hey shan, since 180s came out with na sr20s factory, can i buy a roller and fit a de?

putting up sale add now

no, were you fuckin dropped on your head as a baby? factory N/A chassis only. 0.5l larger engine (going from RB20DE to RB25DE) still has to be on an N/A chassis. The state doesn't give a fuck if your car has no turbo even though it rolled off the factory floor as a turbo.... unless you're willing to spend about 1.5k engineering it to show otherwise.

Should I cancel the F/S ad and buy the wheels off Shan?

It'd look good even if I set it on fire.

No because:

1. you lack the testicular fortitude to pull them off properly, then will have an emo whinge about how they don't suit your car etc.

2. they aren't for sale

3. refer to 1.

masssive wheels on a gtr is pointless they arent made for the stance scene they are for the go fast scene

you've been hangin round these "omfg my car is a track day superstar and can potentially lap Tskuba in 0:59 seconds even though the only upgrade I've done to it since it rolled out of the factory is a paintjob to hide the dents I copped int he supermarket carpark and a new shift knob and some airfreshner" crew for too long, starting to rub off on you son.

sam, you might wanna mention that its an auto...

wait... wut? it's an auto?

BAHAHAHAHA and you're worried about 4 studs having herpes? lolololol

get a car that's meant to be NA

any vtec honda over any non turbo skyline anyday

so you'd take a 2.0 VTEC CRV over an N/A R32 GTS25?

Have you even driven an N/A skyline? I agree an Integra Type R or S2000 would be 100% more fun than any N/A R32/R33/silvia etc, but some of the VTAK sleds are complete shithouse at handling, which you kinda hope to hell they do being FWD.

at the end of the day you'll be driving an NA skyline and at the same time wishing it was turbo and that ruins the whole thing, it did for me anyway. made a 4K profit after selling it like 4 months after buying it

personally if I had that kinda restriction I'd get a EG6 Civic SiR, Golf MK3 VR6, BMW 325i, 2L S13 or 180SX, or MX5

if you can't have a powerful engine, then you make sure the car is as light as it can be, the suspension and balance is off its tits and the engine is as big as it can be.

pick of the bunch would have to be 1996/97 MK3 VR6. 2.9L 6 cylinder engine in a chassis that was tight and handled well. no VTAK or skyline would stand a chance.

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
