tried some new wheels today...

[berger]

mate has a nissan r33 skyline, and for the fun of it, decided to see if the wheels would fit, and they do, huzzah!!





only one wheel at a time... still, give me an idea how cool it can look

let me know what yas think

[berger]

I also installed a new JVC dvd player, and an in-dash 7inch wide screen monitor.

[-JJ-]

Looking good mate, and the rims from a r33 fit, very interesting, what is the offset on one of them?

[berger]

the offset?, no idea

i do know that my tyres would not fit on the skyline though, their calipers(i think, not very mech minded) hit the subies wheels

anyways, i know, when hunting for new wheels, i can get any off a Skyline.. makes it a bit easier to find.

looks sharp!

forget about the tires, I want to know where you got that cool rear antenna and what the radio reception is like -- that antenna top must be 9 feet wide -- is it OEM?

[RSVX]

The clothes hangar? LOL

And, being of steel pipe construction, prove to be strong and effective receivers.

Features:
- Strong steel piping central pole ("Central Support Unit") construction.
- Pivot mechanism that will negate torque forces put on the central support unit.
- Winding mechanism for elevation adjustment.
- Rust-free wire design.
- Simple servicing (simply add oil to the single oil hole)
- Eliminates needs for guy ropes or secondary support pylons.

Attaching to the car is best done through the top of the rear deck; simply drill down through it, and thread the bottom of the central support. Use an adaptor (a local toolmaker could do this) and use this on the existing seating for the spare wheel hub. (Thus, your spare wheel will now be held in place with the central support unit running through the centre of it.)

Additional Advantages:
- Will aid in recognising your car in busy car-parks
- Can also be used to hang wet clothes on (to enable them to dry).

I can organise one to be packed up and delivered (one owner, 25 years young, tension is still good, serviced regularly, oil is still good) to you via any freight company, you just book it and I'll get it sent. I will charge $450 (plus postage )for the unit I have in stock, and I can source other units to meet demand.

Accessories list (none supplied unless requested):
- Chuck of concrete to fit most 'backyard holes' (comes attached to the bottom end of the central support unit) => $14.00
- 50 Clothes Pegs => $9.95
- Peg Basket (hangs neatly on the line) => $4.85
- Small child / cat / birds nest (aesthetic purposes only) =>between $10.00 through to $5000 (for a Top Of The Line Birds Nest.)
- Bird droppings => free

Simply add your name, address, credit card details and desired accessories to your reply in this thread, and I will endeavour to get back to you.

Our developers are working hard, and we hope to see more innovative designs coming to a car near you!

Got mine not long ago, works great, installed just how McTaff said it would, now i never lose reception anywhere, also helps dry whites whiter





Cheers,

[berger]

[McTaff]

See? It's an uncommissioned testimonial from an unbiased third party! Another satisfied customer!

You guys make me laugh...clotheslines.

As to the wheels, Skylines run about 38-40mm offset from memory, although the dorifto boys seem to be reducing that further in order to get the fully sik look.

I had R34GTT factory wheels on mine, 17x8's, and they fitted fine. If anything, I would have run less offset if I could so that they filled the guards more.

Rob...the other wheels look great.
