Just got 2 new front tires on my r32 gtr and now I've noticed
the torque guage is moving up to 4%-8% under gently aceleration
and staying there while sitting at a constant speed. I am sure
It wasn't do this before, it used to move up only on hard aceleration
and dropped off after backing off. Is there something wrong ?

Are they a little thicker than the rears.. The profile needs to be the same front and rear

Same size tires all round 255/40 17s the rears do have 4000 miles on them though. Might try swaping them to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks

Yea mine used to do that all the time with 2 different types on tires front and back. Wouldn't worry about it mate. Gauges are poop anyway. Hahaha

Prolonged running with different offsets can cause major malfunction..

Haha. Mines done it for 2 years and all is fine lol.

Got r888's all round now and it doesn't do it as much. Have heard even tire pressure's can affect it too ?

Haha?? It's not supposed to do it.. It can cause damage.. Not really a laughing matter.. Power shouldn't be getting sent permanently to the fronts..

What should the tire pressures be I believe they put 34 psi in the new fronts

Thanks guys just swapped the new fronts to the rear and
she is sweet again only putting power to the front when needed
I don't know how you could drive like that for 2 yrs weights up
the steering badly when just cruising.
