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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
