Close to buying a 370gt. Deciding whether i should stick to the base 18" wheels or go the Type S 19", price difference being about $1500 overall for the car.

Just want to know how much firmer of a ride is the 19".

I have the 350GT and drove it with 18, 19, 20. I like the look of 20 the best but the feel of 19 the best. Go 19, doesn't affect firmness much at all and is so comfortable.

my 35 is on 20's with coilovers and its still a "comfortable" ride.

little bit firmer, but i wouldnt complain with what im running.

Would be interested in finding out how good the ride is with coilovers, i think the only way to go if your going over 19"s

i've just gone from 18 to 19 and all i can say is it's firmer but not harsh at all.i think the lower profile sidewall has less flex so cornering feels much better on 19

I agree with Roy.

1. With 18 inch, it's the closest to stock ride quality.

2. With 19 inch, it's firmer. You can still feel the abit harsher ride, but can still live with day-to-day driving.

3. With 20 inch, the car will need lowering to avoid a 4WD look, together with camber kits and spending more on tires.

Good luck.

19s all the way. The 19s on the 370GT look way better for starters. On my old V35 I had stock 18s on 45/18 rubber and I was initially suprised at how comfortable the ride was. My new V35 being a series 2 has the stock 19s on 40/19 rubber and to be honest I haven't felt all that much of a difference in ride comfort. The 19s look way better too IMO.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
