NISSAN GTR R35 tyre problem :'(

[zerotian]

are you going to sell the GTR?

 

[infinity.melvin]

better to buy another car for your daily use bro.. seems like GTR is not the kind of car for your needs..
I've only heard of GTR owners increasing rim size, not reducing em. And you wouldn't want to ruin the effort of the nissan engineers put in to the making of the GTR by putting on some cheapo rims and tyres..

my humble 0.0002 cents

Actually there are GT-Rs that reduce their wheel size to 18". Just not in Malaysia. Those guys are running 18" as it produces better times at the drag strip. That is the sole purpose of the reduction and not cost savings like gtrmaniac.

Below picture is an example.

the other reason could be availability of drag slicks in 20"

if maintaining the car is a hassle to you, might as well sell it off, since ur bro sold it to you and it's all yours now... make ur own decision... but having a R35, what's the problem of maintaining tires, since the car is more than 300k? hahaha... just my 2 cents

U should've known what you're gonna get yourself into when u purchased the car, plus if u can afford the car, u should be able to afford the tires. Not surprised if after this you might be asking on how to reduce maintenance cost or cheaper insurance and roadtax

I bought this car quite cheap from my brother, hes a sofware engineer. So i dont want to sell the car because he really loved it. So im taking care of it on his behalf.

I really dont know anything about cars because im not a car guy. I love travelling.

I did not think about the brakes. Can something be done about the brakes? Can i change it to smaller ones together with the wheels?

I can change the tyres for RM10,000, i have the money, but i think its just too much of a waste, wasting my hard earned money on a bunch of tyres which are going to wear out and dissapear on the surface of the road when im using the car.

I just want simple smaller rims and affordable tyres.

Changing to smaller brakes you will not be able to stop this brute.

The cheaper tyre option is the OEM Bridgestone RE070R which retails at slightly above 8k per set (4pcs new). Try not to downgrade the wheels size. Otherwise you can get used OEM R35 tyres from tyre shops (I've seen a few shops selling used R35 tyres, and a few of them thrown across the street from ATS Automobile) or from V-Spec as mentioned above.

Otherwise if you insist on downgrading, I'm happy to take the OEM wheels and worn out tyres from you AND pay for a set of replacement rims + tyres. If the brakes cannot clear the smaller wheels, I'll take the OEM brakes and replace them with smaller brakes, all at no cost to you. However I won't be responsible if this action upsets the very sensitive electronics on your car.

Thats a good idea, I still insist on downgrading. Can you do it? What type of rims are you planning to put in my car? I dont care about whatever rims to put,i just dont want those flashy ones. You can have my original brakes, and replace them with smaller brakes, as long as they are working, but what brakes are you planning to give me ? Do i have to pay money to you to change the brakes? I just want to know the total cost of chaning rims and changing the smaller brakes. Thanks.

I dont care about the sensitive electronics, because as i said, im not a racer. The fastest i have been in my life is 120kmh in that GTR, i dont dare to drive fast. And yes, you guys are suprised and thought that there might not be guys like me in this world, but hey, im here.

Hi there,

I have the perfect solution for you. I have a complete set of Lexus LS430 17 inch rims and Lexus LS400 4-pot brakes that I am happy to swap for your rims and brakes.
The tyres are brand new Falken Ziex 912s.
A new set only costs 1600 for all 4 tyres.

Awaiting your PM.

Many thanks! :)

Will it fit? How much will it cost me if i trade it with my oem rims,tyres and brakes ? How much do i need to add? I just want to know the price. Price is the main issue.

No disrespect to you,

Trust me, everyone here wants to believe. But to be honest the forummers here have battled trolls and clones for over 10 years since they were in their 20s.

If you're not genuine, they're only playing along.
If you're genuine, it's time you show some proof.

Sorry but 120km/h..? my gramma drive faster in a old rust bucket.

You don't know about the basic things of car. I suggest you just keep everything stock and don't change anything. People will cheat you bcos you don't know anything !!! I will change my 4pot with your 6pot, but what the hell? It is cheating only.
From what you asking here, can imagine what silly thing will happen to you.
You don't have money then just keep the car in garage and store it !
Better than when your brother come back and realize that he have to kill you.

People here asking " is it a joke ? " it means you sound like a joker ! It means further, what you asking here, no one will do it in his world.

The wheel size n brake is there 4 a reason! U dont just simply change it smaller as u wish. Y not u ask 'can i fit wira disc into the gtr? That one 13" wheel also can fit. Silverstone tyre cheap cheap! Then try your stopping power n c. I bet your disc will melt!
