I have an original 45,000 mile Z31 for sale at £995.00. Totally original 1984, one owner, non-turbo model. White with red interior and auto box. 12 months MOT with all old documents. An absolute bargain!

My daughter calls it Toothless the Dragon: My ‘95 TT Z

Happy to say work on my engine block is now finished! Billet main caps were found to be up to 4 thou out of round. This time they have been machined using the ARP’s that will be used during assembly (unlike last time by EPR!)

Cylinders were rebored to suit my 88mm CP pistons and cross hatching angle, depth and surface finish all set up for the Total Seal gapless piston ring pack I have chosen to use. I think I’ll be the first person on the UK to use Total Seal’s gapless piston rings on a VG30, so I’m looking forward to seeing if the live up to the hype

Tyre size recommendations

Might be stating the obvious (to some) but something I didn't realise until I started trying to pick tyres for aftermarket wheels is that the profile figure - e.g. 40 - is 40% of the width.
So for a 255/40/17 tyre - diameter is 255mm, profile / side wall is 102mm (40% of 255), and radius is 17inches.
Learning this made it all make a lot more sense to me. I also have this graphic to refer to. Can't recall where I found it but it's now saved on my desktop!

I also wanted a chunky looking tyre with a solid side wall and after going 245(F) / 265 (R) , have since switched back to 235(F) / 255 (R) as I found the handling was noticeable more boggy and I use the car for fast road and track use. For ref, these tyres are on 18" BBS LMs.

I used Josh @ Gorilla Imports in 2021. My first time importing and was a very good experience.

Tyre size recommendations

245 on an 8J will look like a balloon on a 8j….. an 8J is only 204mm wide

The tyres you currently have a 2% smaller in diameter and circumference that the OEM wheel/tyre combo

Personally would be looking at a 225/45r17. Plenty of very nice tyre options and only 0.4% different diameter from OEM size

If I’ve built and installed my engine by then (which I bloody hope I have!) I’ll be there
