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.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
