I had a chance to post up my old car pics a while back if you guys remember.

The old rims were WORK Emotion CR Kai in Bronze. Front were 17x9 and rear 18x9.5

The new rims are:

WORK VS-KF's with new Kumho Ecsta SPT rubber. The spokes are Burnt Black, lip is chrome.

Front 17x10

Rear 18x10.5

Front Dish: 100mm

Rear Dish: 120mm

Special Thanks To: KEEP Performance Lab for doing all the work on the car. They had to re-roll all four fenders to fit the new rims.

The bodywork to smooth out and paint all 4 fenders is obviously unfinished. I'll probably wait until my new bumper arrives to repaint everything at once.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

All comments welcome :D

One thing is that there's some clearance issues with 18's on the front since I really enjoy having the car slammed super low to the ground.

Also running staggered it makes the rear rims and the rear of the car look bigger / wider. I think the best part of a skyline is the "rear end" lol.

Damn nice car man! The old rims were cool and the new ones are just damnn cool!! :P

How come you always get 17s for the front and 18s for the back?? Any special reason?

That's nice...

there is a thread here about matte / satin black paint jobs... your car is mentioned in there somewhere...

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
