hey guys, i was deciding where to go with wheels on the m35 when it lands...

atm its got skyline wheels on it 18's

post-22208-1277013187_thumb.jpg

post up pics of what wheels you like on m35's or what wheel you HAVE put on your m35!

also, because its awd. does it mean i have to run the same rim size and width's all round?

Edited by bLaQ.bOi

Regarding width, yes. Rolling diameter seems to be very critical, not the 2-3% variation that other attessa equipped vehicles seem to allow.

If you're looking for a new home for those 18's when you find replacements, let me know, I'm after a set of those.

BTW, the car looks great, you must be busting to get your hands on it!

Cheers, Dale

yep ill definatly be selling them

if i decide to keep the car, or sell it and go after one with a sunroof like i wanted. im not sure

if i decide to keep it, it will be getting a respray asap. ill keep the colour on the low atm still trying to decide!

so need to run the same wheels. that sucks lol

anyone got any pics of thee cars with gangster meshies on them haha

vxss?

I'm sure there's a fella on here for NZ, coincidentally White with the Nismo kit, had 19x10 or 19x11 mesh of some sort, with seriously pulled wheelarches and very low. Maybe someone else can remember, his looked very tough indeed.

Yeah I reckon 19 - 20" for the M35, those arches are so big that they need some size!

To get a flush fit i used 19 x 8.5 +22 offset. these just fit under the guards without any rolling, and have plenty of clearance on the inside.

So you could definitely fit 9.5 +35 under the guards, but might be tight on the inside of the fronts. (there is loads of inside room on the rears) but I wouldnt recommend staggered on the M35

Here is how the 8.5 +22 offset fit.

That looks awesome dude! Love the wheels, that's how I'd like mine to look.

Can I ask what size your tyres are? Is that with standard ride height as well?

Cheers.

Thanks mate :rolleyes:

Tyres are 225/40 19 Which is still a bit small from what I recall, so my speedo is off by a couple of %

It is a fair bit lower than standard, I have Tanabe adj. coilovers in there, so its probable about 2" lower than standard in those pics, but it sits a little lower now as the new springs have settled in.

Here is a shot of the front height (sorry its a crap phone pic I already had) - rear is the same.

They are sweet wheels! I had them on my C34 stagea. Awesome quality and great price

Only downside with the 8.5" is they dont have the concave spokes pulling in. Make sure you get the +20 offset (they come in +35 or +20)

I reckon the 9.5" +45 with a 10mm spacer would be sweet in the ARX that way you get some more dish and pull on the spokes. They are super aggressive and should just fit!

here is a pic of the 18x8.5" on my C34

yeh I need dish.......don't really want spacers on it though....need the wheels to fit under without scrubbing at the height it is atm.....want to be able to get on the track very soon!

Who is that Axis range available through in Australia?

From what I understand there is no distributor here in Aus.

I think Tempe Tyres brought a few containers in though a while back, so maybe try them to see if they have anything left. Late last year they had a handful of 19x 9.5 +45 in stock...

Jetwreck: I fricken hate spacers as well. get the right tool for the job!

speaking of which - has your nismo ECU arrived?

And on that topic, ecu's, has anyone spoken to Toshi on here regarding a re-map, I know he does the other Nissan ecu's and he's very good.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • 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.
