yeah i'm all for people going for what they think looks good. but i have no time for rediculous flat chrome pizzapans like you see on so many mercs, beemers and pretty much any rice'd up honda/pulsar/gemmi/etc etc etc because, it seems, people only go for those cos they're "sik like queen st!"

having said that, the right chrome looks fat! i saw a bbbig 70's black merc the other day with chrome wire wheels (20's or 21's) and it looked awesome and also very individual. spinners are somehow mesmerisingly awesome too... but its the combo of car that matters.... if you've got a black car, black rims imo look crap. same for white on white etc... its all about matching your rims to your car imo.

and yes slithers rims are cool but while being showy, they're not flat out bling. they look almost purposeful and one of the nicer chrome styles i've ever seen...

oh and spotted red 34 gtt fyshwick yesterday. white 33 gtr today gold bbs lm's civic mid afternoon and gunmetal gtr w/ the mesh sparco rims "YCO xxx or something" parcark across from the convention centre today too.

Spotted a few 'lines while down in Woden today. A silver 33 GTR parked along that st out the front where the hoyts entrance is, and a few GTSTs (Black 33, white 32) in the carpark, and a white 32 GTR turning off at the lights on Barry drive near ANU/Apple center.

Spotted a new MX5 and an EF XR6 shoot past me on Commonwealth bridge this morning about 8:05, having a bit of an acceleration comparison, but then they got 0wn3d by a cop with a radar gun

(phew, and I was all ready to give them both the chop)

Oh and the Mazda was laying the smackdown

Spotted a black 32 with major front end damage on the back of a tow truck yesterday. Hope it was nobody here! Spotted a white R34 on the parkway at the same time, very nice.

On the issue with the wheels. I personally don’t like my wheels! During the current process of taking it off the road I hope to fix that. Admittedly I am a “size” man though. I love big wheels! 20s are what I am sourcing next but in a big polished dish style in 5 spoke (silver not chrome). Having said that. I saw some in chrome that just looked awesome!

If I had a choice and money was no object I would source some 20s from volk. In 19’s my favourites are the GTC’s and the blitz technospeeds.

Oh and Nath, I wasn’t having a go at you I was just saying that it didn’t look as lethal as when Jon had it. As I’ve said I generally prefer Jap spec over chrome spec. (I actually loved the way Jon made his look.) But I would love to see it slammed down on the wheels again, it will look good with your rims and that same ride height. Maybe it was because I could only see it from behind… I don’t know. Anyways probably a dumb comment to make in the first place, sorry.

Nah it's all good Stevie, I got a lil too defensive I think lol. As I said I'm just not a total fan of chrome wheels on most skylines. I agree Jon did have a good look with it slammed on the ground, I will, but just haven't had the time to wind the coilovers down yet. It will soon I promise and will look much better than it is :D

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • 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
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • 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.
