I have a set of stock R33 GTR rims on my GTST. When I first bought my car, it came with 235/45/17s on the front and 255/40/17s on the rear. I've always replaced the tyres with the same sizes. Now I'm not 100% sure, but wasn't the stock GTR Rim tyre size 245/45/17?

Have I had the wrong sizes on my car all this time? I love the look of the staggered tyres and am in the process of narrowing down my options for the next set. But it occurred to me, that either I'm worrying about nothing, or I might actually have the wrong size tyres on my car. Maybe that explains why I'm about 5km under the actual speed limit on my speedo and why people seem to like to tailgate me alot.

Because of the AWD system on the GTR, rolling diameter at all 4 needed to be the same essentially. Seeing as though the GTST is rear wheel drive, you can have staggered sized wheels and tyres and it will not affect the drivetrain (however height of tyre/wheel can affect speedo)

90% of Skyline owners run very similar sized tyres as what you have, it's very normal.

Ok cool, sounds like things are ok then :)

Yes having a quicker speedo has probably saved me from 1 or 2 speed traps. It's not something I'm overly worried about, rather in connection with the tyre sizes, it got me originally thinking I might have the wrong sizes.

    • Yes, the problem is the supply chain hasn't standardized on metric which makes it more expensive to source metric hardware. They're all mail order at this point. Fastenal is cheap but you can't exactly rock up to a fulfillment warehouse as a random D2C. Paying 13 USD in shipping for 3 nuts doesn't really make sense. McMaster-Carr and similar companies are all in a similar sort of boat. If you like gambling on mystery hardware Amazon is cheap too but you're going to be buying 25 of whatever screw you need. So Lowes/Home Depot ends up being the way to go if you really only need small quantities of hardware for odd jobs like trying to rebuild a power steering pump that calls for an m6x1.0 screw to pop out the flow control valve. 
    • What size bolts did you use to reattach the cam cover baffles? Thinking it will need to be M3-M4
    • Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session
    • You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.
    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
