Hi Guys,

I have just imported a 2003 V35 coupe with Brembos and 19" wheels. I need to find 18X8 30 offset wheels to fit over brembos for compliance. I have had a difficult time finding original 7 spoke 18" wheels in Perth.

Does anyone have a set in Perth that I could buy or hire?

Alternatively, I have been told that the 6 spoke 18" Nissan 350z wheels will fit the V35 coupe and clear the v35 brembos - Is this true?

I had the same problem. Ended up buying a set of 18" 350z track wheels from www.350z-tech.com forum and selling them here shortly after. The track version wheels definitely fit over brembos.

Thanks. However, I would need to buy/hire something by early/mid January at the latest.

I may be selling mine soon, not sure when, still looking for a new set....

Do you know of anyone else who has a set or would you be interested in hiring them if you don't sell them?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the feedback and clarifying they will fit over the Brembos. Did you get yours from the US or off the Aus forum linked to the US forums?

If from the USA, what did the freight cost?

Actually, I just found a set but one of the wheels is buckeled. The seller claims it can be fixed but I am a bit concerned about buying a repaired wheel.

Does anyone know if these wheels should/can be repaired?

Merry Christmas,

Vic

Vic,

I've sold my wheels already so can't lend you mine.

There is an AU section in 350z-tech.com forum. Don't buy from US, it's too much hassle.

You can also trying talking to your compliance workshop, they might have some.

I don't know of any spare sets in town at any of the workshops but 19"s are now factory fitted but with out knowing the off set I couldn't say if you could use them.

Got a CPV35 on the water but wont be here for a couple of weeks, I think Brian from Autotainment called me asking for you.

The V35 and Z33 share the same FM platform, so the suspension is completely identical.

350Z 17" and 18" rims will clear the Brembos. The 18" rims are 18x8.0 +30, the 17" rims are 17x7.5 +30 and 17x8.0 +33. I'm not sure if you can use the latter for Compliancing, but if your workshop says it can then its another option.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).

      @Murray_Calavera nah, not available yet, they're gearing up for it but won't be available for a few years. So you reckon fuel is the main issue? When this bottom did over 600rwhp it was running big single, twin Z32 MAFs and believe it or not, e manage blue, an old school piggyback 😅 not really a fair comparison but I guess it shows how a big single differs to smallish twins.

      @Darrel Can you get pump e85 where you are? If you want to max out those turbos, e85 + bigger modern injectors will be the easiest way to get you there.
