So i've finally got my hands on some new wheels :D

Its Tsw Truxton 19's, width 8 in front and 9,5 on the rear

Now im thinknig of going with a GTR-wing painted in the color of the car, but with the wing-plan painted in the same darkgrey color as the lower part of the car, so what do you think? Should i go GTR-wing or not?

Heres a photo of how she looks now!

Cheers!

So you're going shopping for HKS, Trust, Recaro etc are ya :P

Nah the wheels look nice, they suit the car well!

Thx, hehe, well i've already got Recaro seats, HKS induction kit, HKS EVC III, HKS turbotimer, trust quickshift, nismo coilovers & springs, cusco powerbar and so on, so im in no hurry :D

Same two-tone paint scheme as mine, minus the shopping list stickers :)

What front grill is on your car? My front grill has the fins but I like your one better

If you go GTR wing get it same colour as the top, it might not look right if you get it the same colour as the bottom in my opinion.

Thx! I dont know what grill it is, came with the car, but heres a closeup, bad quality though. The thing about the wing was painting it in the same bright silver, except for the middle part, and painting that in the darkgrey color, might look odd though :)

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure it's a nismo factory option grill (me so jealous :P )

After I get my bodykit sorted I'll probably go with a Gtr wing too, do you mean you're getting the middle part with the stop light of the wing painted in dark grey? Even if it doesn't look quite right, at least it will look different & stand out from other R33's ;)

I wanna get a gtr wing in silver but I'll probably just paint the actual blade part of the wing to match the dark grey.

Will look awesome mate, I reckon your current gt wing is a bit too much (I cringe when I see them on Civics)

GTR wing is the way to go, looks hot & less attention from the police compared to gt wing

THX all!

Yea the GT-Wing does give the police something to complain about, had one of those encounters with a 2.5 meter tall policeman yelling in my face that the wing was a high-risk thing, where ppl could get cough and dragged by the car.. Or if i hit someone he would fly over the roof and get cought and get even more hurt.

I dont know whats best, flying over the car and get cought in the wing, OR flying over the car (would probably have sustained severe injury just getting hit by the car) and straight down in the pavement...

Anyways, i do not have a GTR-badge on the boot, cant say posing is my favourite way to go... :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
