Hey guys, i was just wondeirng what tyres did a ecr33 come out with from factory. i have 225 50 16's on mine, and i think its the actual size, i have never found actual evidence pointing at this. the rims are the standard r33 16x6.5" rims.

I think there should be a specifications page on here somewhere :) for all the skylines from r30 - 31 up to the new skyline ...

just an idea tho

For 16 x 6.5 size rims (the standard Skyline/Fto's etc)

best with 205/55/16 (which i have on my stockies) fits perfectly straight sidewall.

it can also fit 225/50/16 BUT it tyre looks like its squashed in if you know what i mean, (they were the tyres that came with the car).

Car seems to handle better overall with the 205's compared to the 225's but thats my opinion might be different for others.

my 2c

thats really strange, cause im sure the tyre size plates on the car specify 225/50/16, will have to check again, speedo just seems to be out a little too much just from plain wear from the tyres ... wanting to know so when i organise my new rims what rolling diameter to get :)

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
