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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
