NISSAN GTR R35 tyre problem :'(
- Thread starter gtrmaniac
- Start date
what about safety ? can stop properly?
will it interfere with the electronics?
confort? what tyres? tried and tested on a GTR before?
What I know if the overall diameter is change as close as possible to the original size, then the traction control and whatever will still run.
If 17", probably 255/55R17. This size also have very little choices on tyres and with 7.5J rims, this is the widest it can go as this 255/55 minimum rim width is 7.5J and best is 8 to 8.5J....
Yup..it's not about us being speed freaks. Safety is the issue here.
The problems regarding electronics notwithstanding, there's also the issue of weight (if not speed, since you mentioned you only drive at 120km/h). At 1.7 ton, it's a hell of a heavy beast. Reducing the braking power AND reducing the traction available with cheaper and smaller tire sounds like a bad idea, no matter how you cut it.
Surely someone with a background in engineering can understand this issue....right?

your r35 is stock standard?
why do your pictures show a hks800 car under the hood and at the rrear diffuser? with aftermarket exhaust?
why do your pictures show the car already running aftermarket rims?
why do your pictures show a mines carbon front splitter that already costs 24k?
i dont believe those are pics of your car coz i know that particular car in the pics you posted.

Do keep in mind it's not just a brake and wheel change...u hv to take a lot of things into account like custom brake hoses, brackets, hand brake system, ABS and brake bias into account if changes are to be made to the GTR
*This car was bought from Japan by my brother, and it was modified with a HKS 800 kit. Why should i be going around telling everyone that my car has a HKS 800 kit? So what? And so what if my car has a Mines Carbon Front Splitter that costs 24k? So what? So what if it has a sticker? So what if it has a viper? So what if it has a scratch? What has that got to do with the question im trying to ask?
All i know is, when the car came from Japan, it was already equipped like that.
My brother bought the car, and it came with those type of rims. So i consider it standard rims, how the hell do i know whether he changed it or not? All i know those are the rims that came with the car when he bought it.
I dont know anything about cars , i was just driving a A-Class only only before this.
If you dont believe, maybe you can drop by Setiawangsa/Wangsa Maju/Ampang and i can show you the car? But errr, why should i even meet a total stranger just to prove my point? I dont think you are even on my level, you must be some college kid judging by the way you talk.
As i said, i dont know anything about cars man, im not interested in cars. I just love fashion and shopping , thats all.
Im working as a drilling ops superintendent at a famous offshore company.

This cars engine is tuned by HKS, NOT Mines.
The Mines stuff is just the exterior goodies, such as the
1)Mines front carbon fibre spoiler,
2)Mines carbon fibre air intake duct
3) Mines carbon fibre engine cover
4) Mines carbon rear wing cover
5) Mines diffuser
Then why are you bothered with keeping the car then? Go get something that tickles your shopping and fashion fancy then. Like a bright neon pink BMW 1 series hatchback.
And I happen to know quite a few offshore op sups. The O&G world is a small small world. Based on the way you talk you sound awfully young, so let me ask around to see if I can identify you.
If you really are who you say you are. Oh wait.. that's not the point of this thread.
Ok back to the GTR tyre problem. :sleep:
So what? So what? And more so whats??
So u dah kena kantoi-lar... That's what!
How many ways do I have to say it? That's not your car coz I know the owner of this car and his name is not Sean, and neither did he go California...
Kee from Links knows this car very well. He installed all the stuff. Tom might wanna kaypoh a bit?
Btw I'm surprised u actually know its hks-tuned and not mines-tuned given that your interest lies with shopping and fashion, not tuned engines...
Continue digging boy! The bad smelling stuff is reaching your ears already...
