Just a quick question.

What pressure do you guys have your tyres pumped to?

I recently had a flat (never found out why it went flat btw - the guy said he couldnt find anything wrong with the tyre after significant testing) and afterwards the person who mounted it back on said to fill them all up to around 36 psi. However I checked on the side of the wheel and saw a max of 35. In the end I just filled them to 32. Interestingly most of my tyres were in the mid 20s prior to me checking.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I have just recently pumped mine to 38psi - they were kina flat and it was the first time I had to pump em up. Ride previous @ around 28psi was alot smoother but I have found that at higher psi it has better handeling (can really feel all the bumps) but thats also because of the Tien HA set-up.

I have also been told...

My last car I fitted Perelli P7000's (215 x 40 x 17) I had them pumpede to 45psi because they had a MAX of 50psi anyway these tyres only lasted 15000km's B4 they were well and truely stuffed, when I went to the place that sold em to me they said I should have only pumped them around 30 - 35psi to increase life of tyres - sacrifice performance? how much I'm not sure.

Depends on the tyre. I'm running Bridgestone GIIIs, and they are recommended to run 36psi in them.

As a rule of thumb, running around 2psi higher in the fronts (of a 2WD car) will reduce the tendency to understeer.

I have Yokohoma AVS 235 45 17s front and 255 40 17's rear - tyre shop advised 36psi at front and 38psi at rear. Went to the track last week and highest pressure was 45psi . The guy in charge said a tyre should not vary more than 4psi between cold & hot temp, hence the high track psi.

They are stock Nankangs.  

Bloody shithouse too if you ask me!

Holy shit dude...

Get some new tyres, I had NAKA... fu*k it on my FWD Celica and I would have to say the factory stock were 100 x better than the cheap NAKA... fu*k it sport rubber I put on. You get what you pay for... 90% of the time!

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
