Close to buying a 370gt. Deciding whether i should stick to the base 18" wheels or go the Type S 19", price difference being about $1500 overall for the car.

Just want to know how much firmer of a ride is the 19".

I have the 350GT and drove it with 18, 19, 20. I like the look of 20 the best but the feel of 19 the best. Go 19, doesn't affect firmness much at all and is so comfortable.

my 35 is on 20's with coilovers and its still a "comfortable" ride.

little bit firmer, but i wouldnt complain with what im running.

Would be interested in finding out how good the ride is with coilovers, i think the only way to go if your going over 19"s

i've just gone from 18 to 19 and all i can say is it's firmer but not harsh at all.i think the lower profile sidewall has less flex so cornering feels much better on 19

I agree with Roy.

1. With 18 inch, it's the closest to stock ride quality.

2. With 19 inch, it's firmer. You can still feel the abit harsher ride, but can still live with day-to-day driving.

3. With 20 inch, the car will need lowering to avoid a 4WD look, together with camber kits and spending more on tires.

Good luck.

19s all the way. The 19s on the 370GT look way better for starters. On my old V35 I had stock 18s on 45/18 rubber and I was initially suprised at how comfortable the ride was. My new V35 being a series 2 has the stock 19s on 40/19 rubber and to be honest I haven't felt all that much of a difference in ride comfort. The 19s look way better too IMO.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
