Are Wheels Too Wide For V35?

Should have checked that before you bought them! Have a read in the suspension section - there is a heap of info. Also Google "what is offset" and "how to measure offset".

Personally I would think the diameter is too much - 20in wheels dictate that you have extremely low profile tyres which will detract from ride comfort and give little protection to the rims.

Also you need 255 on the front and 285 on the rears - and when you find out what they are going to cost please do the decent thing and sell the rims and buy some better suited ones rather than buy cheap and nasty tyres that are too small and stretch them on like some do.

Ended up buying them. 245 and 275 for a stretched look. was gonna get a 245 and 285 but then I thought maybe stretched look would look better. Also ended up getting reasonable tyres I think. Falken 452? But enough said on the stretched tyres, theres zero protection on the lip of my rim therefore if I were to hit a curb, the rims will be the first to be impacted. :( But I would change the rear to 285 next time when its due for a change. 245 for the front is pretty alright. It doesnt look too stretched. The tyre shop people recommended me with 275 for the rears as well because they said its a more common tyre and the stretched look would look good. Think it looks pretty alright. Just worried about my rims and my driving now. Haha. Gotta be extra careful. :)

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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.
