[RYAN], damn right brother, he aint no genuine west side. I grew up in Cabramatta and proud to be part of the TWS....but must admit, nice GTR though....but too much shit done to it for my liking.

Hey Ed, track this dude down and grab those std GTR wheels of him. Offer him $3k for it. They are like $9k to replace new.

In terms of mods, this car is a whore...engine looks nice too. Must do 11s easy from what I can see....but he doesn't have one thing that I do....Genodore Mirrors, that is 30kw in itself...heheh.

Std wheels look way better, not a fan of brightly coloured seats either.

Swoop looks nicer I reckon. Don't get me wrong, the blue 34 is dream material but painting calipers and wheels all blue, it just doesn't seem right to me.

Gemini's get painted calipers and blue interior and 2pac on the wheels, all I can see here is a car with a lot of class made less classy as a result.

My 2c.

Phwoar :D Much better :D Everyone was disappointed when it made such a low figure, good to see it running healthy again!

P.S. I agree that the rims and retrim detract from the classiness of the car quite a bit...

Swoop wins hands down.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
