Doesn't buying fake TE37's defeat the purpose of buying Te37's all together. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the value in the lightweight / strength / quality your getting? Without this all your left with is the image, in which case everyone will be commenting

Them nice Volk's

You: oh thanks but actually they're fake

Them: eh?

You: Yeh they're VoRRRk's not Volks

Them: LOL

I guess it's also possible to take the sticker off and put a real Volk sticker in its place depending on how desperate someone is to convince onlookers your Vorks are fake with genuine Volk stickers, which then begs the question if all that matters is the image, then just buy some chromies.

lol its one of those things though isn't it - some people have the $ to go all out, some dont and want to get a similar look/performance increase for cheap, and others are happy with plain jane stock wheels!

I have te37's but even if I didnt, I think id prefer stockers to rip offs, its like buying a fake handbag for your signifigant other and trying to pass it off as the real thing imo

Trying to pass off VORKS as VOLKS is a bit like a transvestite trying to pass off as a female, every now and then some poor bloke finds out the hard way. Moral of the story is no matter how good it looks at the time, at the end of the day you never end up with the real thing.

Like driving a non-turbo Skyline?

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
