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.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
