Has to make a comment about everyone's wheels.

Have you ever stopped to think...maybe the owner likes them?

+1

but it all comes down to the primary use of the car.

If its just being driven as a daily, 200kw-300kw wont do much good in peak hour traffic. Hence they spend money on cosmetics.

or you can spend it on both :P still need suspension tho. Apparently when I launch my sideskirt almost touches the ground and my rim gets hidden under my guards haha

so... the owner has aids, and not the wheel?

sure you can do both but its the way they start which defines the primary use of the car. If you were serious on track work lets say, you would spend money first on proper suspension setup (more than coil overs) than the way the car looks. Rb ryan mentioned preference on functionality as he has a diff view on the primary use for his car. Hella flush may look nice but the sacrifises are not worth it. This is an opinion after all so each to their own.

not really... just stating my opinion.... heaps of people on 86dc rag on my ksev's wheels if it makes you feel any better :P

Yea I'm with you on that hellaflush is for show. Chuck the car on the track with 10 inch wide rims running 215's with massive camber n see how How it handles.

I'd say it'd handle better than a car with 7" wide wheels on a narrower wheelbase, a higher centre of gravity, tyres running at a lower tyre pressure with a lot of flex in the sidewall, and no camber or toe adjustments reuslting in poor cornering.

but apparently everyone in melbourne drives their skylines ready to jump on the track at the drop of a pin.

you'll find most guys who are concerned with stance and fitment pay more attention to suspension settings, so if they go on a track will change to better wheels and most definitely a realignment/readjustment of suspension.

that's what we do anyways, every single time we go to a track event, properly using a laser assisted alignment rack. how often do you "omg hellaflush is so shit on a track" arsemonkeys check your suspension?

you may find a lot of sau guys are intrested in mega kits with rims etc

just basic looks are ok, they seem to be more keen on increasing power and acceleration

nothing wrong with that, im not overlly a fan of all show and no go but your go needs to be relevent to your intended purpose ie, for me i dont need 300rwkw doest mean ill pay out on ppl with that, i prefer a complete package, looks + required amount of go.

plus i just dont like when people post bs about stretched tyres and blah blah

oh and not to mention standard r33's would be one of the ugliest cars nissan created

maybe I should stick some cards in my rear rims to see if I qualify as being 'hellaflush'.

BTW, spacers: aids or acceptable? I know quite a few people who run them, my front rims sit in a little far (probably +35 not +22 like the rears), and people keep telling me to get them, but I always thought they were dangerous and for the gays.

you need hubcentrics there ok i dont use them, i had them and didnt feel the same but heaps off ppl use them no problems so no they arent aids best advice is to get the right size/offset from the outset.

I got spacers in the rear.

It came with the car from Japan.

Save you from buying a staggerd set of wheels.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
