Nugget what size front and rear tyres do you have

I have 255 x 17 on all 4

Now, back on topic - Nugget, did you replace all 4 tyres? Did you replace them with the same type / size at each corner?

yeah i replaced all 4 tires i did have P-Zeros on the front and yokahama advans on the rear. now i have kumho KU21's on all 4 yeah and they are all the same size 17x255 40's

it just feels so much different like really lacking power. like i can be doing 160 in 5th and put the foot down and the torque will go to 10, but its also depends how much i put the foot down, half way it will only go in the middle of 0 and 10. before the new tires and wheel alignment it would only really go to the front if i launched of quick snap second quick or take a corner kicking it out. but once moving it would always drop to 0 at the fronts.. which was good. but now as long as i have the foot down it will always sit at 10...... see that could be normal but it felt so much better the old way.

my coments on the abs is it doesnt bother me so much cause i have mostly driven old shitters with no abs so im used to it, but i have to say abs has saved my arse a few times when skipy's and cars that have pulled out in front.

If you can't stop properly without ABS, you are a retard and should not be driving on the road.

And would you say the same about brake boosters grandpa.

Get with the times old man.

Or are these new fangled inventions just too much for ya.

ahahahaaha

ABS is a good thing, it helps assist people that dont know better in an emergency braking situation... not everyone is Ayrton Senna.

I have ABS disconnected in my cars, i hate the pedal feed back when it comes on, and more importantly, relying on ABS is not a good thing at all, there are instances when ABS will not help you in the slightest and no matter what, you are a passenger in your car.

I agree that when you are going to learn to drive a car hard/fast, you need to be able to drive relying on as little as possible to be a truely great driver.

But some people are retards and need ABS and aircon.

hehe j/k

This is exactly true.

All I am saying is....don't go and cut someone's brake lines and not tell them about it.

And before anyone reply's to that, I don't mean that literally.

I'm sure Nugget_GTR can manage to brake on his own without the ABS.

And I'm sure that always_me doesn't intend to put Nugget in danger.

But....you have to remember that Nugget is relying on the words of others who may or may not be more experienced than he is. If you are to offer advice here then make sure you know the consequences so that Nugget can make up his own mind.

Hahaha, what?? when did this turn into me not being able to brake.

I was asking why my torque would be different now that i got new tires and an alignment.... i think someone said they where tied into the abs system.... for the record the GTR is the first car with abs i have had, used to rally the old 1980 323 RWD hatches.. they where the best. ABS does have its advantages though.

anyway how about the torque issue??? hehe :cheers:

Hi Scott,  

Do you have the same brand and size tyres front and back?  

Did you get all 4 tyres new at the same time?

Any variations in size can cause the torque to go to the front.

Yeah got all 4 at the same time all the same size all the same tyre...

i might get someone to check out the susspension cause i think there is a camber issue for the front wheels.,,, could that cause it??

LOL!

Don't want 4WD?

Don't want ABS?

And you've got a GTR? WTF were you thinking? You should have bought an AE82 Corolla!

I never said i didnt want ABS i was just carrying on the discussion

And i do want 4WD just liked it the way it used to be thats all was more aggressive you could say.

what was i thinking when i bought the GTR... "I want godzilla" plus i wanted something that wasnt so common.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
