Guys,

I just put some 19's on the GTR R33 they are:

Rear - 275 x19

Front - 245 x19

And now, the front torque gauge is fluctuation around the middle, regardless of speed. The only time it doesn't move is when I am off the accelerator. Also when I am cruising on the freeway the car sort of surges back and forth...

What can I do?

You need the same size tyres all round... doesnt matter what size, as long as all 4 corners are the same.

I have the same size tyres on mine, and the rear ones are worn out more than the front, and on the way home down the highway it was doing that surging thing like you said. That should give you an indication of how sensitive it is.

You gotta remember that essentially, what the ATTESSA system is doing is monitoring the rotational speed of all 4 wheels. If the wheels are rotating at different speed, the computer "thinks" one (or more of the wheels) is slipping and will start transferring torque. The system is designed to cope with small variations (such as natural tyre wear, or turning a corner etc) but when you start fitting different sized wheels and/or tyres front and rear the computer get's well confused!:)

It's best to keep all 4 wheels and tyres identical. Plus the added bonus: you can rotate the tyres every so often and maximize tyre life...

Not sure, I've heard of people running tyres that wide on a R34, not sure about an R33. You might have to have the guards rolled and making sure the wheels are the right offsets is going to be essential.

275's...seriously wide-ass tyres! :)

On R33 GTR thge right fitment on 19's are 275/30/19 front and rear. Also the wheel width is 19x10 front and rear. You can lower is as low as you want and it will never scrape on the provision you have the right wheel offset. So buy wheels accordingly for a GTR not just cos its 19inch.

Then why bother getting a GT-R?

Only if you remove the front prop shaft (from transfer case to front diff). Pulling the fuse puts the car into limp-home mode (on 33s).

Very nice wheels :D I'd be reluctant to take 'em off and replace with originals. It might be worth trying putting the rears (with 275's ) up front and testing to see whether you're gonna have problems with it catching the fenders. If not, then you know you can go out, get another set of 275's and run that size at all four corners...

Very nice car BTW! ;)

What if your front ones are worn and rear ones are new..?

Is that mean the torque will keep staying to the rear always?

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.

      There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.
