The sedans as we know are not as lucky as the coupe to be able to fit low offset wheels similar to the 350z. A forum member in the US has given me hope!

He was able to fit 19x9 +26 and 19x10 +26 with only a 1" drop and lipping the inner guards. So over the weekend I chucked my SSRs on the rear of my sedan to see for myself. The wheel was 18x9.5 +35

These were on my 34 previously fitted with 265/35/18 tyres. Please ignore the huge gap between guards and tyres because the profile is not suited to the V35. I reckon with a 245/45 or 40 and guard lipping I should be able to pull it off! :P

Attached is the sedan offset chart for those who haven't seen it. Based on the above G35 driver offsets, looks like there is a little bit more room to play with once the car is lowered. I have made an adjustment to the supposedly extra room based on the above 19x9 +26 and 19x10 +26 . If anyone has successfully squeezed an aggresive offset wheel under the sedan guards please post specs and pics.

Cheers.

Looks great. You must be pretty happy with how it all looks now. Hopefully nicer to drive too.

Very happy at the moment with the improved handling and looks!

that looks amazing on the 350z anniversary wheels!

now the only problem is that you can now see more of the brake setup and you need some nice slotted rotors to show off also!

Yes, the brakes aren't the best looking things on the car, so while the wheels were off, I spray painted the calipers gloss black, so they wouldn't stick out like dogs balls.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
