Hi guys, I'm very new to forums so hope I've done this right. 

It seems it's easier to buy a house than find mags for a 2003 Nissan Skyline 350 GT. I went to bob jane T mart and asked for mags for the car, he said he would ring around and email me. When I got the email all it had was a list of bunch of wheel manufacturers......I've already done that by myself. The I went to another place and it seemed to be too hard for them too!

I live in Queensland west side. What I'm looking for is either 17" or 18" mags with a gold centre and machined lips. They need to be legal in Queensland with the correct offset. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's your budget for wheels? (don't forget money for tyres too)

Do the wheels need to be brand new?
Are you looking for local wheels from Bob Jane or would you prefer some nicer Japanese wheels? 1piece, 2-3 piece?

Look up the websites of the Brands you were given and find which ones suit what you're after.
We can help find you wheels, but need a bit more to work with.

I'm looking around $1500 to $2000 max. Guess I would need tyres in that also unless I can get the stock size rimes as the tyres are fine on the car atm. I love the Hotwire style, the photo is from Performance Wheels I think! see if pic comes up.

There are a TON of different things you need to decide before buying wheels. The fact that you want to keep them legal is very limiting, as most wheels are wider width and offset than stock, in order to fill out the guards properly. IMHO, aftermarket wheels in offsets similar to the stock V35 wheels will look pretty awful on the car, as they will sit a heap inside the guards. PLEASE don't buy Bob Jane or any other crappy Australian brand wheels on your V35!

 

Here is a great resource with pictures, explaining widths and offsets :

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
