Get off my thread both of you !!!

HAHHAHAAAA.........Jonno your forgiven because I still need to pick up the cleaning stuff from you BEFORE you go overseas...Brendo - until we have another catch up session and talk for 4 hours about cars again your not forgiven !!

They should hopefully come sometime this coming week, they were shipped out early last week so we can be expecting them soon will bugger off your thread now

Christmas is the busiest time of the year for me as I work in hospitality....have been trying to get motivated to do car stuff but the 11 hour shifts 6 days a week are not making life any easier....

I have lots of tasks and little projects lined up.....but have to find the time to get started on them...and by the looks of it....not much is going to happen before new years.

This morning had other plans for me though....I woke up three hours earlier than I usually do and I had some spare time so decided to get my wiper blades changed - noticed the back one had become frayed and was "hanging" behind when the wiper was in use. This should explain what I mean

Anyways..I changed them this morning and now have a new set of wiper blades Purposely left them a little longer than the last ones....so hopefully more of my windscreen will get cleaned..I remember having cut the front left extra short by accident last time round.

Also might quickly jot down some of the tasks that I have in mind...will tick them off slowly over the next few weeks

1. Paint calipers black and NISSAN writing in a nice red.....(should set off the gold and silver rims nicely and look a lot "healthier" than the grey old look they presently display)

2. Finish the window trims....(have left them sanded halfway....really need to get to this asap)

3. Build a ramp....and get the front of my car up...so that I can work on getting black mesh in front of the intercooler....(to make the front of the car look clean and stealthy)

4. Wrap a few hoses and fabricate a turbo shield.....(before I start melting stuff)

5. Get my rear bar heat proofed (just around the exhaust tip - flames look cool....but fire is HOT )

6. Paint bits in the engine bay

7. Look into the sourcing of my new rims

Took the car up to the hills for a mid morning run....besides being bloody hot....it was awesome fun...some beautiful roads and views

Just a heads up..............

Seems like a few people are having this problem (judging by the number or "reposts")

So if anyone tries to post in this thread...there is an error message that pops up when you click post....and it appears that your post has failed......dont worry..it usually comes through on the first go..........its strange (and annoying) and it happens to me all the time as well....just click forums or another of the tabs on top like I do after you click post and see the error message and then re-navigate to this page and you should see your post here

and Lachlan

Today was another productive day.....

Went to Brendan's place for the day.....spent heaps of time chatting about car stuff as usual...had an awesome steak sandwich at the pub nearby...and trial fitted some wheels

Now part of the decision to change my rims was because of the fact that my current ones are 17 inches...I personally reckon they look too small and feel 18 inch rims are the sweet spot for skylines. Also mine have a decent offset but I have always wanted to run spacers just to get a more aggressive look. Brendo happens to have a very similar style to mine...but in 18s. They are shadow chrome (silver shade) or something like that...cant remember what he told me now...

SO....my options are...

1. Buy the rims from him and paint the middles gold like my current ones....

Advantages: Bigger dish on his ones....actual dish on the fronts as well....broader rims = wider tyres = I love the look from the back...no gutter rash on left hand side rims like mine.

Disadvantages: The offset on his are actually weaker..so will definitely have to run bolt on spacers

2. Buy the Te37s in Matte or Satin black

Advantages: I will finally have my much awaited black on black look...I can choose my offset and rim size etc

Disadvantages: Money honey

Opinions and suggestions welcome

Few pics to help people make a decision

Old versus "potential" new

What his look like on my car (note: I will be changing the tyre profile...I like the meaty nascar look...so need more "tyre" on the rears)

They have a much deeper dish look

I wouldn't get those imho..

[Hore34]

^^ same just wait and save up and buy some real jap rims.

[adamskill]

i think the silver rims look awesome. imho i really dont like the gold/silver ones you have at all. te37's are amazeballs, but if the silver ones you mate has can be bought at a sweet price, i say do it!! and PLEASE dont paint any part of them gold.
