my old GTS used to look identical to a GTSt Type M (being a Type S).. was debadged and had wheel nut covers on the BBS rims, so no one could tell that it was a non turbo straight away. This meant half the road going dickhead population that drives riced up underpowered cars didn't want to attract my attention, and the other half of the road going dickhead population wanted to prove to me that their V8/turbo/supercharged car was faster than my "turbo" car.

Now... FYI we don't allow threads that involve street dragging. So I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mean dragging on a drag strip... if you don't want to be embarassed, just pick someone to do the run who's got a car of similar specs to you. 6cyl VN's for example.

i drive an NA r31, it has extractors and 2 1/2"exhaust so it sounds alright and looks ok on the outside too, i find its the other way around, its the smaller engined cars wanting to have a go..

...the lights at the drag sanctioned race track right? hmmm.

my first skyline was a nice NA gts 33 (with 400r front and fully rice GTR badge, lol), sounded hell loud so people would hear me coming from a mile away.

one saturday night pulled up at a set of lights next to an immaculate white S15 with two very good looking blonde girls in it, me and a mate in my car.

gave a little nod, and got a smile and nod back, then lights turned green.

pulled away slowly then gave a little squirt as we both entered the freeway, and she in turn put the foot down and promptly whipped past me with ease.

not so embarassing in itself, except that we actually saw them again later and my mate tried to explain that my "gts-t" was in bad need of a tune... *bitchslaps idiot liar mate*

    • 2 weeks ago $240 cash. 200-300 per wheel is wild for sandblasting and can't see a wheel costing more then $100 per wheel to powder coat.    
    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.
