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.

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.

Time to sell my beloved Golf MK3.. any takers? two weeks of driving on 40 bucks juice. 36,000ks on the clock, manual, exhaust, system, new engine, reliable as.‎5k ono reg till oct. Has perelli tyres I'n good nik. Giv me an Offer.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
