Hey mate,

No not yet. I'll be look at maybe next year for my setup. Leaning toward a set of LMGT4's atm. Was thinking of D1R but i just think the Nismo wheels look amazing. Just the price, but hey, you pay for quality. I think i'll be looking at just running GTR sizes/offset if i can find a set in that size. Most people seem to put the GTR wheels on without any issues, unless the car is really low.

LMGT4's are discontinued as well. That's also why they demand the price they do.

But you'll never have a problem re-selling them if you ever feel the need

Just for those who might come along later reading this as I did.

I just purchased Rota DPT's in 18x9.5 +22 .. They have 235/40R18 tyres on them so a little stretch and they clear fine (98 R34 GTT).

The front wheels appear to sit about 1.5-2cm out but the tyre fits the guards easily. The rears sit maybe 1cm if that out so tyre clearance is even better there.

Only suspension mod is King Springs. I rolled the rear guards in anticipation but definitely not needed :)

No rubbing at fulllock etc or when you hit a hump

Finally got myself a set of wheels! LMGT4's, 8.5/9.5 in 18". Now i'm just considering the tyre sizes.

Rears i'm pretty set on using a 255/35/18.

Fronts, i'm debating between a 225/40 or 235/40. Nismo recommends a 225, but most people say go for a 235.

Also, what's a good tyre to use? I keep seeing alot about Fed 595 SS's or KU31's. Also looking at Sumitomo HTR ZIII's.

I have LMGT4 8.5 and 9.5 too.

I went Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 on the front and 255/35 on the rear - handles amazingly :)


Best thing about this size is it nearly perfectly matches the factory sizes, so no issues with speedometer being out, etc.

Nope, not even close mate! They are spot on! I have run 275's on the back no problem too!

I am assuming your offset is similar than mine... You should be able to get plenty of cheap tyres...

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
