Hey guys

some of you saw my car at the meetup, just posting a few pics of the new rims on the car

19 x 9.5 +17 - 265/30/19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

19 x 10.5 +17 - 295/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2

imo the right size 19" rim doesnt actually look small on the v35.

i also have Nagisa Auto Rear Camber, Rear Toe, and Front Camber arms in order to make the rims fit.

Running -2.5 Degrees Camber all round.

I also installed some HKS Kansai sway bars too. They make a MASSIVE difference to the body roll and handling of the car. A must have first mod for Everyone!

Car has been lowered, it is sitting on TEIN Comfort Sport Coilovers. I think they are at the max it can go in terms of height adjustment. This made the biggest difference to the look of the car, as a low V35 looks AWESOME!

one thing i planned for, is that i currently have 10mm hubcentric slip on spacers on order, so that i can bring the front rims out, bringing the offset of the front to +7. I would of ordered them in +7, but RAYS dont make them in that offset. Its +17 then +4...... big jump.

only 2 pics i have. enjoy.

Is -2.5 degree a bit too much for daily driving ? I had my R33 previously set to around this, as I took it to track once in a while, and it wears out the inside half of the tyres real fast... as it's driven more on the street basically daily.

hey guys thanks for the replies.

ive seen some V35's with 20" and in some photos it just looks too big. i reckon the best fitment would be 20" Rear and 19" front but then i dont know what that would look like.

-2.5 degree camber is alot, but all i do is going to get the tyres swapped around every 10,000kms or so, so that they will wear a bit more evenly. making the car look good comes at a price unfortunately.

PS. i also had to roll the rear guards as well to get that offset rim under the car

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
