Someone said, "Clothes Maketh The Man"

Does that translate here into "Wheels Maketh How A Car Looks?"

...understanding of course that a lot depends on the colour of the car's 'skin' !!!

First up...

That's always nice! ^ ^ ^

And this beggars the Question...

Do some rims not suit the car's body colour???

Our cars are blue Owen and when my car was delivered it was shod with Bronze LMGT4s - now if they were only White > magic; but Bronze > yuk (> much s*xier on black body)

Work Meisters Defiantly!

The enkei's are nice, however i think they are more suited to WRX'S and Evos.

I'm quite a large fan of white on white, i might be somewhat biased though, Black on black is so last year :P

The guy I bought it off only put the LM GT3's on it about 6 months before I bought it; before that he had some Dolce's on it.... 19x8's. EWWWWW. Chrome doesn't suit ANY Skyline. (IMO anyway).

I guess it comes down to body shape too; I wouldn't put black wheels on any white car, but hey, some body shapes (Evo 10 maybe?) it might suit.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
