I ran 275/40/17" Nitto Drag Radials on a 17x8" rim and they were fine.

I run the 255/50/16" MT ET Streets on a 16x7.5 although a 16x8" (R32 GTR rim etc) or 16x7" rim will be fine too.

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

Would we be able to get a price on these? and whats the recommended rim width for 275 tyres? will they fit 9" wide rims or will they require bigger?

MT recommended rim width for 275/40/17 is 9".

I have about 20 X 17" wheels that are suitable, but no 16" wheels wide enough.

So the extra $25 is not an issue, cheaper than buying wheels.

I just have to check the clearances on the 2 cars.

So I will either get a pair of 255/50/16's or 275/40/17's.

:P cheers :)

Cool, pretty sure Adrian (2rismo) has run the 17 under his 33. Ill take all the orders on thursday after the drags, and get them all down.

The 275/40/17's 'just' fit on the bum of my 33 gts. I may have had a very flukey offset though....

SK, you can pick up stock 300ZX rims for about $30ea so to save headaches, I'd get a pair of them and buy the 255/16's with the greater sidewall.

Just a thought.

Adrian

surely 255 wont fit on stock 6.5" rims, 225s are allready bulging out of the side. Im pretty sure the stock 16" were meant for 205 tyres.

Anyway, Im down for a pair of 275/40/17 if this goes ahead.

Any chance of interstate postage and how much? or do we have to arrange pick up in sydney was it?

I know this is probably not recommended, but are these legal to use on the street?

Yes they are one hundred percent street legal. are a soft compound though, and have decent sidewall, look tough on the street.

Thanks Adrian, I do have set of Stagea 16" wheels, same size as R33GTST. I was thinking more along the lines of R32GTR rims as they are 8".

The taller sidewall is a thought, have you compared the 255/50/16's and the 275/40/17's times? Is there a noticeable difference? It's a width versus sidewall comparison, which gives the best result.

I have a pair of ugly 17 X 9" with a serious 45 mm offset, on those wheels the 275's would have no problems outwards, maybe inwards would be an issue though. That's what I have to measure.

:happy: cheers :P

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
