those look similar to seats from my S14, the factory ones. those, however, look a bit more supportive and sculpted.

hey man we want pics.

pics?

anyone have these?

right. thanks, mate. (i was beginning to think, as the days wore on, that i was in error!). i need them anyway.

the ones like the attachment:

i'm looking for a set of those circular amber foglights with the black surrounds found on the R33 GTR. if you've got a set and want to sell, let me know. thanks, all. -chad

i'm checking on it. theoretically, the LMGT2's will fit fine. the low offset and wider width is confusing me, though. seems counter-intuitive.

i'm assuming you're new to wheel data. so i will explain briefly: 18" = rim diameter 8" = rim width 5 = 5 lug 114.3 = mm of bolt circle centerline diameter 38 offset = distance in mm of inner mounting surface of bolts from true center of rim (negative offsets, for example, tend to be deep-dish)(in this case, the 38 is assumed to be +38). all of this = yes, it will more than likely fit the R33. cheers, mate.

yes. yes. yes. you are pretty much speaking for me. in the pocket, mate. you see it. my argument about feminization is tied to people, namely men, giving away their power. we do it all the time. both sexes. i seek to recover it, as it is very subtle. that's all i really mean. the recovery process is ongoing, like an addict in recovery - it is the same thing. it is more about "self-empowerment through your own gender" rather than "strict sex roles." you are entitled to feel that society is not as feminized as i make it out to be. ultimately, as you state, only you (the individual) can make yourself happy regardless of what society wants. who knows what it wants. damn. if i had a skyline, i'd just might go out to pick up some chicks! (just kidding) what kind of 'liner do you have, btw? :wassup:

cwest, i'm not into the john wayne male thing. that is not what i am talking about at all. i am talking about emasculation of men. a properly "masculated" man is not suddenly john wayne. that is a parody, hyperbole cartoon character. i get the idea that you don't understand what i am really meaning. nature is in balance no matter what. yin is in the yang, some yang is in the yin. the emasculation/defeminization of society is a result of abusive ubringings. and it is being reinforced in western culture as if it is ok and marketable, as the process is obvious throughout media and general conduct. being male is being taken as a disease today, as if natural masculinity were aberrant behavior. nature itself will ultimately balance out anything. even if it takes a mass extinction or something as history has taught us this. there is a thread about "political correctness," and this is a direct result of an emasculated society. the tsumani i speak of is symbolic of energy as a whole, particularly sexual energy. it is omnipresent and all-emcompassing. like in the motion of the planets, or, for example, the females' cycle is larger than any one individual to control or possess. it is primal and otherworldly. this is an example of what i am meaning. this topic, generally, is difficult to convey, as i am seeing. many bring their own precepts to the table that further alter the point here. i think we generally agree, however, without the other fully knowing it. what really matters overall, imo, is how you work with what you have. cheers.

right. a novelty book. like one of those "men are from mars, women are from venus" books. we've probably gone beyond that here.

ecenshu, who authored "why men don't listen...."?

ecenshu, yes. this is what i am talking about. this polarity compromise, if you will, is just getting worse. yet just beneath the veneer of it is a dragon enraged and seething. it is dangerous. real power is not necessarily just purely anger or rage. these are normal emotions, yes, but in this case run amok and grossly exaggerated under this emasculation/defeminization. >>>out of whack. no balance. my mother has no idea.

so, then, if my mother overcompensated for my father's lack of direction or focus, becoming masulinized a bit, let us say, "beyond" healthy boundaries, then that is a step in clipping the testicles off her son. how? well, the young male has not much of a role model for his maleness, as his father is a weak, directionless, remote presence. have the mother throw in emotional rape, such as confiding in the son personal intimacies that she seeks to share in a lover, in lieu of her own shut-down husband, and you *further* emasculate the male: you have an intimate significant other as a surrogate husband who is really the son (emotionally speaking). this emotionally immature male, the son, so under the wing of the mother, is at once emotionally vulnerable to kowtow to the mother figure, seeing the mother as a mother and a sex object/model for future women, all at once. so he ends up dating/marrying his dominating mother figure, perhaps feeling guilty for even the thought of sexuality with women, ie, the male begins to give away his power. i mean, you don't f%ck your mom. yet the polarity magnetism is a tsunami. cannot be stopped. this creates rage. the struggle to regain power/balance is on...

since i have set up a polarity example, then consider in your skyline, for sake of topic, the battery poles suddenly being reversed. what would happen? or what if there was partial reversal? would the electrical field running through the car be compromised? i'm not an electrician, so i do not exactly know the consequences of this, but i can bet that the car would be compromised. this is emasculation of men. this is defeminization of women. it is not that the genders must be purely one or the other, but there is a general polarity that is necessary to sustain us.

now my view is this: given that what i said (above) exists, as all physical matter is in a constant orbit about other objects, generating charge, this collective momentum en masse, creates a tremendous "gestalt" or tsunami of energy that apparently cannot be stopped. this is society.

