i have access to shotguns... inc 12guage pump actions and double barrells.... but im joking of course... ...

pffft sif... no way cause that would get rid of my little doggy friend

yeah well lookin at these 235s on the rear of these 8" rims im guessing it may be an issue cause its damn near flat with the rim of the guard... going to take it down to the wheel ppls and see what they say.

id be up for it maybe not every month but at least once every 2 months!! once this GTR front end is painted and ready to go i should be right... specially now that i have 4 spare wheels now the enkeis are on

http://www.yellowpages.com.au/onlineSoluti...16033dcd5d4ee57 "normally about $30 per wheel" but will need to get them blasted first.... 97064488 - blast master in dandenong "$15each for normal rims up to $30 if they are powdered" so to get it done i'll need to take the wheels down to a wheel and tyre shop and get them to take the tyres off... probably about $50 appx. plus the sandblasting @ $15 per rim which is a total of $60 plus the powdercoating which is $30 per rim which is a total of $120 so all up looking at about $230 to $260 not too shabby

cool... that first one is about 5 minms from here

pffft i wanted white rims on my car before i got it... was going to get an R33 white with white rims... but went off the 33 and went for the 32. i dont even know where u go to get things powdercoated... are they a specialist place? ie. they are a powdercoater in the yellow pages???

here are some better pics... http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no...ks/notasbad.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no...ks/wheelson.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no...ocks/sideon.jpg even shined em up to see what they looked like

some pics with the wheels on... http://members.optushome.com.au/sau...backtofront.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau...s/fronguard.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau...hocks/front.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau...shocks/rear.jpg oooola - dunno where im going to put the number plate... might do a sideo mounto in homageo to the sideoway dorfito fashion EXTREME!

hey im sure i seen that car last night around midnight on the way home just outside the city. ummm enkeis are 8" on the rear and 7 1/2" on the fronts at the moment they have firestone 235s on the rear and 215s on the front... so i'll either go 235 all round or 235/255

i think i'll stick to white

... dressed in spandex... u know what hes like.

hehehe now put a GTR front end on it... :D jk... actually no im not... DO IT!!

eric - nah i decided not to go for the 89 GTR and instead keep this and do it up til its just right and keep it. I had most the parts sitting around for nearly a year so i havent spent any cash on it recently apart from the seats. dave - there will be a "little" rice but nothing too out there... was nice to drive it today... its the first time in about a month ive been able to drive her... oh how i miss snapping into second and third and feeling the arse end step out to the side when it breaks traction....

then chop em onto my car hehe

nah want the whole wheel done in the same colour... wanna fotochop them into white and one in gold? this gold idea is starting to grow on me

Ok... not a hell of a lot has changed since the last post apart from the fact that i finally got the drivers seat in and have fit the gtr indicators and repaired the left guard. its lookin good but still a long way off... ive decided that i just dont have the time anymore to prep it for paint so im going to either get con to finish it off (fit the bar properly, weld the boot holes up and paint strip the right guard etc) and paint the damn thing. the cost to paint and finish it off from con from palm is 1800 which is a little expensive but it will be at least done to a HIGH standard... ive seen the work that goes on down there and these guys are good as im sure whistla and arsn will be able to tell u (altho i still see arsns down there so he wont know how good a job they do til its done i spose ) anyway heres a few pics... http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no.../almostdone.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no...almostdone2.jpg http://members.optushome.com.au/sau_vic/no...almostdone3.jpg things to be done still to the exterior... -mesh up the front bar. -fit and paint the GTR skirts -get the carbon bonnet -get the nismo rear lip -powdercoat and fit the wheels once thats all done i will start on the engine and finish off the interior (including registering it as a 2 seater and fitting a half rollcage.) ... looks like this project is going to take longer than i thought should look the goods once its done.

hahahha pred... ok powdercoating it is... now to find a place that does it. dunno about gold...

one step ahead of u... oh wait i only got the metal ones

still gotta decide wether i just paint em white or get the enkeis powdercoated... probably easier to just paint em as meggala said.

now to get the 235s put on the front and chuck some 255s on the rears oh and i got my cusco front sway bar too... i like today.

well said dave

wow great deal.... :bahaha: what about just car insurance?

yeah dude dont feel left out cause u have a 180!! this is an enthusiasts club... i love the 180s and was thinking of getting one as a thrash/track car to learn to race in. come to a meet/cruise... and who ever told u that this is a skylines forum and to go else where can stfu.

soften up the rears... should get rid of it a little. I had the same issue (dont have a whiteline kit) with my suspension... the rear shocks were way too hard and causing massive axle tramp and it bounced like a mofo! ppl shit themselves when they were in it cause they didnt know what the hell was going on... softened the rears with turn of a dial... bam! a lot smoother.
