Rotating tyres question

hi all,

i rotated my tyres a few weeks ago. well my mechanics apprentoid did. concern i have is:

with the grooves on the tyre running inside->outside drawing water out the edge of the tyres etc. Now that i have moved the front left to the rear right, the groves would be pointing outside->inside when looking top to bottom.

Wouldnt this be drawing water into the centre of the tyre, making it want to aquaplane etc?

should i have taken the tyre to a shop and had refitted to the rims instead?

If the tyres are directional (check for rotation arrow on sidewall) they can be rotated front to back on the SAME side.

To rorate left to right they MUST be removed from the rims, refitted and balanced, this is the fix for fronts that wear faster on the inside.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
