Hey guys, just need a little help.

I bought my gf some pretty nice looking rims for her 1989 charade ( I'm going to pimp it up for her 21st present )

I got some Gmax wheels in 16 inch which look awsum on the car. unfortunately they need new tyres and the seller didn't know where he got them.

they currently have 205/45/16s on them, but they are a much bigger rolling diameter then her current wheels which will chuck her speedo way out, also, I want some slightly skinner tyres, ie . 205/40/16 because they are rubbing at the back.

The car will need the back guards rolled and new suspension, I just need to find some tyres.

Bob jane are not that helpful and she doesn't need performance, just some cheap rubber to get her around! Please tell me some good places, or if you have these sorts of tyres!

Thanks,

Adam :)

Yokohama make a 215/40x16 in the S.drive model. This is a performance tyre, though. They don't seem to make a similar size in the economy model tyres.

Anyway, have a chat to Andrew at Traction Tyres in Rowville (www.tractiontyres.com.au).

thanks for some of the help guys, but unfortunetly, the tyre can't be any bigger then what it already is... 205/45/16... I was hoping for a thinner tyre.. ie... 205 or 195 /40/16

Jezza I await your call. mine is 0419 110 110 btw :D

Thanks,

Adam

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Because the drive dog for the steeering angle sensor is present on wheels that came in HICAS cars and not present on wheels that came on non-HICAS cars. Not that I would let that bother me, because HICAS is trash and any excuse to get rid of it is a good excuse.

      My plan is to replace both Shift Solenoids A and B, and good idea on the Torque Convertor Solenoid as well.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.
