Okay so does anyone have 20" rims on their V36?

Can you give me an idea of the difference in ride quality vs say 18 or 19?

Recommended?

Wouldn't do it again?

Trying to decide...

If someone in Adelaide has 20's, how about taking me for a drive? :)

You've seen my car in the flesh Joolz, so you know that 20's fill those guards beautifully!

Drives well, no issues, I'm running low profile tires and I get a very comfortable ride (although I have Tanabe Sustec-Pro coilovers)... one thing... get used to (low amount) of road noise.

Aside from that... 20's are absolute WIN!

Couple of questions for you though:

  1. Did you do any work to your fenders?
  2. Did you need a camber kit?
  3. What are your rim/tyre specs?

Depends on the fitment you want. I had mine custom made from Koya to be flush and run with the guards of my car. Most of custom wheel shops will make them with offset to how you want the ride to sit.

Like for my Koyas I asked them to make them flush so they did all the measuring for me.

9.5 fronts with +30 offset

10.5 rears with +38 offset ( Deep Concave )

Those for my particular wheels gave me a very very flush fitment. A ruler would match up perfectly along my rims and guards :]

Plus most v owners will agree 20"s are the best look.

If anything I need to get bigger profile tyres to hide the gap better as my front is 30 super stretched haha and rear 35 super stretched XD Picture below is without lowering so getting maybe 40 profile front and and rear would hide the gap wayyy better.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
