I'm looking at buying a set of WORKS S1 rims 19" x 12.5 for the M35. What offset do they need to be and are they fine for a brake upgrade? Also is there a straight fit DBA slotted rotor swap available.

Sorry to ask once again but the brake section is out of control.

Cheers.

Stripey: Yep. I reckon 19's are the way to go... 19x9.5... Not my car, so if you are the owner, tell me if you want this image removed (although I found it on this site!)

19x12.5? :D Any offset you like, not going to fit under the guards anyway...

The widest confirmed (non ridiculous) fitment in a 19" is around 9.5" wide, at +35 offset. No guard rolling or clearance issues.

Brake discs are 350z touring (non brembo). RDA's are probably better value for money, approx $350 front slotted, $250 rear slotted, retail. You should be able to go ceaper than that if you look around.

Ok. I only stated that rim size because the site said that's the size available in the 19" riim so I guess those aren't gonna fit.

I probably should have just asked what the M35 standard off set was.

Cheers for the reply.

+40... I think...? Anyone confirm?

I think Keir prob has about the biggest I know :D - 19x9.5 +30's

Stock 17x7" is +45, ARX 18x8" is +40. In an 8" they need at least +30 offset, even +25 offset would go fine without clearance issues.

Just need to allow for caliper clearance for further down the track if you're going to upgrade.

My bad, I thought his were +35 :) .

yup you made me think about it also.. +30 offset for mine on 9.5's x 19

with about a fingers clearance from the strut tower. no scrub on 245s all round either (at full lock which is cool) but the front if i bottom out hard enough will hit the gaurds so they'll probably need a slight roll (they just sit out by about 5mm)

not that its ever bottomed out yet.. just a concern on tyres worth more than my r33. :)

Oh, and just incase you haven't found it yet, everyone is pretty much in consensus that you can't run staggered wheels, because it screws with the AWD system.

(sneaky little point, since your a series 2 M35, you can pull the fuse, make it RWD, and run staggered rims, but only in RWD mode...)

Does the axis have flared guards or is that just body kit to make them look like they are flared. I'm talking about the AWD series 2 model, similar guards to the AR-X.

you can pull a plug on the series 1 too.. have had it done for over 8 months now.. so much better to drive with stock power..

i run 18x10+20 on my m35 at the moment. the front only slightly stick out the guards. but it does need to be a little lower.. the rears is only a touch out of guards and look fine..

this is a non arx m35..

i can get good prices for rda and dba brake rotors.. i havent priced up the dbas yet however but my friend moves alot thru his store and gets good prices.

Interesting angus..

Im sure i read in another thread somewhere that it was possible with series 1 m35's for the fuse trick but it ended up having a detrimental effect on the attessa and the hicas on arx's eventually regardless? or something? anyone verify that ?

Excellent, I will be calling on you come time to get the brakes done.

Still might go for 18's as it may be a safer option once the car has two kids, wife and dog plus luggage in the back.

Not really interested in the Staggered Rims and AWD. Maybe if I had bought the Axis S. ;):bunny:

Interesting to note:

Axis Autech runs a 225/45/18 tyre which gives an approximate rolling diameter of 660mm (assuming no weight on the tyre though)

I've been told you can run a commodore tyre which is 235/40/R18 (which should be cheaper) but the dia is smaller at 654mm

Anyone know what an RS Four runs from factory?

Is it a 215/55/17? (giving a diameter of 668mm)

215/55/17 is correct.

On my 18s I run 245/45/18, this takes the factory 9% speedo error to about 3%, fills the guards a bit better, and rides better than 225/45/18. It's also std rubber for VE commodore 18's, so well priced too.

Hmmm. Interesting. Got any photos Dale?

245 is a wide tyre! (well for me anyway)

On about pg 34-36 of the "What have you done to your Stagea" thread, or I'll put some up tomorrow for you.

Rubber sits basically flush with the rim edge. I reckon your AXIS rims would look tough then, mine do.

So I guess these aren't gonna fit either.

Bummer. I know it's an M35 but I just like the look of a race wheel.

Agreed, they are a beautiful wheel, especially in that width/offset. You'd be doing some pretty serious guard pulling to get them under, and I'd say you'd need to stretch a 245 or something to make it work.

Probably better to keep looking for a less aggressive offset...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
