You are indeed a scholar, Richard...

Yeah no call so far lol A bit like the guy I had who, before even contacting me, had put the broker's fee in my account, then got in touch and asked me to help him import his GT-R he already purchased in Japan. No worries I said, just send me all the info you have - turned out it was an R35....

All auto, but like the Laurel, manual conversions are pretty straightforward.

Nope RWD.

lol testicular fortitude indeed Shan...

Why do you think I only showed the pics without the links haha Panasports are currently half the price of the Meisters, of course...

Ok it works out nicely because the Meisters are up for auction before the Panasports, so I'll have a crack at them both.

I think you'll find they're SSR Professors, very similar design to Work Meister.

I just can't go at $1900 for 15x8s...

The ones you were showing me the other day?

Suck-up lol - you're just lucky none of us are moderators so we can't ban your arse....haha

Or you could just buy a Y34 Cedric for the same money (as the car in the original ad) and get it with the VQ30DET already fitted

Yes I'm chuckling a fair bit, I hope that boat hasn't left. Get him to contact me and we'll see how much money he stands to lose...

Have I told you lately that I love you? +1 on the f*ckheads.

Sorry, my humour was a bit obscure.... This should help...

I don't know many sets of Panasport F1s in Australia Maybe I'll get the Meisters, paint them black and get [NVMYCUBE] on the plates....

lol cheers. Looks like the Meisters are nudging ahead of Panasport...

I agree. The pics don't do them any favours but they're like a Watanabe-style rim - here's some 17s (but narrower than the ones I'm looking at) on a Jazz If I hadn't already gone with [RUBIK] for a number plate, that nearly would've got a gong....

Got an email yesterday from a girl chasing a certain GTR that her partner had spotted online on a certain trade website in Japan. They'd reached the point where they were ready to drop their money down with the seller, and had already rung a RAW to organise compliance when he forwarded them on to me for advice. Here's the email the "seller" sent her: So I asked for the potential buyer to send me the photos and, after finding the car on Goo Net, I sent an enquiry just for fun...and the reply came back: When I quizzed the people at Goo about the clowns at Auto Plaza, I got this reply, gave me a bit of a laugh: Just remember kids - if it sounds too good to be true...

These were my very first choice, but having seen a few Cubes with 15s on since then, smaller diameters get lost in the huge wheelarches, and you'd need it about 30mm off the ground to make it look decent... CSTs don't float my boat sorry... Regarding offset, factory rims are 15x5.5 +48 or thereabouts, so for obvious reasons going below about +20 is gonna be risky, even with the overfenders. Kinda limits the dish factor.

Ok, having been d1cked around by the importer of the wheels I'd originally picked, and having already bought a supercharger kit and factory optional overfenders for it, I've reached another roadblock with wheels. Let me start by saying wheels in the sizes I want are very very difficult to find, so options are fairly limited. Let me know what you think... Choice one - Panasport F1 Pros: Panasport are extremely high quality wheels, and the Watanabe/Superlite style is always a winner on a Cube, 17x8s Cons: Maybe a bit plain and safe choice for the car? Choice two - Work Meister Pros: They're Work Meisters, 'nuff said. White rims always look tough on a black car. Cons: Only 17x7 but offset is still pretty good, maybe brakes will look too small with an open-spoke wheel Choice three - SSR Mesh Pros: Old school styles, but 17x7 makes them decent diameter too, if not width Cons: Whether they'd suit the car hmmm, would need to be slammed to look good I reckon Choice four - Work Euroline/VIP style (Yes I know these aren't Euroline, but you get the idea) Pros: Would look pretty gangster given that the car is black Cons: Wouldn't work so well with the overfenders or the supercharger in my opinion... If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Welcome to 2009 lol - cool car but...

lol lucky you tooted, a POS ute doesn't even register on my radar haha

(OMG how did he know that??)

So we can all invoice you now for all the ball breaking over the last 6 months? lol
