^^^ what that Mark guy said. any electrickery you make, make it a +1 for my GTS4.

lol actually most aftermarket rims are lug centric and not hub centric so that one wheel can be used on multiple brands of cars with the same PCD but differing hub centre diameters. Some may use hub rings for reinforcement if they have say not enough material around the lugs to take the stress, but no manufacturer is retarded enough to make a non hubcentric AND non lug centric wheel. NISMO LMGT4's are hub centric because they're commissioned by Nissan from Rays FOR NISSANS ONLY.

original... just like all the other guys? Just make sure you guys don't drive you hearses in California. might actually get arrested.

*facepalm* look at the diagram that you just posted and the diagrams I posted above and figure out what type of wheel Speedy is referring to. whatever, just do what you want. oh noes, oil in the engine!

yeah pretty much, removes oil in air lines.

so it blows vapourised oil onto the bonnet? nice.

To centre it properly while being installed. IF your wheel needs a hubring, it will come with them. All aftermarket manufacturers supply locating rings for their wheels if they are needed. Lugs by themselves cannot centre a wheel properly, which is when you need a locating ring to centre it. Some wheels are designed to have this ring left after installation, others are designed to be removed.

here... lug typical of a lug centric install: lug typical of a hub centric install: the former transfers tension onto the wheel AND the stud, whereas the latter puts tension onto the stud ONLY. In some cases running a hub ring on a lug centric wheel can actually be dangerous as you'd be counteracting the tension on the wheel by the lug needed to centre the wheel, and instead putting stress on a part of the wheel NOT designed to take tension, i.e. the centre. left: lug centric. right: OEM hub centric It's not a matter of "to be safe", ask yourself if you're putting tension on the part of the wheel that was designed to take tension. I'm sure you'd love your wheel to start fracturing from the centre where it may be weaker.

you guys realise that the need for hub rings is totally dependent on the design of the wheel, therefore whatever experience you've had with your wheel may not apply to his wheels right?

that wheel was probably not lug centric?

like what? hold your wheel? that's what they do. that's all they do. if your wheels are tightened properly and centred properly while being tightened you shouldn't need hub rings. unles syou have a hubcentric wheel. which I doubt, cos this isn't the 80's.

think it's pretty obvious it was a chop epsy. well, for everyone cept the dude concenrned with suspension travel on a photoshop.

Technically you only need hub rings to install wheels. The process used to be that you put a hub ring on, tighten the wheel, then remove the hub ring. This ensured that the wheel was perfectly centered once the lugs are tightened. If your wheel is moving around after the lugs are tightened then you should be more concerned about the play in the wheel, the lug or the bolt. Your wheels are either hub centric (centered using the hub) or lug centric (centred using the lug). most jap wheels should be lug centric with a wider hub hole to allow for varying axles. So you'd kinda sound like a tard if you went to a tyre shop and told em that you want them to leave the centering tool in it after they're done. "Oh yeah, leave the cast on my broken arm on after it's healed, it adds strength to my arm". Hub adapters on the other hand need to be hubcentric, as they aren't as lug centric as wheels are. Lug centric wheel + lug centric hub adapter = fail Lug centric wheel + hub centric hub adapter = win Lug centric wheel + hub + no hub ring = win Hub centric wheel + hub + no hub ring = fail Hub centric wheel + hub + hub ring = win kapish?

^^^ can't transfer a suspended license interstate tho

SSR Profs aren't as good as Work Meister S1 3Ps, in that the profs aren't modular wheels.

yeah don't use taskmanager apps. on an android phone having a full memory is a good thing. just make sure you don't have shit apps that are poorly coded and ping the internet or poll your GPS etc when not in use. high memory usage - good, high processor usage - bad.

yeah I'm just sayin the meister ambassador seems very "borrowed" from the two originals I posted before. They're the Rotas of the watch world. Very slightly original yet very similar to an exxy brand, but just as functional

looks like a strange mashup between an audemars piguet royal oak survivor and a hublot big bang with a quartz movement lol. don't wear that watch around people who may own either of those originals.

nope. The luxury model of the Prince Skyline was the Prince Laurel, both designed by Shinichiro Sakurai. When Prince merged with Nissan, he continued to head development of the Skyline, Laurel and also the Mid4 projects. He was also president of Autech, and ran his own engineering/mechanical workshop called S&S Engineering. The R32 GTR was his brainchild. In late 1999/2000, as an homage and celebration of 10 years of R32 GTRs, Nissan gave S&S Engineering (headed by Sakurai, who had now retired from Nissan) 32 R32 GTR shells, which were then hand built using R34 GTR mechanical parts, and brand new R32 GTR V Spec II trim. They were all white. http://www.sseng.co.jp He's pretty much the godfather of the Skyline, and very highly respected in japan for his contribution to the automotive industry (he's a automotive hall of famer too). You can read his book (in japanese): http://books.google.com.au/books?id=oEUoqH...tsec=frontcover

5 internets to anyone who can tell me when the last run of R32 GTR's was, what colour and how many? 5 more internets if you know what the luxury skyline model was called when first released, and who designed it (if you work this out, it should give you a hint to the first question)

you ngas have time to play games? FFFUUU.

ASUS. especially on that budget.

yeah our sales people use ipads to do pitches and show book designs and manuscripts as well. useless for browsing interwebs though, like post whoring on forums and shit.

RC41 is 4.1:1 gear ratio and E4N71B is the transmission code.

i drive everywhere, I don't commute on PT, when I'm at home I'm either on the PC or doing stuff that don't involve PC's or watching TV. I have an iPad, but I use it for developing apps. I tried watching movies on it, and it sucks at it. I tried reading a book on it and it sucks at that too. It's only good for playing iphone games on a slightly bigger screen. also mad homo move to buy an ipad now when they just released the patents to the next version.