cwest, as the sexes impinge upon one another's territory, roles, personalities, they create a magnetic field like electrostatic buildup on clothes. so that little shock you get when you touch the door handle or toaster, that is sort of representative, symbolic if you will, of sexual tension releasing in a burst. the sexes constantly generate this charge. it could probably run all of new york for a couple of days or weeks. so imagine this kind of tension suddenly breaking in a sexual act of intercourse. or a domestic fight. the two are similar forces.

cwest, you are on the right track definitely. may i elucidate further my present-day, real-time, hour-by-hour way of seeing it: i see it pretty much how you have well articulated. very well put. my hyberbole may overstate my desire or need to "dominate." i'm not into s&m and all of that crap, or, more mildly, i don't get a rise out of telling a female what to do. to beg. to do whatever. the domination i speak of is implicit between the sexes AS THEY share power. that is key, and i am glad that you have brought this up. as it represents a revised, more plausible behavior. the genders will forevermore share a tension, as this is real and felt. you can cut it with a knife. i will subdivide this post into smaller ones for eye comfort. stand by...

thanks for the compliments, man. i wil see you on other threads, zedzilla. i'll know you by your spinning avitar thing.

i hear you, matey. i'm ok with you and all you guys. why have i allowed this topic get to me?: in my younger days, i did not have a hot car, as many guys did not. i wasn't very confident. i was not able to approach females to "hook up." but i knew i was a good guy. and that was just my problem: why is it that such as$holes end up with hot girls?, i wondered. so i pondered this for years, as many guys did. and still do. and i got very hostile to women later on. sort of like "payback," rejecting them back. i started to become the as$hole that i bemoaned. and that further enraged me. it was like a joke being played on me. and i was doing it to myself. rather, i helped to do it. the damage of puberty carried well on into my twenties to early thrities, particularly with women. i feel this is common among men. and it has a lot to do with the relationship the guy had/has with his mother. it can become very complex. so, then, being who i am, began to deconstruct, reverse-engineer, if you will, the general dynamic between the sexes, and this outrageous spew from me is what you get here. i do not go around all day brooding over this. i actually have done lots of work, you know the kind where you act out past grief and hurt? that kind. and i have learned a lot about myself and others through this pain. i am actually a generally happy guy and make people laugh a lot, especially my girlfriend. perhaps, at this point in life, i am the most confident and verile i have ever felt or realized. so i have opened up with the inspiration of archaeological hurt from my past to become better. and yet some embers still smolder. so this topic pushes a button with me to this day. i imagine it helps me to deal with it on an ongoing basis; ie, i'm not repressing it. and i understand that lots of people have this problem as i described. and, of course, lots don't. perhaps some of the things i volunteered make sense to someone else. i'll keep the posts shorter. :headspin:

i am wrong just as we all can be. i am very analytical and philosophical. but not constantly. i'd strangle myself to death were i that way! i'm actually not pretentious but very blunt and what-you-see-is-what-you-get. someone pretentious is the type that uses the skyline to get women because they are really a pathetic shallow f#$CK inside. if you have something to add, then go ahead. you did. and that is great. i've spent this topic, actually. this thread did strike a nerve with me, so i went all out. typically, i don't go this far into topics on chat forums. if you have really read the posts, then you will see that i have been on topic the whole time, revealing deeper ideas instead of replying in the boilerplate-standard, expected way as, perhaps, you like better. cheers, matey.

WTF?!, it is exactly the topic. it's going far into the whole point: chicks look at guys with cars. period. whether they f$ck the guy in the car, date the guy in the car, marry the guy in the car, masturbate to the fantasy of the guy in the car, is all the whole thing. the guy in the car is as much of a fantasy man as the grass-is-greener hottie in the skirt with no underwear winking at you and your girlfriend. you lust for it, you want it, you pursue it, you get it, you have it, you had it, you discard it. process repeats. it is a visual masturbation fantasy nightmare that is infinite and inescapable. it is simultaneously fulfilling and empty all at the same time: a car, a breast, an a$$, a wallet, a stiff drink, a hard-on, lust, greed, money, power, wanting, having, not having, getting, not getting, driving, walking the dog, going to mcdonald's. the only safe-haven from any of it is the solidarity of mind knowing that one matters to oneself and, if fortunate enough, can express this state of being to a significant other who truly sees it. the adolescent rush of horny innocence, at once a sanctuary and way of life is, at best, a prison to the man who isn't living the party anymore. :ghost:

the p.c. movement has feminized society a great deal. i believe women are now expected to be men in the workplace, though. so we have a 'defeminization' of women, too. emasculation of men, combined with defeminated women, creates a fU*&Kd up society. i feel women are actually begging for 'a good man.' they want to be dominated by males, actually, as that is the natural order of things. to even say this is unfashionable, though. so i expect dissenting opinions. but men have been emasculated. and it is those men who will not agree with me. women like the gay man because he is not "a threat." it is a technique of some men to pose as gay to garner female attention. then, they act "converted" to straight if the relationship goes farther. coming on as "manly, " too, seems out of fashion and unpopular with the girls' girly mates. but they are all really begging for a man to bend them over and f*CK their brains out. so nobody really says what they really want. and a vast many don't really know who they are sexually or what they really want. pathetic.
