I don't like them. Would suit a Hummer or the like, but not a Skyline. Soon as I come off my P's I'm grabbing a Silver R33 turbo, whacking a nice kit on it, with a GTR wing and some nice 18" (maybe 19") Enkei rims. Nice and simple, gives the whole car a better look in my opinion, and doesn't just draw your eyes to the wheels.

:P :):yes:

:)

Wheels make or break a car.

And...

Dont buy wheels to fit your car. Make the car fit the wheels.

Did some more work on my guards today. Almost finished, then to be painted. And to decide on a colour LOL

Wow, another 2 pages since I last saw this thread. haha.

Since this is an opinion thread, I reckon R31 drift pig has got the best fitment/wheels posted.

haha definately, ill throw this up but im at a disadvantage as i dont have flares like an R31.

I dont have flares either. They're standard, all metal guards, bashed with a 20 pound hammer and a guard roller. A lot of work went into them. 4 dor sedans cant use the bolt on flares off of coupes.

Guards like mine are possible on your car too.

You also have a huge adavntage having 5 stud, so better access to good wheels, and rear camber adjustment. I have 4 stud and live rear end, so my offsets/widths/guards had to be worked out to the mm.

haha yeh, stock flares.

yeh in that image i was at the limit, running a 225 tyre there, i chucked on a 235 and it started scraping. need to chuck some minor flares on and straighten up the camber.

Id put a 235 tyre on, wind in the camber to 1 - 1.5 deg,a nd roll/flare the rear to suit. A nice rounded flare like you see on S13's etc would look tuff as, especially if you keep running no kit, and just dump it on the deck. Just like this one...

And dont be a homo, keep your 33 gtr wheels silver. Look great against gunmetal paint, but keep the popo off your back because they look factory.

nah, i chose suspension integrity lol

dropping ur car to the floor is so try hard, biggest rice mod i can think of.

oh and the GTR rims im getting a free powdercoat, not gonna pass up the op for a free powdercoat.

Ok the reason I said about the poser drug dealers... Please explain to me how a 21 year old (as a lot of the people that enter their cars into autoghey are) can afford to mod their cars to THAT level?

Rich parents? sure I'll be willing to bet money a lot of them use their parents money. But in all honesty you can't tell me there isn't a flood of drug money financing those cars...

And I'm not talking about a stocko civic with dinnerplate chromies I'm talking about full leather interior, chromed/polished everything, huge turbo kits, airbrushed everything...

Also it might be your car or his car w/e... but you asked and also, some guys like to have sex with other guys... some people like the band Jet... some people think that dressing like tupac is cool. Is it? No, it's not. It might be your car but if you're doing it wrong, don't have a cry when someone tells you.

No offence man, but you seem very norrow minded. Heard of loans? Some people take these out to finance their cars.

You have 13 posts up and a few of these posts are wasted on flaming people. Relax man, find something positive to say about something within your first 20 posts.

Just saying... :laugh:

Can't see too many banks giving your average 21 year old a 50 thousand dollar loan to paint a car and stick a big stereo in it... but that's just me. Obviously not everyone with a hugely modded car is a druggie but as I've said, you can't tell me that there's not a large amount of suspect money financing a lot of autosalon/etc cars.

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
