Rims over 18", especially when they have those 'elastic band' tyres. Leave that to the 'pimped up' SUV's.

Local rims such as Incubus. Fcuking disgusting, even on Commodores they look SO bad. I'd pay to NOT use them. :)

Rims with kerb rash.

De-spoilered 33's; leave the 'smoothed' look to Mexicans.

I think "proportional" is the word. Everyone's got their own taste. However, don't over do it.

Personally, I honestly feel Skylines need their rear wings - they look weir without them.

A few badges and stickers here and there aren't too bad - but full blown graphics - I'm against that!

I guess each to their own.

I absolutely hate the look for R33's. Honestly, its like Nissan couldn't choose if they wanted to make it a sports cars or a family car. Dont take it personal you R33 owners...

I also hate the front bumper bar on R32 gts-t's. They are too caved in...

stock height with shitty body kit so the distance between the tire and wheel arch (guard) is at leased 5 to 6 inches lol, those old black spoke with electric red rim wheels, shopping list of audio brands on the back window. all that with the maccas toy hanging off the back.

i said the rear bar because, most of the times i c a r33 skyline, it looks so nice with low front bumper, side skirts but when you look at it from the side the Rear bumper doesnt blend. it looks too high. Nissan should have given rear Pods standard on all 33's.

Try lookin at a skyline wt a factory Bodykit from an angle. maybe u will see what i mean.

My mates r33 with rear pods looks very nice and evn blends with the factory kit.

Oh ok i see where you are coming from. Yeah i hate when people have a front bumper the size of a snow plow 1mm from the ground and than the rest of the car factory height with big gaps in the arches.

    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
    • Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol. 
    • Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
