I presume you are talking about the tyre profile... the answer is the same as any other car. Broadly speaking lower profile = better handling, higher profile = better ride. Its entirely up to you how much comfort you are prepared to sacrifice for ultimate cornering performance. For me that means 235/45 on 17 x 8 rims [i have a set of slicks for the track] but if you want 20in rims go for it!

at the moment mine sits about 20-25mm from the guard to tire, but id like it to sit right 10mm to right on it.

currently have Nismo S Tune suspension setup.

is quite good. good mix of ride comfort and sport, wouldnt say track ready though.

Agreed.. hence the "S" in S-tune = sport.

Nismo do not do an R-tune kit for the M35 but you can get stiffer springs if you feel you need it

Mine has bit more distance from tyre to arch due to a lower profile (235/40's).

A 45 profile tyre with a suspension kit that lowers an RS/RX around 25mm is perfect.

OK then it matters what kind of Stagea you have. Mine is a S1 C34 and ride height (as defined by Ryan above) is 340mm front and 350mm rear. "Slamming" it to the ground is usually a cosmetic choice as it gives you stuff all suspension travel and puts extra wear on driveline components.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
