I saw that photo and fell inlove with it. Are those RP1's the 10.5 + 15? It looks like it has a 265 tyre on it too.

Well spotted!! RPF1 in 18 x 10.5 +15 with 265/35/18s

Tyre's are a tad stretched for me so might replace them with 275s next I reckon. Pipe also sits a bee's D*&% off 100mm so the 275's will prolly just take it to legal with the tiny extra sidewall.

There are no spacers on there either in case you're wondering.

Thanks for the comments too guys. How people think 33 GTRs are ugly is beyond me. hahaha...... (although I have seem some horrid looking ones if I'm honest.)

Any rubbing at all? They are such a great looking rim and not bad on the pocket either. How are they with brake clearance?

Thanks mate, I got them off the net from the US, with the strong dollar, they're even cheaper now.

Only time it rubs is on full lock on uneven ground. No problem at all.

Progress shot of the weekends work. Lol, Can't even count the number of hours left in this job.

At least its made the Skyline fun again. Its funny how the fun stops when the build stops.

Cheers. Luke

Has anyone had the spoiler taken off and had the boot shaved to leave a sort of "batman head" style look with the side guards rising up over the boot? I haven't seen it but the picture i have in my head of how it looks is awesome

Hey guys. I've been meaning to add a pic of mine up here for a while now.

I've done a couple of track days, but it's still driven literally every day of the week, so the modifications are generally mild.

Keen to hear what you guys think!

I'm also keen to get some decent photoshoot style pics, but want to find a half interesting location.

    • This one isn't "on the street" per se, but it was on the street just prior to the photos being taken..... Mitsuoka Nouera, based on a CL7 Honda Accord. It was in the carpark of the Hanshin Nishinomiya train station "Ebista" shopping mall. I'd say they are very rare compared to other Mitsuoka models.
    • Do the shapes of the rice crisps really conform to the individual car model shapes or is it a bit of a stretch? I mean, do you know you're eating a BNR32 GT-R after having grabbed one from the can? 😁  
    • Yeah, pure laziness My main reason for the change is the local crappy roads, car felt great going up the Mac Pass, and then back down the long way home via Jamberoo Mountain Road after ramming a sausage roll and coffee down the gullet  But as stated, good reason to head back down for a pie or sausage roll and coffee  Some nice cars turned up at the pie shop, my fave was a mint V8 Soarer coupe, the condition of it was truly awesome  Edit: plus to adjust the dampening I need to remove the OEM front strut brace, because it covers them, and remove some of the rear boot trim, I did have my little tool kit with everything required to do it with me, but, yeah, laziness 
    • Any reason you didn't, like... change it while at the Pie shop so you could compare them on the way back? (all the more reason to go for another drive I suppose)
    • After a lovely little cruise up Mac Pass into Robertson pie shop on the weekend, and all the daily driving on our crappy roads, I decided to soften up the dampers a bit I've gone from 13 clicks from full soft to 9 clicks on the front, and from 8 clicks full soft to 4 clicks on the rear Whilst the car did handle great before, on smooth roads, it was a little bit harsh on pot holes and joins in the road, but only in the rear Also, my uneducated assumption is you need more dampening in the front compared to the rear, hence the front is set a little harder by 5  Will this help the budget spec BC RS coilovers on bumpy roads, I'm hopeful.....
