Introductions

[Timbo3185]

Hey all, new member here! I thought I'd introduce myself and my new car which i bought just last week.

She's a R31 Executive 4spd auto, Burgandy with 132,000 km, I picked her up for $3200, getting my RWC done this week.

Runs beautifully, panels are dead straight, i can't see any flaws with this car, one ding in the quarter panel but there's nothing that can't be pushed back out.

nothing in the inteerior os cracked, broken, worn, it all looks close to new! i'm so lucky I found this in such good condition

that's all for now probably look for some nice wheels and a nicer muffler in a few months, just want to keep it simple for now

I was thinking of something like the Nismo LMGT4 rims/Volk Racing TE-37 or something that's similar to that style. what maximum size wheels will fit?

Welcome Tim... SAU Vic club president drives a R31 too, he should be able to answer some questions.

[Timbo3185]

Just search the forums for "R31Nismoid", you might find a profile thread around somewhere.

Your going to spend upwards of $5k on rims and tyres on a car worth $3k?

[Downforce]

I actually laughed out loud in the office when I read that...

My first car was something very similar and although it gave me freedom I was well aware of what I was driving.

Im sure it is a clean car and will most likely be reliable etc but talkin about stylin, $4k rims etc... bit much

Mate completely agreed 100%! and i'm sure that he will realise, personally if i was that keen on rims i would shop around and for 500-800 you can get some second hand ones with decent meat, otherwise the rims are worth more than the car.

and if you gonna spend 4k on rims u can just my a N/A r32 maybe even an r33.

Anyways welcome to the club buddy and don't spend all your cash on the rims Take the advise
