Hey LAdz, the reason i ask this is becuase i have a White R33 with some 18s and i hate the silver colour that they are, so i want to get them powder coated white....

what are your thoughts on white cars with white rims?

Depends what car, and what kind of rims - but I've seen a few cars lately that are white with white rims, and they look awesome!

I think, if the rim isn't too overdone, white would look really good. I saw one on a Honda a couple of weeks back, and they looked awesome.

I'm warming to the white on white. Personally metallic grey or gold would suit white the most, but i've seen a few white on white that look alright too. All depends on your choice of rims. Definately must have a chrome edge if you're going white.

I reckon it'd look pretty good, just my opinion though. Also, by any chance would you have a photo of your car you could post up?

dont do it...i like white rims on white 33's...but only 5-6 spoke type, personally I think those wheels (cheeta) will look tacky if powdercoated white on a white car. wrong style rims for white.

just my 2 cents....each to there own. so long as everytime you walk back to your car you like the way it looks....who cares what we all think

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
