You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Fun Fact! Camel spiders are classified under the class of Arachnida but they are not actually spiders, they are of the Solifugae order which is Latin for 'flee from the sun.' They are not poisonous but can bite out of self defence... Nothing to be scared of Aaron!

still scared

My kids love shit like camel spiders, scorpions, anything like that, usually do minibeasts as a life and living topic.

I can confirm I was also interested in the above

And always collected those insect magazines where they give you a piece and you need to collect the series to build you spider/scorpion

+2 I had 20s on my ford and the ride didn't feel right, went 19s and fatter tyres feels much better and better traction

+1 get 19s and low

Have heard the LM reps are prone to cracking...

go the varrstoen 19's

Ahhh shieeett. I'm crazy keen on the BBS look though. Trying to replicate the ol' 33 with BBS haha

I've got 20s now and even though it's a bit rough, still not too bad. Maybe to do with tyre profile cos my VE came standard with 19s so on 20s, still a fair bit of meat on the tyres (kinda lol).

I messaged Varrstoen asking if they would do the TE37 (2.2 I think they are) in 20" for me but ahven't got a response yet. If they did, I'd be ALL over it. But until then, still keen on the BBS LMs. Otherwise, it's back to Lenso D1Rs or some generic concave design :(

Good luck in getting a reply from Varrstoen

I've send messages in the past with never a reply, even a sms to the guy

Neither do sharks and they'll still bite your f**kin head off

no they wont.... sharks only have a nibble to see if you are digestible.

they will take a soft bite and assess the bone to flesh ratio, once they see that humans are shit to eat they swim off.

only real problem is that a sharks soft nibble will still f**k you up

Ah that sounds cool! We make mini beasts out of various materials and hang them from the ceiling or pin onto the back wall which we is made into different environments, desert/rainforest/bush.

Yeah don't expect a reply, also goes to show if you have any issues with shipment or your product it's unlikely to get resolved

I think other people in the past have had issues with communication

Don't think I've ever cared for insects, and don't think I ever will.

Insects are pretty cool, they've been around for around 350 million years and for example ants can lift and carry 50 times their own body weight!

Nah just D1R fanboy.

Also, my mate recently bought some Varrstoens... And from order to delivery it all happened quite smoothly and quickly from what I could tell... not sure who he went through though, so possibly not actually Varrstoen but a dealer... So I dunno about custom values... But otherwise can ask who he went through?

But they're creepy crawlies! :P

Hmmm they have good wheels but the poor service alone is enough to turn me off. Had no idea their communication was that bad. Again, thanks for the heads up. You Ford owners are lucky cos you guys have the same stud pattern as Nissans :(

I have a simple formula flow-chart that I employ when it comes to these things:

Does it have more than 4 legs? ------> (YES) ------> Does it have more than 2 eyes -------> (YES) ---------> Does it pay rent ------> (NO) ------> Kill it.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
