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!

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
