370Z Wheels on an R32 GTS-T

Hi All,

Im looking at new wheel options for the 32 GTS-T,

i stumbled across this picture, and wondered if anyone had put them on a 32 before.

the specs of the wheels are as follows,

Front: 18 X 8 +43

Rear: 18 X 9J +15

For the wheels to be flush with guards will i have to run spacers?

Um..... You might need a small spacer to make the front ones run fully flush.  But that's not the problem.  Look at the rear fitment on that R33.  R33s happily take larger wheels than R32s do, and the wheels in the photo are hanging out of the guards already.  They won't fit an R32.  9" wide with +15mm offset is very pokey on a 32.  So you'd need negative spacers.

well i'm currently running:-

17 x 9 ET17 on the front with a 20mm spacer

17 x 10 ET15 on the back

so surely if i go an inch narrower on the back with the same offset the wheel will sit 1 inch further into the guards wont it? - i think i've just answered my own question there...

 

My guards have been flared slightly and my car is currently sanded down in preparation for a respray so if i have to pull them a bit more then now is the perfect time to do it.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
