Yep, I'm pretty sure that was it says.

I was just bummed out that they took the 18's off and put the stock 17's on :)

May have been done in australia before or during compliancing.

Your would not have had the 18's, they were only fitted to the ARX and AXIS.

The RS/RX only ever had 17's fitted.

It was not the factory sticker, it was an dodgy little japanese tyre shop job above the factory sticker. I would say they had 18's fitted after, or maybe the 18's were a factory option and they upgraded to the ar-x wheels.

The factory RS was 17 you are correct, but I'm poining out that at some point it had 18's in 235 fitted... hmmmmm nice.

Now I've had a real good look at the sticker it would appear it was done aftermarket at some point in the cars japanese life before it immigrated :down:

If anyone wants to buy my V35 wheels, shoot me an email! :D

How much will you be lookiing at for them?

Any gutter rash?

I would be looking at a semi gloss respray in black so not too concerned about condition of paint, just overall condition of rim.

Let me know :P

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
