Ok so recently me and few friends were driving along to the shops, and noticed a black R32 with space savers on.. We were like cool he must have popped a tyre and put a space saver on.

But then to our amazement he was driving along as if he had all 4 normal wheels on. Speeding a fair bit and cutting in and out of traffic etc etc..

Now not to long ago i noticed another black r33 with one space saver on.. Didnt think much of it then, but saw him aagin a few days later.. Again with space savers on.

Now today i saw him again driving with it on..

Dont you know that its not safe having it on for long periods of time?? Esp when you drive around like as if you had all normal rims on..

Sigh..

End rant..

i'd slash their space savers to get them off the road and prevent an accident.

this space saver shit must be the new "look at me, I'm a fu(kwit" trend.......the 5" cannon exhaust and the 200 db blowoff and pidgeon in the engine bay trend must be on its way out.

He obviously doesn't pay attention to Skylines in the news or he would have seen the Skyline that crashed because they were driving too fast on a space saver. Didn't one of them die?

Yeah I think a guy and his partner died...and a little boy survived the crash?

Not possible.. :blink:

Read the title and thought "Gees.. this one's going to stir a pot, bit racist.."..

But no - it's ok - it's stupid people being stupid..

Saw a taxi drive driving with one the other day - dropping people off.. went to get the next fare, couldn't believe it..

I was one of the mates with Siddr20. Believe it or not, the 32 with the space saver had positive camber on the space saver wheel. I think you can all work out how positive camber comes about

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
