Its called a sidewall, smart people get tyres to suit the driving conditions, they look good for the street where pot holes and rough roads will make having lower profile tyres a PITA, me, I wont go any lower than 40 series even on a 265 for the street or the track. currently running 245/45 17 on the street myself and they are awesome on the road and good enough to do 12.2 at the drags.

Whilst I do admit low profile tyres can look good they are a PITA unless you always drive on fresh smooth blacktop, or if you dont mind the harsh ride and damaged rims.

I agree hank :yes:, shouldve gone 235 haha. I suppose at some point you have to choose whether you want looks or handling,

there cant really be both to a certain extent. As long as i can make it look tough im happy.

:huh:

But 235/40 and 265/35 have the same height sidewall...

I stand corrected, I still like more side wall though, 93mm for the 265/35 or 106mm for the 265/40, I would go the 40 as a minimum. As for 235/35 at 82mm or 235/40 at 94 mm, for the street that extra 12mm comes in handy

But yes, IM WRONG, sorry for causing any missinformation.

Alrighty got rear guards rolled today and rims and tyres are now on. The look is growing on me, its more of a tough race sorta look which i

do not mind at all. I had a look at the coilovers while i had the wheels off and they rears were already wound all the way down and i only had

about an inch to play with at the front. Teins and there poor adjustability :glare:. Lowered the front slightly and it doesnt sit too bad. Once i get

the camber and everything done it should look sick. No problems at all fitting the rears inside the guard, seems to be enough room. I havent

gona around any corners or anything fast yet so i shall find out maybe tommorrow. Ill also get photos up tommorrow for those who would like

to have a look.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
