Hey all

I just recently got my R33 GTS-T back after 2 weeks off the road to replace a blown turbo.... and after 10 mins of driving it i blew a rear tyre.

I was told (and shown) by my local tyre place that the inside wall of all four tyres are cracked... and the rear left on was so cracked it blew, and the other rear one was on its way out so it was replaced as well.

The problem is.... i paid $350 EACH for these tyres in march of this year, and they have travelled only 20 000kms from new...

They are Falken... 235/45ZR19... and they guy said the cracking is due to such an extremely low profile... but i realised to myself afterwards that the tyres that were on the car before i replaced the whole set were the exact same tyres and had no cracks whatsoever, only the tread was worn to dangerous levels...

And the tread on the tyres i just had replaced was fine...?

Im confused... should the above mentioned tyres lasted more than 20 000kms? Remembering tread is fine....

Car in stock, unmodified...

Interesting i've got the same tyres but in 235/45/17 i wouldnt call them extreemly low profile though as i've seen 35's too and theres a large difference.

This happened to my mate (crack then blow out) who ran kuhmos at a 35mm profile he took the tyres back to the seller and he replaced them for him for free with sumitomo's I think.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
