hey guys, i was deciding where to go with wheels on the m35 when it lands...

atm its got skyline wheels on it 18's

post-22208-1277013187_thumb.jpg

post up pics of what wheels you like on m35's or what wheel you HAVE put on your m35!

also, because its awd. does it mean i have to run the same rim size and width's all round?

Edited by bLaQ.bOi

Regarding width, yes. Rolling diameter seems to be very critical, not the 2-3% variation that other attessa equipped vehicles seem to allow.

If you're looking for a new home for those 18's when you find replacements, let me know, I'm after a set of those.

BTW, the car looks great, you must be busting to get your hands on it!

Cheers, Dale

yep ill definatly be selling them

if i decide to keep the car, or sell it and go after one with a sunroof like i wanted. im not sure

if i decide to keep it, it will be getting a respray asap. ill keep the colour on the low atm still trying to decide!

so need to run the same wheels. that sucks lol

anyone got any pics of thee cars with gangster meshies on them haha

vxss?

I'm sure there's a fella on here for NZ, coincidentally White with the Nismo kit, had 19x10 or 19x11 mesh of some sort, with seriously pulled wheelarches and very low. Maybe someone else can remember, his looked very tough indeed.

Yeah I reckon 19 - 20" for the M35, those arches are so big that they need some size!

To get a flush fit i used 19 x 8.5 +22 offset. these just fit under the guards without any rolling, and have plenty of clearance on the inside.

So you could definitely fit 9.5 +35 under the guards, but might be tight on the inside of the fronts. (there is loads of inside room on the rears) but I wouldnt recommend staggered on the M35

Here is how the 8.5 +22 offset fit.

That looks awesome dude! Love the wheels, that's how I'd like mine to look.

Can I ask what size your tyres are? Is that with standard ride height as well?

Cheers.

Thanks mate :rolleyes:

Tyres are 225/40 19 Which is still a bit small from what I recall, so my speedo is off by a couple of %

It is a fair bit lower than standard, I have Tanabe adj. coilovers in there, so its probable about 2" lower than standard in those pics, but it sits a little lower now as the new springs have settled in.

Here is a shot of the front height (sorry its a crap phone pic I already had) - rear is the same.

I have these 19" x 8.5(see pic)....sorry about the tyre shine.

But looking at getting these!!....19" x 8.5

They are sweet wheels! I had them on my C34 stagea. Awesome quality and great price

Only downside with the 8.5" is they dont have the concave spokes pulling in. Make sure you get the +20 offset (they come in +35 or +20)

I reckon the 9.5" +45 with a 10mm spacer would be sweet in the ARX that way you get some more dish and pull on the spokes. They are super aggressive and should just fit!

here is a pic of the 18x8.5" on my C34

yeh I need dish.......don't really want spacers on it though....need the wheels to fit under without scrubbing at the height it is atm.....want to be able to get on the track very soon!

Who is that Axis range available through in Australia?

From what I understand there is no distributor here in Aus.

I think Tempe Tyres brought a few containers in though a while back, so maybe try them to see if they have anything left. Late last year they had a handful of 19x 9.5 +45 in stock...

Jetwreck: I fricken hate spacers as well. get the right tool for the job!

speaking of which - has your nismo ECU arrived?

And on that topic, ecu's, has anyone spoken to Toshi on here regarding a re-map, I know he does the other Nissan ecu's and he's very good.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
