Ok I see your car is white....well I reckon you should dice those 2 you selected and go stealth.

Try the apache wheels from TRYDIS' suggested website...www.stgeorgetyres.com.au

I did a kwik 2 minute cut and paste for ya...wheel angles aren't right but it gives you a good indication anyway.

The gold version aint bad either!!

Drifters use so many different types of wheels on their cars, how can you classify a single style of wheel as being 'drift style'? Just like the 'drift wing'? Whatever....

For what it's worth, although the mesh would be harder to clean as has already been mentioned, they do look classier. Just promise that the offsets are suitable for RWD cars... :happy:

I dig those.

just out of general interest, what colour rims do you guys think would suit a gunmetal grey R33?

I was leaning towards some charcoal or black rims with polished lip?

yeah im gunna go with the m190s

they have a big dish on em 2 so i think it will look hot as, i was thinkin of goin gold but the only ones i like are the speedy one with the gold centre and crhome lip, but because of the way they are made the rear brakes wont fit in 18s so id have to get 19s and they are 550 just for a wheels each.

so fark that, but with gmax 190s, he has an over stock, so he'll do em heap as and he also sponsered me in last years auto salon with my astra SRI turbs, so i know him pritty well,

anyway thnks for your help guys

i just got a new set of wheels and tyres last week and need some advice.

235/40/R18 front

265/35/R18 rear

does it matter if the overall diameter of the front and rear tyres are different, i'm still on stock standard suspension. i'm worried that the difference in diameter will affect the drive and the height of the car.

cheers

From the tyre calculator: 235/40 goes best with 265/35 as there is minimal diameter difference. Not sure in other states but in QLD overall diameter difference must not be more than 15mm.

Speedo does go out but very minimally for the below combos.

Stock Tire - 225/45R17 >Search Tires Tire 1 - 235/40R18 >Search Tires Tire 2 - 265/35R18 >Search Tires

Rim Diameter: 17 in 431.8 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Overall Diameter: 24.97 in 634.23 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.40 in 645.16 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.30 in 642.62 mm

Actual Speed: 60 mph 100 km/h

Speedometer1: 58.9 mph 98.3 km/h

Speedometer1: 59.2 mph 98.7 km/h

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 1.722% too slow Speedometer Difference: 1.313% too slow

Diameter Difference: - Diameter Difference: 1.7% Diameter Difference: 1.31%

It dosen't really matter on a rear wheel only drive car but it does depend moreso on the series of tyre you are using on the rear in comparison to what you had on the car before you got the 18s.

I first had 255/45/17 on the rears of the car then I went to 245/35/19 and it was the worst mistake I ever made plus the speedo was about 4-6 km/h out.

Now I've gone back to 17s and the ride is much better once again.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
