Hi, I just recently discovered a crack on one of my front rims so I decided to replace the front two wheels with the stock 15"s. I was unable to replace the rears due to only having the 2 of the stock rims. So the rears are 18's while the fronts are 15's.

Will this have any ill effects on any car components? Or will the computer be able to compensate for the change?

The 18" rim is irrpairable as the crack is through an entire spoke, and I haven't the money to purchase 4 new rims.

Thanks in advance.

R33 GTS Series 2

(Also I'm making a 1k trip from my current location to another due to uni finishing, hence why I'm a little hesitant)

to jiffo I can't reply to you pm because of my post count. I was wondering if I convert the skyline to rear wheel drive by disabling the ATTeSA system using the instructions in the r33 manual, will that be alright temporarily while I save up money for new rims? Thanks in advance!

Tony,

Apparently it's a GT4, Rb25de.

But forgetting about the ATTESA, I've explained you can't legally drive with 16's on the front and 18's on the rear.

Go the stock 16's all round.

He doesn't actually say that.

It's possible it's RWD but he thinks it's AWD.

Just to clarify its a GTS4. I converted it to RWD by disconnecting the air thing and pumping the breaks. I assumed it was RWD as the 4wd light is always on, But when I tried t test it by spinning the wheels all 4 still spun. ;)

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
