Ok so recently me and few friends were driving along to the shops, and noticed a black R32 with space savers on.. We were like cool he must have popped a tyre and put a space saver on.

But then to our amazement he was driving along as if he had all 4 normal wheels on. Speeding a fair bit and cutting in and out of traffic etc etc..

Now not to long ago i noticed another black r33 with one space saver on.. Didnt think much of it then, but saw him aagin a few days later.. Again with space savers on.

Now today i saw him again driving with it on..

Dont you know that its not safe having it on for long periods of time?? Esp when you drive around like as if you had all normal rims on..

Sigh..

End rant..

i'd slash their space savers to get them off the road and prevent an accident.

this space saver shit must be the new "look at me, I'm a fu(kwit" trend.......the 5" cannon exhaust and the 200 db blowoff and pidgeon in the engine bay trend must be on its way out.

He obviously doesn't pay attention to Skylines in the news or he would have seen the Skyline that crashed because they were driving too fast on a space saver. Didn't one of them die?

Yeah I think a guy and his partner died...and a little boy survived the crash?

But the the times i saw the r33 he was drivin normally..

The other r32.. well lets just say there was an accident waiting to happen..

ohh well not my problem in the end anyways!!

hahahah nice pic mr 32!!

and the 200 db blowoff and pidgeon in the engine bay trend must be on its way out.

Not possible.. :blink:

Read the title and thought "Gees.. this one's going to stir a pot, bit racist.."..

But no - it's ok - it's stupid people being stupid..

Saw a taxi drive driving with one the other day - dropping people off.. went to get the next fare, couldn't believe it..

I drove around with a space saver on cos I was having issues with my rims.. but never went over 60k/h or hit boost and never on there for very long ..
hahah sure slim sure..

nah its all good.. Im just lookin out for you guys lol..

it is true

i was following him to make sure everything is fine..

damn, im a good bloke.

I was one of the mates with Siddr20. Believe it or not, the 32 with the space saver had positive camber on the space saver wheel. I think you can all work out how positive camber comes about

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
