Hey guys,

Pretty new to the skyline world, but i've been around my share of nissans. After driving my 33 for a bit know i'm starting to organize bits and pieces for it. First thing I wanted was floor mats, since the importer kept the ones that were in mine when I got it (bastards). Now I simply refused to pay the ebay price of $299 for 'genuine' mats.

Through contacts and a bit of research I am now confident I can have a set made for pretty much any skyline for around 100-150 mark. Carpet would be heavy duty auto motive carpet, although a bit thinner than the genuine article. I can have it trimmed it pretty much any colour as well. I'm also looking to have them embroided with say skyline or nissan or something like that, however I am yet to find an embroider who will do small scale stuff as the tooling can be a pia.

Just thought I'd get some interest as I rekon there would be a few people out there like me that don't want to pay the $299 premium! If i can get things rolling I might be able to do a small scale group buy or something.

Cheeeeeeers!

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      My view is to put the best tyres your budget allows for a daily, there is no run off or kitty litter on the street, only cars, bikes, gutters, trees, kids .......as for the track, it's not like street driving where you need to deal with all the thousands of Muppets that are cutting you off, slamming on their brakes for animals or pedestrians that wander into the road Every mm the tyre brakes better could be the mm's required to not running over a kid who runs out in front of you, especially if it's wet, wet weather is where most cheap tyres fail horribly, either when hard braking, or quick evasive turning even at lower speeds My Honda came with Tracmax, whilst they worked in the dry doing legal road speeds, in the wet they were rubbish  After some googling reviews I tried some Hankook Ventus Prime 4's, the difference in the dry is noticeable, but in the wet the difference is chalk and cheese, IIRC they were around $150 a tyre fitted, so for only $600 for 4 news tyres, that are lasting really well, I have tyres that actually work at legal road speeds in the wet If they save me once from "an unfortunate situation" they have paid for themselves  Tyres are one of those things that can save your life when driving, and as most of your time driving is in your daily, your daily tyres are more important than a tyre on a performance car that knocks of a second or 2 on the track My daughter is a copper, she regularly drags dead or injured people out of cars because they lose control, or run up the back of cars in the wet TL;DR. Buy the best tyres that might help save your life if $hit goes down https://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/ongoing/road_deaths_australia_monthly_bulletins

      Hey sycotix and welcome!  We changed domain names a while back, some of the old links still go to the old domain. If you can click the report button on these posts I can fix them up. I try to attack them as I find them. Thanks! Christian
