Hey all,

Well the time has come to replace my rear tyres as they are on the verge of nothingness....so I rang up the local guy, they (Bridgestone) stopped producing my tyres!!! (Firestone Firehawk SZ50EP 225/50/R16 92V).....s$&t!

so now I have 80-90% good fronts and stuffed rears on a R32 GTS4......

Is it at all possible to have different rears to the fronts with an ATESSA Comp?

I dont have the money to do all 4 new tyres, especially when the fronts are still so good....

Any help would be muchly appreciated!

PS: I did manage to track a set of 4 down, but he couldnt sell just 2 as it would be impossible to sell the other two....so have to look for a new tyre....

EDIT: Typos

The ATTESSA handles the difference between worn and new tyres. Nissan aren't that mean to make you buy 4 new tyres all the time. The diameter needs to be the same (allowing for tread depth wear), the width is irellevant, the ATTESSA doesn't care how wide the tyres are.

:P cheers :)

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
