i know everyone here was gunning for works, and i do like works. in fact these are the ones that i was looking at:

work_vs-rs.jpg

but honestly, i have to say i am feeling the vossens more. they suit the look i am after, especially with the infiniti badging (that american/japanese vip style). i originally wanted dish, but now i'm a bit over it. i'm going to bring the concave look back!

..thoughts?

ok, i need some help with the offsets guys. the fronts will be 9" and the rears will be 10.5". i am looking for an aggressive stance. something like what the g37 coupe has above. any experience with what offsets i need to run with these widths? from what i read in myg37.com, this car is running +27 (FR) and +39 (RR):

Love those wheels!!!

Who sells them in Aus???

What sort of dollars are they?

a bit hard to find in aus. when i contact vossen in usa, they directed me to a distributor in nz. luckily i found tyrepower in hawthorn who stock vossens (and work, rays, etc). nice guys who are more like car geeks than people running a business :P

Niiice! Will easily fit, tire shop here test fitted 22x9s on my M35 with plenty of clearence. (Not lowered though)

As for offset, i'm running +20 on a 18x9.5, with a 235/45/18 tire, and they stick out of the guards, which is why im running a stretched tire (illegal to have tread out of guard), so you'll probably wana run +30 depending on tire size.

Also, any reason you wana run different size front/rear? Pain in in the ass and expensive, as you can't rotate tires..

Don't have a choice.. Skylines run a staggered set up. Google tells me that I will mess up the drive system if I don't keep this. Also I want the width for the concave in the back.

Hmm weird. I know running different size wheels/tires messes with 4WD, which is why GTRs are all same wheel size... Why would V35 be any diff?

the rims finally rocked up to our shores (from the us) and i picked then up a couple of weeks ago. thought i'd post up some picks. be kind, im a bit of a noob with photography.

next on the list, some coilovers and rear camber arms.

big <3 to hawthorn tyrepower.

woahh!!! awesome vossens! love the concave look

do you get any scrapings against ur fenders or did u already cut and scrape them back?

looking at a v36 coupe myself and the vossens is defintely on my list to get

No issues at all. Clears on all sides without any mods at all. Not even a rougher ride like I was expecting.

Just need to improve the stance a bit.

I think the coupes clear even better than the sedans so you should be right.

Cheers

thanks for that, you mind me asking how mcuh you pay for them rims?

btw quick question the v36's being so rare here, did anyone manage to test drive one before they brought or did they jsut jump striaght in and got it imported?

No need to test drive, they are an awesome motor car!! :D

Yea I have to agree. It's an awesome car. No need to test drive - I didn't. All you need is to be impressed with the spec sheet and photos, coz you won't be dissappointed when you get the actual car. It's basically a 335i with Lexus looks at half the price.

does anyone know if the suspensions on the coupe type P and S are the same?

i know the P's come with 18" stock and the S with 19" stock

Wow I had no idea someone else had a black V36 in Victoria, thought I was the only one! Looks nice BTW.

Agree with what you've said too, looked at a BMW 335 and laughed at the price, not worth it. It does handle better and is marginally quicker too, but not worth double the price tag IMO. Especially when you compare what they pay in the US for an Infiniti and BMW, which are only $3,000 apart, not the $30,000+ extra that you pay here.

I test drove a V36 and my mind was made up immediately, even drove all the way from Melbourne to Sydney (and back) to get it. What does that tell you? :D

Yeah, I got mine in may. Do you live in the south east? I've had people on other forums "spot" me around dandy, only it wasn't me. Haha. The only other black v36 sedan I've seen drove past me on princess highway at the westall road turn off. But that was months ago.

Yep, live in the south-east here (pretty close to Dandenong as well). Thing is I've only had the car for around 2 months now, so not sure if it's me you're seeing?

Probably seeing me out towards Narre Warren/Berwick I take it? I'd rarely be in Dandy, unless I'm driving through!

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
