Getting Tyers Swapped+low Car?

[-pumba-]

Nisskid your car is hardly heaps low? But anyway sometimes wood isn't thick enuf so you can get the arms underneath the car to the chassie rail

exactly what i was trying to say wayne lol

[PREISS]

I had a lot of trouble with my old car. This was actually when it was jacked up a little more.

The wood trick does work but you need a mate to give you a hand and eyes.

[Weezy]

Thats the type of kits n sh!t I had to deal with at sinergy, nightmare. With side skirts etc wood fails as it doesn't bring the car high enough to get under the skirts lol Absolute nightmare!

lol, i think ull find it doesnt look low because it doesnt have a gay kit on it or hektik 18's, to give u an idea, the cat was scraping on the road when i was doing 3-point turns because of the camber of the road.

but yeh, the kits are an issue, but the actual arm is only about 7cm thick, so all id need to do is put u up onto a 5cm thick block of wood, and the arm will slide under easily.

What is it with people dissing kits these days ?

With the right wheels etc they look tough.

BN kits with massive offset wheels look tough. Sometimes I think I'm reading the grandpa gogo mobile forums

[scandyflick]

kits are gay.

*shrug*

im a fan of factory aero.

and seriously, most kits you see have been executed horribly.

nah for the most part kits look tryhard and massive offset is extravagant wank

im for the james bond school of design, not the paris hilton mindset

subtlety over gaudy vomit

-D

Edit - yet to see a kit for the r32 gtr that beats the stock standard bodykit - cant fake those curves baby

Yes. ofcourse executed kits are bad. Im not talking about half hanging of veilside kits . My old 33 with BN and nice wheels looked neat. wasnt some backyard job.

Not really. Some cars are absolutely f**ked up from a design point of view, and you don't need to even start a poll.

Drift cars look cool because they are functional for what they do. I laugh when I see a street car with drift kit and the butthole has to spend a good minute negotiating the local HJ's carpark

The bodykit I'm talking about is the stupid stuff that leaves you with a couple mm worth of clearance from the wheels and the ground, the sorta stupid kit that is flared out widebody style, and the kits that have loads of these vents for braking channels, engine bay flow, cabin flow, boot lip flow

IMHO practicality beats everything else. For a serious street car I dont know why anyone would get the really low wide and flared kits ... if u want to impress 16 year old girls or want to have your own bay at autosalon, go for it, but I personally would rather have a performance car with the right suspension, wheel offset, castor and camber to do some serious driving on our roads, rather than just being some pretender to the throne - theres a big diff between street and track spec, so why run a show car with trac spec suspensions and offset? Theres no point trying to rock a skyline in J-spec suspension on A-spec roads.

Some fair points.

I dont have a BN . or a massive kit on the 34. not because of just looks , but because I found the other kit impossible to drive around in.

People have diff opinions on looks. could go on forever without a result.

However. I wasn't trying to be a drift king on the streets with my BN kit. ? Not all people do. Some people like the look. I did, with the right wheels. real paint. No poofy other shit. just neat and tough. Nothing wrong with the more subtle look. Which is what im going for now with standard nismo kit. minus gay wing. Just sticking up for some people and their voice.

You think my 33 up there looks like vomit ?

*ahem*

dont even try to put words in my mouth

as for your car, i'll reserve my judgement for when i see it in person

-D

[PREISS]

lol it was a question.

All good though.

Its bed time.

One of the most stressful days in my life. Moving house sucks big time . Money can also suck at times

[SkyHi_33]

+1 for clean stock modified look.

all a car should need is some nice wheels, good offset, decent height and lots of suspension/brake/engine work

[Weezy]

Imo anyone that changes the kit on a 32 GTR should be slapped untill they're p!ssing out blood LOL!

However I think S15 looks mint with a nice kit.

[2FST4U.R33]

whenever i get new tyres from Beaurepairs at Warradale/Somerton Park they drive my car up onto 4 rubber blocks so they can fit a jack under my car, since the front bar hits (yes hits not scrapes) on the hoist.

[nisskid]

as i mentioned, my hoist only needs like 10cm clearance, so unless ur rails are 1cm off the ground, then a wooden block is enough to get enough clearance.

maybe these other hoists people are using are higher, but all i know is its easier to get my hoist in underneath, than a jack.
