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?

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?

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.

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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
