OK guys..2 questions:

1) Is it advisable to use same size rims on the front and rear for V36? I'm talking about same size and width of the rims.

2) Also, does reducing the width of the front tyres to offset the effect wider rims work?

I know that the best setup advisable is staggered rims setup but there's not much option available for that setup from where i came from :angry: ..and if possible..i want to install rims without messing up the car's VDC, ABS,TPMS (If possible) or whatever sensor it might affect.:/

What is the original wheels specifications?

1 thing I know for sure is if you stick close to the total rolling diameter of original wheels with your aftermarket one, the speedo won't be out that much. I wouldn't know about other sensors.

I have a NonSport V36 and just heard from a friend that NonSport version don't have Staggered Rim Setup as Sport. So i'm not sure if my rims are staggered or not now..i would at it later but for now..can someone confirm this? (Was confident my old V35 NonSport had staggered setup..:blink: ). If that is the case though, then i won't have problem installing same size rims all aroud right?

However, does that mean that the ECU/sensors settings for Sport and NonSport V36 are different in terms of rims setup? i mean...would a NonSport V36 get the same benefit as a Sport if Staggered Rim setup was used (apart from physical benefit of wider tyres)??. If not, is there anyway to reprogram my NonSport V for using Staggered Rim Setup?

As for the wheels im currently looking at now.. its a 20inch 9 (Front) and 10.5 (Rear).

Really? I didn't know about that.

I pretty sure all V35 coupes (Premium or non-premium) comes with staggered rims, but V35 sedans don't. I just thought it would be the same for V36 coupes and sedans.

Anyhow, have you checked your tyre placard? It will show your standard/correct wheel size and specifications.

Good luck.

personally I'd trawl the US myg37 forums in particular their wheel & tyre section of the forums as a lot of guys have experimented with different rim sizes & offsets, heaps of them have "hellaflush" 20's.

The factory 19" enkeis the sport model uses are something like 19X8.5F & 19X9 (from memory) so nothing drastic in the staggered setup anyway

20X9F & 20X10R should clear even the sport model brakes so as long as rolling diameter is within spec you shouldn't have too many dramas

as for question number 2 ask a tyre shop about running different sizes as they can calculate the differences, imo running a skinnier tyre on the front is only reducing your car's overall contact patch for minimal (if any) beneficial effect but again just my opinion

      I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.

      The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.

      Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
