Hey Mike. That's what made me ask since I saw that you signed up. Maybe I'll see you there.

Brandon,

I have 275/35 t1s on there, 10.5 rim. That is what came on the car. I am going to 315 next .... just because I think it looks better on there

315's are way too big for that rim (unless you were kidding). my roommate has 305's on an 11 inch rim, and the sidewalls sit flat. you will be ballooning over the sides. don't be retarted, it will look stupid, and give you understeer!!! i would go 295.

what are you trying to prove? whether you have 275's or 315's, we all still think you have a small *****.

the z32 was the previous model (300zx), so it is simply Nissan's number progression. i think it should be the Z35, to symbolize the engine size like BMW does.

Won't you rub with 295's? Besides, understeer is a concern also like the last guy said. What do you all think of 285/30 Falken GRBs? Does Toyo make 285/30s?

Thanks for the sarcastic reply there Jim.

It's all in the offests and the drop. 295s will not rub if done properly. Karmamag has them on his car w/ my wheels.
315s do not rub on +21 10.5" wide Winnings w/ eibachs. MRJDMZ33 has em.


Understeer can be tamed with larger front tires .. I already have 255s up front .. larger than most .. and can fit a 275 if need be.

I wont .. but I could

On the subject of two SCs on the Modena If I am correct the Modena has seperate intake manifolds for each bank. If thats the case then yes two SCs coudl be used only because the intake air is not merged. On our car it would do zero since all of the intake air is flowed to all cylinders more or less equally

Nice! I like that. I might go with the HIROs if I could fit 295's in the back. What do you guys think? HIROs or MODs?

Kiet/Keit/Kit has a set of 20" Axxis Mod7s for sale I believe. I like them better than Hiros, personally.

Me too. I just don't like how you can't upgrade to big reds in the future. Oh well, the MODs are for show, so really the big reds won't be too big of a deal. Kit has the chrome ones right? Do you know how much he's parting them for?

you are correct about the dual bank intake manifolds on the 360 modenda (they are also red wrinkle finish, if tha makes any difference). i saw the dual supercharged one at SEMA. it was done by novitec.


jim- the tires on that picture of the red Z look awesome. it is hard for me to believe that they are 315's, though, looking at the way they sit. they look like 285's or 295's.

Nice yeah i didn't see that at SEMA but I was pretty sure they had seperate intake manifolds and that would be the only reason to run dual SCs anyways. HOWEVER something that has always intrigued me that I would love to take for drive only if done right would be a sequential turbo setup. I've heard of Supra doing like a GT25 or GT28 feeding a T66 or bigger. That must be f@cking ridiculous to ride in.

No idea i have close to zero interest in European cars so I would be the last person to ask. I believe some of the REWS 13B RX-7s used to use a sequential turbo system.
