Soounds wrong? Dont think so.

Those performance challengers on the first car are 16 x 10 -5, mine are 10mm further in, and I have all metal flared guards. And making things harder is mine are 18's.

Car also has now been dropped a further half inch in the rear, and the fronts now have a 25mm bolt on, making them effectivly -25.

for the record, dinnerplates ftl, tough jap rims on a jap car ftw...

But as for Auto Salon, it only used to be like that... It is getting more and more about horsepower every single time... Final battle was a weekend of extremely exciting huge powered cars fighting it out over two days... that, and shit blowing off cars due to insane amounts of boost... 4 cars there (at least) hit over 900 horses, eventually, RH9, the 1000+hp R34 skyline won the event...

Also, our very own SAUNSW member Paul (Dirt Garage), owner of TWO-06L broke a world record for most power out of an R32GTR with low mount turbos... cracked 500kw :) It's also a true 9 second car, and Paul is a proud member of the RH9 club in Japan :( and it's for sale :D

so yeah... you can call Auto Salon rice if you want, but I don't think you've been in a while...

Dyno queens are in the same catagory as show ponies imo. Obviously I'm not saying that every single car at autosalon is a ricer but I can promise everything with huge chromies is... Probably not too many huge horsepower cars with dinnerplates on.

This thread is Hilarious..

So because i'm 20 years old and have a Car with leather interior and chromies makes me a drug dealer? Heck i got a R32 gtr aswell.. that must make me a drug son of rajab!

I admit i personally built my car for such things as Autosalon.. but i also have an 11 sec gunmetal r32 that has no signs of a bodykit, no chrome, and no leather... I guess i'm not much of a poser after all.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but i find it unnecessary to bag a person for what they like.

Care to share with the class how you personally pay for it?

who cares what he does, and its not up to him to tell everyone how he made his money

im 23 ( owned my car for 5 years spent a shitload on it) also have a mercedes ml430, own my own business and been investing since i was 16, people are amazed when someone young makes money, they think its sus.

a few of my mates are in the same boat, 1 in particular makes more money than his parents, good luck to him,

find another job if u want more money.

btw i got big chromies and i aint no ricer, when it comes to racing, i ditch the chromes for my MT's with r32gtr rims and run my 600rwhp car as it should

I used to operate a bodykit business a few years ago, operating through my bro's performance garage.

I hooked up with a few investors met a few people in the business and made contact with some suppliers in japan and china. Made copies in Dubai or china and imported them over and sold them at a higher price under the name of Xstream Aerokits, done so for 2 years until the market died out.

And also invested 5k of what i had when i was 12 to buy a house with my sister which sold last year for several times the purchased amount.

And easily tripled my money, plus the percentage of income i got from the rent. Aswell as a steady full time job.

Thats where the majority of my money came from..and yes it has done me well. is that legit enough for you??

if your going to build the car around the chromes, and make a showcar, then go for your life. not a fan, +1 for tough jap wheels. but each to their own.

my new wheels. not the best photo, but im going to wind my coils down a lil bit soon.

That looks awesome. I was going to do the same on mine but I'm too lasy to keep 'em clean so i think ill go either those or te37's in a darker colour, like bronze or something, possibly even black.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
