Enkei's arnt fakes. They are not trying to be something there not an are high quality,

Cheap wheels are fine so long as they are not trying to be something they are not. replicas are what ticks me off.

Does this go for everything or just wheels? Say the likes of kit cars? Not the real thing but a replica, and in some instances better than the real thing ( so im told )

Te37's, unlike shelby cobras are readily available, so no not really, its a different situation

Cheap wheels are sometimes fine for posing around on the street, however if you race on them, be prepared to possibly die or stuff it in the wall.

Having said that the number of fakes I see on the dyno that are basically buckled square from hitting tiny ruts in the road daily driving etc is frightening. There are no standards in this game of knock-off wheels, just the temptation to make them as cheap as possible to maximise margins. Thats the price some will pay for vanity.

That's why I use Rays Martin as you know, on the track safety is paramount, I value my life an wouldn't want a major wheel failure at 200km/h

Either needs to hold 240 ish need one cheap utill I can buy somethin decent as I got a drift prac cuming up with low cash so will take what I can get

what engine have you got R34 in a 34 or a neo engine gearbox in something else

poor man pays twice, why not get a reasonable clutch right from now and sort the rest of your shit out after

i can get a good clutch at a decent price just all depends on what you call cheap to quotes you may have received from other places

hey mate neo engine and box in my r32 drift car.mainly after something cheap as i wont have cash to buy something decent before my private day was going to wait till it dies so i can atleast attend and do a skid or 2. im not going to spend anymore then $1000 on clutch. If ure able to get me some prices on and array of a couple clutches would be awesome and highly appreciated

the number of TE37's that ive seen cracked lately from driving around on our shitty roads is also quite high!

+1 I can also vouch for npc clutches, got mine from madaz and simon installed it, i went the 9.5 which is about 100 bucks cheaper than the 10 and its really not that bad at all, no probs in traffic and can handle punishment, so overall great bang for buck clutch, get a quote from madaz

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
