Hey Guys,

I finally got a set of wheels for the M35... I got some Enkei GTC01 in 19x8.5 +22 Tyres are 225/40/19

The fitment is perfect! exactly what I was going for in terms of filling the guards. Check out the pics

Some of you may remember I tried running a staggered set a few months back but had attesa issues.... Well I have now bought a set of 4 matching wheels and tyres, and still have the attessa shifting torque to the front when it doesnt need to.

Has anyone had this issue with aftermarket wheels on the M35? I never had this problem on my C34 stagea. Any advice/ideas would be great.

In the mean time check all the pics below! Im loving them :) I now have loads of room for 350Z Brembos :bunny:

Ben.

I am so jealous. (the only way they could be any better was if they in dark gun metal and then they would be perfect for my silver ARX, LOL)

I have no idea about the ATESA issue. Are you getting any fault codes? Have you checked the fluid in the ATESA bottle?

Other wise not sure what it is.

Cheers

Andy

hmmm, that would look great on your car Andy (when?), although I don't think Ben could have picked a nicer wheel colour to compliment the dark blue.

(could use a bit of dish though :) )

Hate to ask Ben, but when does it put torque to the front wheels?

Any time its under heavy load. if you gently accelerate its no problem, but if you give it a little it puts torque through. And yes im quite sure its no where near breaking traction. If the standard wheels are on, it stops doing it...

looks great ben.......no idea on the problem you are talking about but I do remember our GTR doing the same thing years ago when we changed wheels.... unless you have errors coming up on your screen I would not worry about it.

should get your nuts painted same as ur car :down:

bit rude CL11QE!....not to mention the sanding back!!!....but whatever you into!!!

I drove a M35 that had the torque split gauges and the owner said if you give it a bit harder accelleration the power will move to front wheels and u can see it on the guage... maybe your problem is not really a problem. Any others notice this or does the torque split only happen when u break traction?

on hard acceleration

the gauge moves usually on atessa systems

Well when I put the standard wheels on, the only time the atessa comes on is when its breaking traction. There is a noticable difference on the guage between the two wheel sets.

Mind you... if there wasnt a guage I wouldnt think there is a problem. everything runs perfectly, no warning lights, or vibrations or anything!

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
