my professors (18x9.5) are just on 10kg

they aint heavy wheels

call him and tell him your a mate of mine.... then watch him drop $50 of the price like that... LIKE THAT!

whodaman?

[jezza boii]

Where is he located? Hard to tell the condition of the wheels in the pics.

$50 isn't much but it's still better than nothing

[alr33x]

I had about an inch on you, now with 17's its about an inch and a half lol... Lets not go there!!!!

When I get back, ive got something in store for you

are you sure..? haha when u get back july or soemthing?

Oh and alex, nah im not coming tonight haha. How was/is it? same shit or...?

didnt go.. was to warm in bed haha.. think it was usual shitttt been a bit better last couple weeks but a bit more attention too it seeems

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

lol, i should have said $5

he in springy...

[funkymonkey]

yeah low offset regamasters would look hot on an MR2. in white.

get on it.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

there is also a set of chrome professors that will stick out 6 and 11 mm respectively for $2k

[alr33x]

i rkn the steelies are the way to go..

[funkymonkey]

meisters or professors would look odd on an SW20. the rounded spokes don't match the sharp angles of the car. steelies or regas ftw.

[KURAUN]

that's 1 inch too narrow for my needs.

10.5 +15 or GTFO.

yeh but thats the best sizes ive seen so far for rega's

[jezza boii]

$150 off listed price. Thanks Hamish!!

Just gotta pay a $200 deposit and he will hold them for me. They arrive in 3 weeks.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

no worries jizzy

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Yeah cool Shan!

If they want decent resale value, then yes... Yes they do

that aside, regardless of ur personal opinion of gtrs, they're still an icon. Kids grow up lusting after it and staring at it. Not that they don't at other skylines but it has a rep that's hard to shake. My bf's gtst makes 280rwkw and is bright orange. And it gets a lot of attention. But my stocker 190awkw gtr gets just as much awe as his does depending on the audience. First question when people see it... 'is that a REAL gtr??'

And his car as a 34 is still 40-50k 10 odd years on.

Case closed

Fuck I hate it when ppl ask that!

To the untrained eye, they can't see the wider guards and the GTR badge.

What makes it worst is, I don't have the OEM Spoiler and ppl just think it is a GTS-T.

Garage Cafe Audi S5..?

why don't you e85 tune it while you're at it?

in other news...

Regamaster induced boner:

I like!

Trust me to only just notice the oil leak now.......... f**k.

It's not too bad but it's still a problem and won't pass a roadworthy.

[CrispyFries]

Most RW places I've seen just steam clean an oil leak to pass it

[KURAUN]

stateroads ftw when buying cars

[jezza boii]

Well it turns out that the oil light was only on because the sensor is from the gen2 NA engine.. the gen3 turbo is completely different.

That's what the previous owner told me (after I just txted him about it).

I actually checked the dipstick this time and it indicates it's full haha..

BUT there is a pool of oil under the car (probably about 100ml). Could this be because I overflowed it? I only topped it up by about 100ml

Either I have epic failed or the old owner is lying.

[KURAUN]

so originally was a gen 2 NA engine ? and now a gen 3 turbo

why the engine swap?

[jezza boii]

Well the swap was done at 220,000km when the old engine was getting a bit old.

The gen3 is a much better designed engine. And well, obviously for more power!

Gen 2 NA = 117kw

Gen 3 turbo = 180kw (stock)

Mine would probably be over 200kw. Loving the power/weight ratio

ah yeh fair call

yeah i knew they had more power, and they dont feel so restrictive up top cause they have better cams (brother was looking at buying one)

actually when he was looking he found a gen 2 with gen 3 engine we test drove in gladstone park, was red and paint work wasnt the best best

sounds similar to the one you bought

[krzysiu]

but for me its all about rwd..

Awww yea course it is dooriftoo
