    tyre size

    Nonsense how is it nonsense? im pretty sure a rim has a related/recommended tyre size which will fit safely, and then there will be a limit either smaller and larger becoming more and more stretched or hanging over the rim, where to a point they become unsafe or less safe? not 100% true as the oems are 8's all round its just not optimal My oem wheels are 8.0 and 8.5. my nismo 19's are 8.5 and 9.5
  2. What mileage did you do in those months. I'm lucky to use a litre a year topping up on an 06 300ps engine

    tyre size

    The actual wheels should be a staggered size, ie 8.5" on front 9.5" on rears. There's no point in buying wheels and then trying to stagger the tyre size as it won't work or may be dangerous.
  4. Listen to the man, he knows what he's talking about!

    tyre size

    The rear wheels should be a staggered size ie wider. On 19" 245 Tyres should be 35profile. The pro's will be along soon to tell you correctly
  6. Just checked the man with the zed on his chests subforum. They are 595 a pair now. But oh how very sexy!
  7. Ah I thought it was 550 a side! Is that the pair vik?
  8. About a grand. Don't buy ebc turbogrooved, everyone that I know up here that has them complains about the noise and aren't impressed by them. The oem brembo discs are good enough.
  9. Performance friction discs. Goodridge lines or hel lines. Motul rbf660 fluid
  10. defo polly! she drives as slow as vik by the sounds of it
  11. Hey mate, I run 30's and the ride is great and very stable. I've dropped u a pm with some info. I have the nismo skirts and bumpers/splinter and I can get over most speed bumps without hassle. Had minor issues with huge ones but suprised myself with how big I can get over
  12. Ah no worries I was on it earlier and sayin i wasnt authorised and then it disappeared. Thought I'd done something i shouldn't have

    tyres for 19"

    I dnt know why people stretch there Tyres. All it does is make the car handle terrible. Taddy the correct size for a 8.5 rim is 245/35/19. Even the standard 18x8.5 comes with a 245

    tyres for 19"

    I have 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. That's what nismo spec'd for the nismo rims I'm sure. I may stand corrected though. You will be stretching the tyre and also could have some tcs issues. Why are you wanting to go thinner? The oem wheel is 8.5 on rear and has a 245. So in reality your talking about putting oem front tyre widths on a 19" rim which is wider. Gonna look like skinny bike wheels.
  15. Vik as you know I'm an a/c engineer. The water content discharged is due to the moisture content of the air and how much your car cools the air. Similar to why you get dew on grass in the morning if it's cool. It will have been doing it from day one but is usually discharged when driving. You just won't have noticed it before. It's normal behaviour and means it's working correctly and efficiently. It means it's managing to cool the air beyond it's dew point which is good in terms of cooling.
  16. Yep mate I think I'm gonna end up butchering the own facelift cubby and just having the screen visible all the time. Not ideal but I can't find the parts anywhere
  17. ouch im just about to fit decats which havent any resonators, how much would you be looking for them mate?
  18. So to put short, he ripped his arse like a japan flag
  19. Ian, is that the ones or the 06 dash which is the same colour? I'll pm him soon
