what mags r those - look good

Cheers Grimi. The rims are Advanti Stage in a 17"x9".

I got them from option1garage in brisbane about 3-4 year ago now. They ordered me the right offset and centres are machined which i haven't seen before.

Is there any rubbing inside the wheel arches? Im also looking at doing this to my arx.

It only touches the metal guard when I hit a hard bump. No problems going up driveways or when cornering

-oliveR that looks really nice man, good fitment, but what was the reason for different profiles and width if you don't mind sharing? RWD I'm guessing also?

The GTR they came off is AWD so Nissan will have figured out the right width and profile to make bigger rears than fronts work with the Attessa.

Front rotors - DBA2314S

Rear rotors - DBA2315S

Front pads - D1060-1EA01

Rear pads - D4060-1EA01

Rotors purchased through GSL/Brakes Direct and pads from the US (conversion inc shipping was cheaper than the shelf price in Japan oddly)

Dunno why the interest in pics, but here you go Josh.

A pic of a dirty wheel in a poorly lit garage :P

Thought you may have a side by side comparison to the oem brakes

Nah, the T2's are quite nice and I won't be going back to OEM, that's for sure.

Pads are quiet, bitey and are seemingly dust-free (so far).

People still use IE, Bob??? That right there could be just the start of your issues...

I found and fixed the melted vacuum hose that was giving me unlimited boost.

I'm in 2 minds about the change....there was a certain fun to running ???kw@30psi instead of 260@18psi. It sure went wooooosh.

Put this badboy in, 10 years not knowing what the turbo is doing, now i know

Goes way higher than I thought it would, sometimes upto 12-13

no mods to up the boost, just highflow turbo from hypergear, fmic, 3" all the way thru.

R35 GTR seats going in today / tomorrow (will provide as much info as i can about the process)

Also getting the Aero front bar fitted this week.

Next i'll be moving onto making a decision re: what wheels i'd like to see on the wagon.

I'm very partial to SSR SP1 / Work Meister's with my only real concern being a daily driver which i park on occasion at my local train station is theift / damage. I might see if i can find something in that similar style which can be eaily replaced incase of damage but i have a feeling i'll just end up with the real mccoy. Would love a set of polished lip / white spoke SSR's. /drool

Got it back on the road. :wub:

There was nothing wrong with it, our shed had started leaking so I had to store some stuff in it as the house was already full of junk. So it held a 12in sliding compound mitre saw and stand, medium-sized tool box, cardboard box full of hand tools, 18v drill, angle grinder, jigsaw, socket sets, assorted boxes of fixings like nails and metal straps (I'm building a deck, 2 sheds, a greenhouse, a fence and a pergola at the mo), a pile of random polystyrene blocks, A CUDDLY TOOOOOY!!...a whole stack of flattened cardboard boxes, a tensioner assembly and serpentine belt for the Commodore, a lawn chair, a pile of magazines (official journal of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants - riveting read, assorted volumes, offers), a pile of newspapers, a hedge trimmer attachment for a weed eater and various plastic bags of crap I cbf looking at.

And now it's back on the school run. :(

Just picked up the M35 and first impressions...

Seating height is much better imo which was the main inspiration for the seat swap. I'll get a few pics once the sun comes out.

The aero front bar is also awesome however one of the driving lights needs a new globe :(

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
