running different size tyres is illegal in western australia

if placard has same size rim tyre for front and rear legally they have to be kept the same

Not to sure about s/h Jap rims.

make sure you get it checked out before you buy them.

it all depends on what you want really. if I were you, try to keep the mags as light as possible.

most shiny wheels look good for show only.

contact Beaurepaires Mellville. they have a good range.

if you wait for a while, ask for Yang. (his on holiday at the moment) he will be a great assistant.

yeh dude b carefull with cheap ass ozzy rims,,one off my 18`s has a very annoying ribration at about 40 k`s,took me ages to figure the problem was actually the rim,!!and they are brand new to,,

My mate had the same problem . . get to a certain speed and the car would virbate, took him ages to work out what it was. . . ended up being his new rims

is this diamater or width? because i thought the 350Z comes factory with different width tyres between the front n back? :)

Speak to Brad at West Coast Wheels down in Mandurah. He is a good guy and is always prepared to do a good deal!

Tell him Brad from WA Suspension sent you :D

if i go into mandurah soon i might just do that

is this diamater or width? because i thought the 350Z comes factory with different width tyres between the front n back? :D

if the tyre placard states different size tyres then it is ok but if it states all 4 the same size they have to stay the same legally

eg supra with 17 x 8 front 17 x 9 rear is ok because rears on tyre placard are are 1 inch wider than fronts

same style staggered fitment on a gtr is illegal because tyre placard has same size for front and rear eg 16 x 8 all round

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
