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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
