Enkei's arnt fakes. They are not trying to be something there not an are high quality,

Cheap wheels are fine so long as they are not trying to be something they are not. replicas are what ticks me off.

Does this go for everything or just wheels? Say the likes of kit cars? Not the real thing but a replica, and in some instances better than the real thing ( so im told )

Te37's, unlike shelby cobras are readily available, so no not really, its a different situation

Cheap wheels are sometimes fine for posing around on the street, however if you race on them, be prepared to possibly die or stuff it in the wall.

Having said that the number of fakes I see on the dyno that are basically buckled square from hitting tiny ruts in the road daily driving etc is frightening. There are no standards in this game of knock-off wheels, just the temptation to make them as cheap as possible to maximise margins. Thats the price some will pay for vanity.

That's why I use Rays Martin as you know, on the track safety is paramount, I value my life an wouldn't want a major wheel failure at 200km/h

Either needs to hold 240 ish need one cheap utill I can buy somethin decent as I got a drift prac cuming up with low cash so will take what I can get

what engine have you got R34 in a 34 or a neo engine gearbox in something else

poor man pays twice, why not get a reasonable clutch right from now and sort the rest of your shit out after

i can get a good clutch at a decent price just all depends on what you call cheap to quotes you may have received from other places

hey mate neo engine and box in my r32 drift car.mainly after something cheap as i wont have cash to buy something decent before my private day was going to wait till it dies so i can atleast attend and do a skid or 2. im not going to spend anymore then $1000 on clutch. If ure able to get me some prices on and array of a couple clutches would be awesome and highly appreciated

the number of TE37's that ive seen cracked lately from driving around on our shitty roads is also quite high!

+1 I can also vouch for npc clutches, got mine from madaz and simon installed it, i went the 9.5 which is about 100 bucks cheaper than the 10 and its really not that bad at all, no probs in traffic and can handle punishment, so overall great bang for buck clutch, get a quote from madaz

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
