do a chop with white wheels. i'm not convinced that white will look good against yellow.

the other problem is i dont like black wheels either.

so basically, i got nuffin'.

unless you wanna go for a shadow/chrome dish, or something like that. then i'm with ya.

these wheels look good imo - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...st&id=62463

white is teh sex.

thanks Tony.

im getting the rims but i definatly want white on there somewhere. i might replace the blue strip with a white strip or just get it cut back and polished.

for $300 with tyres, you cant go wrong.

theyre 17x9 so i'll mainly be getting them for grip.. i lose too much traction :P

I like wheels with contrast color.

i sprayed my r32 stockers white, looks good when they are clean, but after like 2 days, you get either road grime or brake dust on em and they look SHIAt!! and im assuming that applies to all white rims!! so if u do it, then be prepared to give em a wipe every 2 days. (WORTH IT THOUGH)

by the way, i saw your yellow r33 at that harry's hotdogs on saturday a week ago, looks awesome man!! love the body kit!!

cheers,

daniel

what i want to do is spray the black parts white, then get the blue part around the edges polished. cleaning isnt a problem cause my car is always dirty, so i wont bother.

man i love harry de wheels... im there as often as i can be.

where were you?

a really dodgy pic of my car when i bought it. it has the white enki rims same as the ones your gettin. personally i prefer bigger rims. i plan on sellin these soon

haha, check out the lift kit! good thing its sittin low on coilovers now!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
