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

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
