  1. this thread reminds me of nissansilvia. Grow a pair of balls, go to a dealership test drive, sit in and figure out what YOU like. Who gives a rats flying arse what a bunch of retards on a forum think you should do. At the end of the day, its a car YOU need to feel comfortable with, one that YOU can afford to keep on YOUR budget, and one that YOU'RE stuck with till you decide to sell it. Not them. In any case I voted for teh R32 GTSt... RB20 powah!

    Anxiety

    emo!
  3. not that I know of, the center cap and sticker are what I usually use. I'm just thinking if I find someone with narrower 18" wheels, then I can use their inner rim, and jus thave to have the outer lip redone.
  4. mine... should have the CA18DET back in time for the next SAU motorkhana day. We had it in, then took it out to fit the S13 powersteering rack to it.
  5. just out of curiosity, what diameter and offset are your rims 46n2?
  6. oooo gigs of photos. Look forward to it. say hi to Smokey for me. and convince him to come to oz and speed aroudn a little.
  7. well that's what I'll have to do if I can't get them redone. Yup, that's one o my concerns, which is why I'm hoping to find a workshop that can advice me properly. Its in the pics Yes Wide enough that a 10" with a +10 offset sits flush with the front. When was the last time you saw Work Equips in 18"x11" with around a -50 offset sell cheap? Fatter rims dosen't solve my problem. The widths of the rims are perfect. Its the offsets that are wrong.
  8. my mum drives a laurel (rb20det)... can she come?
  9. Oh those brackets would be in my garage. I'll have to send them to you. Completely forgot you were after semi clears. I might trade mine with you, let me fit them up with the kit and see how they look first.
  10. ... says the guy with the purple car. besides, its what huddy and softy do best. Betcha any money they cyber with each other via PM.
  11. price on: cefiro indicators (orange repeaters in bumper) cefiro dash, just next to the vents that demist the windscreen there's two sensor holes. Need both of those. if you have them, pics/prices of the R32 headlights and indicators off the half cut. also prices on: cefiro grille cefiro indicators (next to headlights) cefiro headlights I can come pick em up.
  12. yes well spotted.
  13. ... or I could shell out $50 and get a 27mm spacer. I'll have to get the rims remachined/fixed anyway, so I figured I might as well get this done too. anyways... here's some pics of the rims. front: rear:
  14. Hey all. Just fitted up the widebody kit to an R32, and got some measurements off it. Now I've got a set of Work Equip's 18x10 and 18x11 for the rears. Any wider and the tyres will send me broke (also if I go any wider in the rears I'll have to use a staggered tyre size, which means different contact patches with the road, which means the traction sensors will go off, which means my ATTESA will go into "oh noes, AWD mode!" 24/7). So some strategic offseting and spacing have to be used. The fronts fit properly and sit 2mm outside the guard, clears the struts and steers fine, which is perfect. The problem I have is with the rears, the offset on them needs to be reduced by 27mm (ie the center needs to go inwards another 27mm to make the whole rim sit around 2mm outside the guard. I can either move the center of the rim inwards, or I can get a 27mm spacer. I'd prefer to move the center, as it would, as wanky as it sounds, give the rim some extra testicular fortitude. Work Equips, the way they are made are a 3 piece rim. There's an inner rim, a center piece and an outer lip. Basically I need the inner rim to be shortened 27mm, and the outer lip extended by 27mm. I'm looking for a workshop that can do this, and machine the rims so that the alterations are not visible, and as the outer lip is chrome, re-chrome the outer lip. Does anyone work at a shop that does this, know anyone that does this, or have had work done at a shop that can do this sorta task. If this doesn't come to fruition, I'm gonna have to custom order a set of inner and outer rims from work themselves, which I anticipate to be a lot more costly. So any help is greatly appreciated.
  15. woah foolseek greddy license plate holder n all... although, this must be said, welcome to a few years ago when this tumour was unleashed on the motoring world.
  16. One pic? $1500 airline tickets, entry fees, transport costs, accomodation, and all you can manage to post is 1 pic? although... she does look hawt. Is she even japanese, or does she have one of them fake tans on?
  17. that's what the general automotive discussion area is for. general shizzle.
  18. exactly what do you need logged? I use a HKS Camp, and it logs up to 400 minutes worth of driving on a 2mb card. Basically logs all the readings the ECU puts out like throttle, speed, a/f ratio etc.
  19. After compliance: You need to a roadworthy check, if your compliancer hasn't already given you one. That's about the only standard thing you need to do across all the states, what state are you in? It might be better to ask you local road transport authority. Docs you need for reg (in VIC for example): Engineers cert for compliance Import approval Purchase invoice Roadworthy
  20. Jeez bit uncalled for isn't it? Who shoved a hornet's nest up your ass? I'll do a page or two, but I don't have time to do a book. I have hardly any time to read let alone translate these days.
  21. yeah standard here as well. The new version of the forums which we're working on will have a custom skin. neither dark nor birhgt, so it should theoretically work well with all sigs.
  22. ozhonda.com forums. there's also the honda club of australia, which has been running for over 30 years, but I can't remember their website.
  23. check in the 4 door sedan section. Users like gaffa and a few others have checked into it already. Its well more than a 10 min job (as you have to change rear bar, boot, bumper support and lights etc.
  24. at the end of the day its a skyline, its not some uber mega rare museum piece. They're meant to be driven, and they're engineered to be regular road going cars. You don't have to worry about its health if you maintain them well and service them regularly. I did about 120km/day in my old line and when I sold it, it ran as well as it did when I got it. If you can't afford the upkeep, you shouldn't have bought the car in the first place, but if you can afford it, then drive it till the wheels fall off, which if done right, will never happen.
  25. lol i don't give a rats arse what the yanks did, but if you don't edit your sig to less than 3 images in the next 24 hours you'll be losing the ability to have a sig altogether.
