    @StevoD: No harm in increasing the stagger, all you do is make the car more prone to understeer which is the safer option. Most manufacturers set their cars up this way with regards to other suspension settings from the factory, stops numpties binning their cars as they drive out of the dealership :)

     

    Nowt wrong with increasing the likelihood of oversteer either, so long as you know what you're doing and what to expect. It's just not a great idea to do it via tyre widths as it promotes snap oversteer: Much better to do it subtly with toe, camber, ARB and pressure alterations, IMHO.

     

    Hearing you say that what tire setp up would you suggest knowing what size wheels I have? Be interesting to hear

    looking at it you might think about going for 245 / 40 / 18 front and 265 / 40 / 18 rear

     

    front rolling radius

    326.6mm 2052.09 circumference

    rear rolling radius

    334.60mm 2102.35 circumference

    difference

    50.26 circumference 2.45%

     

    pretty close

     

    AH I see I'll probably go for the 245/40/18 on the front and 265/40/18 on the rear, I like them sizes and it seems the safer way to go. I dont wanna have to much grip at the back as I do have a tendancy to have a skid now and then, only when its safe ofcorse :)

     

    Cheers for the info and time to explain. I'm all set to buy them now and get them on, cant wait!!!!

    the car will be massively prone to oversteer.

     

    What size are the wheels? You won't be able to run stock sizes on 9.5" wheels on the front, 235 is the lowest you should go really.

     

    Whats wrong with oversteer?

     

     

    You really shouldn't run tyres outside of the manufacturer's spec, as it's just asking for trouble.

     

    But no, I was referring to the width of the tyres, not the profile. If you run 235 on the front, then run 255 on the back, you keep the 20mm stagger and stay inside the manufacturer recommendations. :)

     

     

    Thats a wicked bit of information I'll do just that. I didnt know about the 20mm part. Every day is a school day.Thanks bro

     

    doesnt have to be 20mm it is OEM, but on my LMGt4 i had 225 on the front 255 on the rear no issue at all, ive also ran 245 front and 275 rear with no issue (only issue caused was when moving to a lower profile on the 245), Traction control more works on rolling radius than tyre width as it works but working the travel speed of each wheel out then it notices one wheel spinning out of sequence with the other it will apply brakes etc to bring them all in line again.

    I could have a 215 up front and a 315 in the rear as long as the rolling radius is in line with each other via the profiles Traction control wont have an issue

     

    So as long as I run 18's front and back with the same profile, like 40 /40 ect I should be ok? am I right?

    Wheel widths can be the same, tyre widths must be different. Even if the traction control is happy with you running same width tyres, you won't be as the car will be massively prone to oversteer.

    They are 18's and you mean stock size tires?

    I have an import so don't have to worry about the wheels fitting over the callipers. I'll just run smaller tires on the front, possibly stretched and wide as I can go on the rear. That should cure the problem of the traction control, plus I done love a bit of oversteer. :)

    glad to hear the wheels will look good on my zed. Will post pics when fitted.

    After alot of looking around and speakin to some really helpful guys I have finally I gone a bought a set of ultralite nurburgring wheels. Well I got 5 of them one as a spare, got a really good deal from my friend julian at garage D. Like it says above im gonna be running 9.5j's all round with et35. I haven't put them on yet as I'm out of the country but can anyone tell me anything I need to look out for before I learn the hard way ha ha.

    Also what tires do you recommend?

     

    Cheers guys

     

    Gentle ticking noise in 1st & 2nd gear problem??

    in 350Z Technical

    Posted

    I've recently notice that when I am driving in 1st and second gear there is a gentle ticking noise coming from somewhere. It doesnt do it on idle or and other gears, also it only does it at low revs.

     

    At first I crapped my self as ticking noises are never a good sign but this does seem like a big problem I just wanna know if anyone else has had this issue before and knows how to sort it?

     

    look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

     

    Cheers

    JWT pop charger & inlet spacer, worth doing??

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    I've just got back from the States with a rather sexy and well priced plenum spacer as my intention is to get a RevUp done soon...will I risk balls-ing things up if I get it fitted in advance of the RevUp? Currently got Berks HFCs and BC exhaust fitted so have already tinkered with the breathing. I don't think I can afford the remap for another month or so.

     

    Thanks :)

     

    S.

     

    From what I have herd and read you can fit it but to see the most from it, its best to get a re-map. Anyone feel free to jump i and correct me but your engine will be safe until you get the revup done.

    I hope Im right as thats what I'm gonna be doing when I get home, if you fit it soon let me know how it goes and what figures you get after the map.

     

    cheers buddy

    Is this actually a real thing on Ebay!!

    With all due respect if you own a 350Z and don't know these things are a complete joke you should probably be driving a saxo or something. :stir:

     

    Your telling me that this wont work? Looks to me like you'll see massive gains. Once this is installed I'm pretty sure you'll have to put a dog box in to handle the power :scare:

    2 X double din speaker intergration question?

    in I.C.E & Electronics

    Posted

    I have a problem I'll explain, I currently have a pioneer head unit (double din) in the lower mount that puts out to all my speakers in my car. I have the import version 350Z with the sat nav screen in but its all in Japanese, obviously. So what I am gonna do is take the OEM out as I cant read Jap and put a 7" double din GPS unit in the top cubby hole, as I really want a sat nav in there.

     

    Heres my question, can I join the new GPS/DVD unit speaker outputs to the lower Pioneer ones to all run on the same speakers?

     

    I've done a crappy sketch in paint to try and describe it, I just wanna know if it will work? I know I can put in aditional speaks but I dont really wanna do that.

     

    Any help would be great guys :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

     

    P.S: NO making fun of my drawing in paint, I'm special :p
