"it comes standard with nismo electronic suspension" I don't think so... Nismo; yes, electronic; no.

Anyway some pics of "boostedaxis" Stagea on 22"x 9.5s

They have monstrous arches, but 22's are going a bit far, and bottoming out on speed humps is hardly a problem I'd be trying to solve with wheels...

to the dickhead with the faggotory chart.. ur so funny man. i wish i was as funny as u. after seeing the snap shots of the m35 with 22's i hav decided against them. yes it is definatly bottoming out as it is my wifes run around taking kids to and from school and yes everyday it goes over 6 speedhumps with kids and bags in the car. i know when a car is bottoming out and as 4 the dick with the chart u only put it up cos ur shitbox cn only fit 18's. anyone who cn fit big wheels would if they cn afford em..

lol, no, rims bigger than 18" look like aids on 99% of import japanese car's. i can prove this with science.

also why dont you do a lil research into why race cars dont't run 22's. I'm pretty sure the ferrari F1 team could afford some chrome 22" full face dolce's with custom penis graphics, yet strangely they dont...

if i wanted the world to think i was a raging homo then i'd go right ahead and smack on some bob jane special 22's, but i think i might just stick to my light weight, single piece, forged, custom ordered, japanese rims. :thumbsup:

also if you would like to be as funny as me, just use ms paint, it only took me about 5 mins to make the graph, 3 minutes of which was deciding who should be the baseline for straight. Having just watched deathwish, Charles bronson was really the obvious choice. :cheers:

one day i hope to afford one and ill put 80" rims on it to show off my riches.

ps. my watch probably cost more than your 20s.

<3 ya hamish!

Actually mate, it is funny.

I could afford any set of wheels I pretty much wanted bud, in fact, one of my engines could buy your whole car.....

I run 16's and 17's because thats what most race tyres are made for.

20 inch + are for homos, unless you own an R35

:thanks:

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
