Looks nice Dale :(

What offset are they? 18 x 8 (?) x ??

And are you using any spacers?

They look great Dale. The V35 wheels are a great patten..

Cheers

andy

Thanks Andy, these are what I've wanted since I first bought the car! Really happy with the way they came up :) . I was going to re-do the shadow chrome, until I found out the price! :D So just went 2pak in the end. I think they look a little bit R35 GTR (about as close as I'm ever gonna get, anyway)!

Cam, +30 offset, and yes 18x8. No spacers, wanted to stay away from them on this car.

I think my 245/45/18 rubber makes 'em look a bit wider, but I'm super happy with the look, offset is just right, even my missus likes 'em :) !

They look incredible, Dale. They suit the M35 really well!

I wish I'd held out and got mine repainted before putting them on my car, but I was just too excited about having them. Mine have marks as if a previous owner has tried to clean them and left whatever they'd used on for too long, so there are some streaks in the finish. :(

I sold my old wheels almost straight away too, so I don't have a spare set to roll around on if I do want these ones done at a future date, unless I borrow a set.

That's the same reason I painted these, looks like the finish has been stripped, that and a bit of gutter rash. I think the shadow chrome finish is a bit susceptible to damage. It costs about $220 a litre for the paint, and I was quoted $250 per wheel to apply, as it is a 4-5 step process.

Nick, I have a set of ugly ass stockers if you need some rims :thumbsup: .

Did the rocker cover seal today in the M35.. what a bloody mission.. a lot of F's and C's were mentioned, and while in the middle of the job realised the rear spark plug cylinder was full of oil, had to manufacture a seal for that so hope it is good enough to last a while...

Now just have to find some stiffer springs and wait for next weekend, to change them and do diff and trans fluids...

slowly but surely getting the car to be the way i like it....

How did you make the seal? I need to do mine too...

DIRKO!!! ;):) it should be ok but.. i cant see it being any worse.. When i ordered the rocker cover seal from nissan they asked me if i wanted the spark plug seals, silly me said no, so you can get them i just said no. To me they look identical size to the VQ35DE ones so maybe they fit?? can anyone confirm..

by looking thats what i would have thought, but nissan asked me if i wanted them. maybe the whole cover gets changed as it only seems to be a plastic composite material..

Yep, and they go for over 200 each. Im sure I can get something to work but I need a replacement "in case".

The VQ30det has alloy covers but I have no idea if they fit.

After fitting the new V35 rims, due to the extra +10mm offset, my car was looking a bit 4wd.

Been contemplating going a bit lower for a while now, but as the car is driven by my missus, and does fairly regular duty, I like that it does carparks fairly easily, and I don't have to think too much when doing driveways etc. End result, as I have adjustable coilovers, dropped ride height by 8mm all round, not very exciting I know.

The difference is astonishing! Has tucked the tyres up, juuust enough to get rid of the 4wdness, but hardly makes any difference on road.

Pics later.

fitted 235/40-18 Pirelli Pzero Corsa ($150ea) tyres onto Ox_Wheels 18x8.5"+35 mags ($200ea) - ebay purchases

installed r32 gtr front and rear calipers, which I rebuilt & spray-painted blue, braided lines with Qfm A1rm pads all round

r32 gtr discs at the rear, and up front 350z track rotors (324x30mm) with CZP Front Brake Caliper Bracket http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/de...6118.210.27.105

bled the brakes easily myself with speed bleeders installed into the calipers. threw the new mags on - snapped a stud, redid front brake to find space to restud :rofl:

bedded in the track brake pads, washed the car and took a quick phone photo just as it got dark. better pics later.

these tyres are amazing, best car tyres Ive ever experienced; wont last too long being track based (tread wear: 60!)

never had 18"s before but so far very impressed with the fitment, look and ride quality. smooth

Took the stagea into work today and fitted some QFM Hpx pads front and rear.

Machined up the front and rear rotors and rotated all the tyres.

First impressions are pretty good, pads seem alot more solid, and the car stops heaps better. plus there is

more annoying brake pulsation.

Finally got mine back on the road.

Injectors clean and service

Diff oil change

Wabro Fuel pump

fuel filter

Suction pipe........f**k me it brings the turbo on....not earlier....just a lot harder :D

Oil + filter

Spark plugs

Rear pad's

And just when I thought I could stop spending and relax

I had a slight prob with the car not idling(tah Scott)....fixed it with a tin can :D....for the moment

Still maxing out my injectors and the AFM is up 4.99v....I have now also found boost cut :(.....lucky for me I bought an E-manage on Sunday....just need to find cash for injectors and tune now.....there cannot be anymore in the engine bay to do surely!!!!

Hi Robbie,

Mate best thing to look at is BRAKE STOPPER make`s a big difference ,Stop that firewall flexing .

Slotted rotor`s by far best way to go on front rotor`s i had mine ground & had same thing so dumped them ,

nah its all good. when i got them machined the other day, i sent them out, cause i'm lazy.but i remachined them myself on the brake lathe at work last night. only needed a light skim and they came up a treat.

when they fianally get undersize i'll get some slotted Dixcel rotors. but untill then i'll enjoy the qfm pads, they really have decent bite for a street pad.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
