mmmmm i want the black versions with the red lip ... if you know anyone here that has them for sale let me know ill grab them because i had the chance about 6 months ago to get them for 1,200 and i didnt and now i regret it.

Product Details: 18x9.5 Rota Torque - Hyper Black (E20)

Wheel Style - Torque

Wheel Diameter (Inches) - 18"

Wheel Width (Inches) - 9.5"

PCD Bolt Pattern - 5x114.3

Offset - +20mm

Hub Bore - 67.1mm

Color - Hyper Black

as you can see the offset is +20mm. The recommended offset is +22 so these will sit perfect on the 350gt / 350z. if you want to go even FATTER, i suggest putting 10mm spacers to bring them to a +12 offset but then you will need stretch tyres, your guards to be rolled, and finally some sort of camber arms to adjust the camber.

Thanx

The minimum legal offset you can have on a V35 is +17, so the offset advice that BLISTC gave you above fails your legality requirements.

The lowest offset for a 9.5" wide front rim that doesn't require camber arms (there's not much guard to be rolled in the front) is +22. You could probably get away with something lower with a suitably narrow tyre, but +22 is considered to be the "safe" limit. I run 9.5" +22 with a 255 width tyre on my Z33 and it doesn't scrub, when I'm cornering hard.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
