After all my dramas with my Varianza T1S, i ordered another set of Work's - this time going for something a little classier / less sporty.

This time i opted for:

Work Gnosis GS-5's

Centers finished in satin matte silver

Dish is stepped and finished in machined satin (which has an interesting ripple texture).

20X9.5 +15 BIG BRAKE R-DISK FRONT

20x10.5 + 23 DEEP TIME O-DISK REAR

I would NOT recommend this offset unless you are planning on running it LOW, or have BAGS.... the wheels stick out around 3cm from the guards at standard driving ride height

These photos were taken with my iphone and are just a trial fitment, as there is a bit of guard work i need to do to actually drive on them!

...and here is how they sit at the airbag "high" setting... it's amazing the difference in camber based on rideheight!

should sit around an inch lower once i am done too.. the height in the above photos was as low as it could go without guard work, but by sunday i hope to have it sitting on the bump stops like it does with the standard wheels.

Nice wheels......

with 20's are you able to drive without having to alter suspension?

I think i have seen your car 2 weekends ago on Olsen Ave........? i dont think there are anyother v36 on the Gold Coast besides yours and mine. I have a white one 08 S manual, is your man?

Badges i got from riverside infiniti in california (just go to their ebay.com store)

20's drive fine with standard suspension, though i have changed my springs to airbags.

Mine is a Semi-Auto... didn't really want a manual for my daily..!

driving it slammed the lowest point is around 12mm from the ground so it's not really possible : i have modified the inner guard lining enough so it rolls without scrubbing, but that said you can only get about 20 degrees turning circle, and the chassis even hits the cats eyes on the road, so it's stupid really...

my drive height is around an inch higher than that, and rides like factory.

Hey Guys, I have 22s on mine not lowered, still looks sweet rides ruff though. I am wondering if you still have your original 19s? if so would you be interested in selling them. I want to go back to stock and made a huge mistake of trading them in when I got the 22s. If you wish I would even be interested in trading the 22s for you originals. I spent the cash and got Perelli P zeros tyres as well.

Hope we can come to some sort of deal.

damn...hustlin! two two twenty twooooos!

does it actually hit the inner guards when you go over speed bumps or turn?

No rubbing at all its sweet, Just want the 19s cause they ride nicer if you want im keen to sell them. I have only had them since March and I have been over seas since April. The tread is Pirelli PZero, just want those 19s dam it.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
