I'm looking to find a set of OEM nissan optional 19" 5-spoke wheels from a V35 350GT coupe

they look like the image attached

i know how much they are worth, and i am keen to find a set locally rather than having to go through yahoo autions or get some from the USA (i would rather avoid shipping from overseas if i could!)

alternatively, if anyone knows where a set is please let me know (ie they know that an importer has a set or something)

thanks in advance

Warren.

Hey Waz,

I'm actually looking for a set too and know that a member in the ACT vspec2 is selling a set (he PM'd me). I'm still undecided at this stage but you can give him a PM if you like as I'm not ready to buy as yet at least for another month or two.

btw...what are you doing with ur current wheels? :D

if i find some 19s, you can buy my old wheels from me if you like :)

they are the stock V35 7-spoke shadow chrome 18's with 80% yokohama V550's on them :) (i replaced 2 tyres at $500 each!)

thanks for the info on vspec2 i will PM him. do you have any more info on those ones he is selling?

i found another guy in ACT selling a set (username: paragon) but he has painted them and wants a bit too much $$ for them..

Didnt get any pictures yet from Vspec2 but he's asking $1800 for them with mild gutter rash..add another $150 or thereabouts for freight and its not too bad.

The 350z anniversary wheels look pretty good on the v35s too :)

Will definately consider ur 18s if the price is right seeing as ur local...I need to lower my ride first.

the good thing is that the V35 and Z33 offer a great range of bolt-on wheel options for us without us having to go aftermarket unless you really want to...

even the standard 17s aren't bad, just that our guards are huge thus making everything look small!

my favourite 350z wheel is the 25th anniversary wheel, its chrome 5-spoke 18" and looks great. a lot of 350z's have them as standard now they are a great looking rim.

i'm after the 19s for size and the look!

i'll let you know how i go with vspec2 as if i get his 19s then you will be the first person i contact with my 18s!

mine also have a bit of gutter rash on the front L&R sides, they were like that when i bought them from spikey (another SAU member with a V35 coupe). but the tyres are in great condition and yokohamas's too!

the standard 18s look quite good on the sedan as the offset on them makes them sit out more on the sedan than on the coupe (i think). there are a few pics of sedans with 18s on them on g35driver.com

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
