  1. Im sure they do because some shops asked to fit exactly that on mine, but I don’t know the clearances on your car or if its been lowered. Your best best is to take it to a wheel & tyre shop (or try asking them) if you can get it registered as it is they will have all the answers. If you do go bigger just remember your speedo will become understated - this is why I won’t run different sizes to oem (that & I dont like to overload steering/ joints etc- even if it is very minor increase). You can change the adaptor on the speedo cable to the gearbox to get the speedo right too. Just depends on what you got planned for it. If you’re happy to leave it sitting down and just run around with bigger wheels assuming they fit / not bottom out- its not a problem at all.
  2. Hi and best of luck with your car. Its a bit hard to tell how low the car is all round from that pic or if its been lowered or not. 90mm is a bit low on the front apron but it depends on the shocks & springs condition & whether or not its been lowered. Going to 19” wheels will give you 15-20mm depending on rubber but you might need new shocks. Mine -2005 are weeping fluid slightly but have lasted 19years!!. So if yours are original they need replacing anyway if they havent been touched before.

  4. Lol Yes Apologies it s/be 350GT & 370GT - I already made that mistake browsing & got Mustangs & other cars!. But I think you kniw what I mean!
  5. @Toblerone - As mentioned previously I have an Australian Clutch Services - “Extreme” heavy duty single mass clutch installed in my GT350 since May & it is just fine. I got actually 3 different quotes for both single/ dual mass and all were very similar from 2200 to 2800. The Exedy Dual mass was slightly more expensive. I don’t think the GT370 should be much different so 4k seems a bit much. I did not like my installers as I had too many delays/dramas but they were 2200. I would strongly recommend Michael from Revolution Autogroup at Revesby as he knows these cars better than anyone 02 9773 1002 or 0404 167 230 he will probably recommend the Exedy Dual Mass which was 2800 incl gst but that was for a 350gt. Hope it helps. Cheers Elie
  6. Wow some serious work there. I guess there were some upgraded parts in all that. mines a 350 so I don’t know how compatible they are. But was just after an indication at this stage. My whole car is not worth that much. cheers
  7. Good on ya. I think I maybe due for mine soon. Ive done inner lower control bushes last year. It would be good to know how much each of these costs. nice car!
  8. UPDATE: The little knocking was the Engine Mounts!. Got No idea why one engine mount was nearly all the way loose! & other half way!!. Mechanic said he “did not touch them”. Bit of lock tight & tension & bobs your uncle!. The car now drives with no noises what so ever & smooth as .( other than slight CV/suspension creek that was there before). Very little to no chatter -same or less than original clutch -but as I said above its very early. This clutch holds speed (coasts) well under 60 and the original DM better above 80. You have to adjust driving with lighter throttle on SM & holding it longer on highway speeds. Mine was done at Oyaji Motorsports & I would NOT recommend them to anyone ATM. Maurice is in Japan & only have fabricator doing ALL mechanic work, the very little time they are open. I did not know any of this when Maurice quoted!. me. If he’d told me any of this No Way would I have gone there. They f/d up bleeding the system taking a whole day & half!!. When I told them where the problem must be & was! The bolt below the master was not done up properly! (On them). Then they brushed me twice - saying you need to get familiar with new clutch for weeks /month . Luckily only the second week in I told them something is seriously going wrong & literally had to get the installer in the car again after 10min on the hoist all became obvious!!!..
  9. Hi sonicii, yes thats what I thought and even my brother who’s a fitter just said today anything can be machined.so I’ll edit my pt7. I’m still familiarising myself with it and must confess its a little odd getting the tiny “knock” sounds randomly, mostly cornering.
  10. After 186k, slipping clutch( occasional sticking pedal from 160k) I finally changed my clutch to ACS Extreme HD Single Mass. Only driven today but, can say:- 1. no noise diff or chatter at idle (if anything prob less chatter) 2. Occasional light clutter noise on first release. Not always 3.Occasionally light low speed lash, noise, through drivetrain whilst upshifting in corners.(again not always maybe different revs gear change) 4. Slightly quicker (maybe .05/s more responsive upshifts). Generally crisper feel. 5. In gear acceleration from lower revs a bit better. 6. Slightly different noise through the transmission during gear changes both up / down. Not more or less just different. 7. you can service this flywheel/ replace clutch plate - You cannot do this on Dual mass OEM flywheel -such a shame for $2.5k unit. Good HD Single mass is still over 2.1k fitted but many suppliers are quoting the same for both HD’s. Some more for dual. I only went this way as I think it would improve response on an old engine with a slightly lighter flywheel & so far it feels that way. My car still has a great deal of torque with the exhaust and chip on the timing & having a solid flywheel feels right for it. Its obviously too early to get a full judgement. So hopefully I’m not spewing in a years time.But the Heavy duty flywheel SM is not too much lighter than the dual and my understanding is the new clutch plate on the SM has more spring & material for dampening to compensate for the lighter solid mass. (not fully obviously). Hopefully this helps. Will keep you posted if things change. cheers Elie
  11. If it was “leaking from a small hole”..why didn’t your mechanic seal that ???. You need to see another mechanic. One thing at a time. If you have leaks they need to be fixed. If the radiator hose/s are no good -replace it!. Then check your oil - if its milky/got water in it, you’ve probably got a blown head gasket.
  12. Ive had my 05, GT350 premium for 15 years!. And have had little problem with it. My regular mechanic does the servicing. The common issues with these cars are:- 1. Door locks. Nissan ones don’t last so an aftermarket universal brand are much stronger. 2. The clock spring (behind steering wheel).Need to replace with a genuine replacement. 3. Airbag warning light- easily reset with ignition procedure. But you need to find out whats causing the problems.(Usually something to do with seat wiring or other electrical problem. Cuong (Michael) at Revolution Electronics in Revesby, Sydney, knows these cars better than anyone. He done the door locks & clock spring, he even replaced the radio tuner the compliers put in with a better one when I first got it. He does everything in Minutes- its unbelievable how quick he is and he is very reasonable. Other than these Ive had no other issues other than ones I cause myself such as not seeing/ removing the dirt off the tray under radiator which killed it!. I used Alexandria Radiators here in Syd as they made the only good replica at the time(fans too) for a very reasonable price. Genuine used to be 1600+ dont know now maybe cheaper.. good luck hope you get a decent one cheers elie
  13. I tried this at least once & it usually works, but the last time it didn't. Thats why I tried the method above. I've never seen this before..Cheers
  14. Yeah, possibly I read it somewhere years ago. But this time I just tried it without checking or looking. Also after you do these resets heaps of times you try anything!. A couple of sites do the 3sec then 2sec wait in the off position, so to me it just made sense to go that one step further!.
