define "jdm" look.

i was running -6 rear and -4 front 17x9 with 215 tires for awhile. got sick of pizza cutter tires, now im +10 17x9 with a 255 tire, all 4 fenders rolled.

youre not going to get the "jdm" look without rolling your fenders. people here do it for 40 bucks a fender with the rolling tool and a heat gun

Perfect look in my opinion

18x9.5 +15 all around ! Rear are rolled/flared, front are rolled only

That's not my car, but on mine I'll probably go with work XD9 in 17x9.5 +17

hey just a quick question,

im looking at 18 x 9.5 CR kais for my 33, in the pic are they 18 x 9.5 with +15 offset? CR kais come with a +12 offset so that means theyll stick out n extra 3mm is that right?

i dont wanna fork out thousands of $$$ and get it wrong lol

hope you can help, thanks heaps

If you haven't had your guards rolled, the offset on those rims must be very high...like +40 or higher at a guess...

my 9.5" +22's stuck out heaps on the rear

I'm running 18x9's with 265s on my R33 and have not had my guards rolled. I don't get any scraping either.

However my car isn't as low as a lot of 33's here seem to be but I'm not stock either.

Offset is key.

I'm running 18 9.5 +20 all round and have had the guards rolled, but it looks JDM.

Old pic, different front bar now.

lookin tuff!

bit lower perhaps? :)

auss13 - the offset is written on the inside of the rims :)

TYRE SIZES TO KEEP THE SAME ROLLING CIRCUMFERANCE AS THE 16" FACTORY TYRE'S ARE FRONT 225/45/17 AND THE REARS 255/40/17 17 X 8 + 25 front and 17 x 9 +35 rear. THAT WAY YOUR SPEEDO SHOWS THE CORRECT SPEED ALS OJUST ASK YOUR LOCAL TYRE SHOP TO MATCH THE 16" ROLLING CIRFUMFERANCE TO YOUR NEW TYRES THEN U WILL BE OK

:D

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
