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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
