i dunno whether its just my perspective or not but i think that in the past year or 2 the emphasis on imports has headed strongly towards drifting. i remember when i first got into imports. it was so cool to put a gtr badge on ur car, get batman chrome wheels and a veilside bodykit. even i thought so. i like a bit of tasteful rice i.e. BN/ vertex body kits, minus rear wing and dished jap rims but i really don't see the appeal of making ur car look like a dodgey batmobile. Have chrome wheels and batman body kits gone out of style or is it just me?

and...

not really related too much to this topic but why isn't there any decent wheel manufacturers in aus!!!!? i suppose R#H and Sp33dy supply for their market but there is a serious lack of any quality respectable rims made in aus. surely there is a market for it. drift r's... well the thought was there... drift rims don't usually weight 100ks each though do they? I think there would be others out there that would really appreciate an aus conmpany putting in a genuine effort to supply for this demand.

in my mind veilside kit still looks very nice, but as it attract too much of attention, i will put something low profile but still looks good.

Chrome wheel arn't that bad, but aust. car owner now only interest at light weight jap wheel.

first thing is they think every jap wheel are light weight but actual they aren't.

And famous wheels maker like "Volk" & "work" do manufacture chrome wheel!

AVS wheel model 5 which using on GT300 - is available in chrome!

i think australia wheel manufacturer have already try their best, sure they know how to make light weight wheels, but they have to keep the wheel strong enough for commie they have to make it heavy.

Forge technology seems to be too expensive and won't make the money, if they are selling Roh wheels for 1000 each, how many people will buy them? the real thing is every people love them but not much people able to afford them, see TE37 is how rare in adelaide? even u seen a car wearing them, they migh be second hand...

what's wrong with a vertex or BN sports kit lol you just named the 2 kits that I own and am deciding to put on my wingless R32 (the other will then go for sale, yes I bought both, no I'm not nuts) :rant: quite possibly to go with Gram Lights bronze/chrome deep dish rims which I'm sourcing from Japan.

hmmm never liked veilside, never will, their kits look like duck beaks or F1 fighter jets, not aggressive cars. I used to have a bomex S15 kit on my 180sx, but now that I have the 32, its all about clean lines and aggressive stance. The BN and vertex kit were made with mad camber in mind which means I can fit wider rims and still stay legal (albeit with higher tyre wear).

In other rice news I also own an HKS CAMP and a Bee-R Rev limiter :) Oh and a factory option light up skyline panel.

maxx: when i made mention to "batman chome wheels" i was sorta talkin more about the ones that look like they have been designed by a toddler who is just learning to draw. u know the ones with no dish and and "fancy" designs. if it's a wheel, it should look like a wheel. every man to his own though aye.

funkymonkey: those gramlights ur talkin bout... are they the gl57f pro's... mine will be ariving next week. damn! i thought i was goin to be the only 1!! oh well.

BN sports is probably one of the least ricey looking IMHO, very tough phat and drifty looking:)  the front bar for an R33 doesnt do it for me though, but R32, S13/14, FD3, hmm tasty.

Really hav'nt liked anything to come out of Veilside with the exceptions of RX7 kit and Integra, But the R34 GTR kit is terrible.

One kit i really like is the Top Secret R34 front spoiler, u can fit huge intercoolers :wassup: and the front isn't as low as my stand lip ( :rant: which i scrap constantly on Adelaide roads :))

Well in my opinion i think the word "RICE' has been taken way too far.

Like everything these days is "RICE"

Owning an import as clasified as rice to some people and it really shit's me.

But thats my opinion anyway. But i can tell you there is about to be an influx of BN kits for 32's and 33's

We have already sold 6 or 7 BN's JUST for 33's unsure about the 32's

But yeah the BN kits for 32's and 33's are awesome!

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      By ValgeKotkas · Posted

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
