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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
