Rims over 18", especially when they have those 'elastic band' tyres. Leave that to the 'pimped up' SUV's.

Local rims such as Incubus. Fcuking disgusting, even on Commodores they look SO bad. I'd pay to NOT use them. :)

Rims with kerb rash.

De-spoilered 33's; leave the 'smoothed' look to Mexicans.

I think "proportional" is the word. Everyone's got their own taste. However, don't over do it.

Personally, I honestly feel Skylines need their rear wings - they look weir without them.

A few badges and stickers here and there aren't too bad - but full blown graphics - I'm against that!

I guess each to their own.

I absolutely hate the look for R33's. Honestly, its like Nissan couldn't choose if they wanted to make it a sports cars or a family car. Dont take it personal you R33 owners...

I also hate the front bumper bar on R32 gts-t's. They are too caved in...

stock height with shitty body kit so the distance between the tire and wheel arch (guard) is at leased 5 to 6 inches lol, those old black spoke with electric red rim wheels, shopping list of audio brands on the back window. all that with the maccas toy hanging off the back.

Yeah i don't really see anythign wrong with it. Now with a rear diffuser it looks gorgeous. If i had any lower rear bar the diffuser would be scraping on the road lol.

To wheels are a bit 'blingy'.

i said the rear bar because, most of the times i c a r33 skyline, it looks so nice with low front bumper, side skirts but when you look at it from the side the Rear bumper doesnt blend. it looks too high. Nissan should have given rear Pods standard on all 33's.

Try lookin at a skyline wt a factory Bodykit from an angle. maybe u will see what i mean.

My mates r33 with rear pods looks very nice and evn blends with the factory kit.

Oh ok i see where you are coming from. Yeah i hate when people have a front bumper the size of a snow plow 1mm from the ground and than the rest of the car factory height with big gaps in the arches.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
