factory spacers?? doesn't sound right..

a lot of those on the G35 forums run spacers because it gives the car a nicer look with the wheels flush with the guard rather than sunken in a bit. they're not legal though in any shape or form

also, finding a set of OEM 19s isn't an easy task. i think the best way to get a good set is to get some shipped over from the USA. you could get a good set with new tyres shipped for around 2k - 2.5k which is cheaper than buying from japan or locally in many instances

I've been checking the various forums incessantly.. can't find any locally unfortunately. Still likely cheaper from the USA due to volumes. Don't any of you go stealing my wheels!

I suppose my 2003 6MT doesn't have an interface for the Tyre Pressure Sensors?

Any ideas what a set of stock 18" rims is worth locally?

Well funny that.. you have the OEM 18s and want the 19s, I have the OEM 19s and want the 18s, only problem is, I dont want to sell my 19s :ninja: too bad ur in Melbourne too as I can't find any OEM 18s anwhere either.

Best thing about using OEM wheels is that it sits perfectly on the hubring without requiring the use of a plastic centric hubring locator

Ha! Come on, you know you want them!

Does anyone know if I can use the Tyre Pressure Sensors on my 2003 coupe or is it only an option from 2004 onwards?

Nismo (and all those who are interested),

I found out at the last minute that the tyres were completely unroadworthy (thought they'd be ok for a few weeks) so I had to put on a set of brand new Hankook K104s (225/45 front, 245/45 back) to last me until the new wheels arrive.

I was originally going to sell the rims without useful tyres, but if you are still interested in paying a fair price with 99% tyres, then the answer is definitely yes.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
