hey!

Though GTR-8OY wont read this:

I was in Japan, notably Tokyo about 12 months ago and it was the same story, HEAPS of vans, ( general courier style vans ) and taragos with huge chrome rims and exhaust/spoiler kits and lowered, looked crazy :D

But I did see heaps of skylines aswell, but mostly 4 doors, which at the time I had no idea existed * blush * The real head turners in Tokyo seem to be old cars which have been kept in beautiful condition because the registration expenses are phenonimal for those and have some sorta reputation attached to them.

Where abouts is GTR-8OY staying? I stayed at my dad's apartment in Yoyogi, near the park, which was about 15 mins walk from Shibuya and Shinjuku :D I really should hit my dad up for parts since he lives in Japan eh. *shakes head*

-Darky.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
