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.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
