This is what my tyre placard states, the law states you cannot ecceed + or - 15mm of overall diameter of factory wheel/tyre combination.........otherwise speedo will be out by a certain %

So you could run r22x30x245 if your hektic and that

I'm actually looking for tyres for my 19x.9.5's (when they show).

Some good deals in 245/40 R19 - HSV front end tyres from what I'm told, same as what spoolin is running from memory. They are 1.5% out.. So at 100kmh reading you're doing 101.5kmh.

sweet, what offset do you have to run 9.5 wide? Mine are 9 inch wide and they are just legal, but will be getting new wheels when the funds allow it.

Oh noes! Does that mean I'm breaking-law.jpg?w=385&h=240:banana:

Like a Baws.

This is what I run; it gives around 3% error (100km/h indicated= 97km/h actual) against my GPS. thumbsup.gif

My tyre size is exactly the same as yours Dale, & my speedo reads 7% fast at 100km/h by my GPS.....

I think the satellites need recalibration.

Lol, well I get a different speed going in two different directions on the same piece of road; so anything's possible...

Maybe if they bring the satellites a bit closer to the earth?:blink: They're miles too far away, IMO...

Jase, if you're wanting to fit the valve body upgrade at the same time as dropping all the fluid, I can sell you mine, that rocked up today, and just order another one?

I'm not in a hurry, especially since I changed the trans fluid when I got the car, around 6 months ago. So if you're changing the trans fluid shortly, better off doing the shift kit at the same time.

Evidently I have come into this with my eyes shut. What is this valve body upgrade? Not the shift kit thing that everyone is talking about? I don't think I have the mechanical confidence to tackle a job like that.

Yep, that's it. Mine came yesterday. I love the sticker on the front, but I don't believe a word of it....

Yeh....not hard at all.....you just don't want to make an error. Things often come with labels like that.....also throw the distructions in the bin as they have a whole heap of useless info in them too!

Seriously

If you have mechanical knowledge it's a can do....if your struggling to do anything on your car mechanically don't attempt it!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
