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

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
