I want pics. White R33 on BBS LMs can't be anything short of an involuntary orgasm.

So you can get 700-800whp relatively easily and run 10's on street tires
Yeah i know...I dont see what the big deal is
Funny thing is that you can do the same thing with a 3000GT VR4. Yes the drivetrain on the skyline is stronger but that is only because it lets the rear wheels spin before sending power to the front, lessening the initial shock that breaks parts.

That's a smooth looking ride. I don't even mind the wing all that much.

Damn, I was hoping for gold LMs. Still sexy, though. R33's are funny because their headlights make them look so sad... Haha

my dream is to own a R33.. its just perfect IMO. My next car will probably be a RWD or AWD car. Though this is my first car I just dont really like FWD.. it sucks. though i do like the gas mileage I get

Im driving my dads GMC Envoy bc some wire was eaten away by my serpentine belt [stupid mechanics], and ive already had to fill it up twice within a week

I cant believe I'm saying this, but for some reason (maybe just the angle) those LM's dont look like they fit the car at all. On the other hand, they do have more lip then I imagined, but still not enough.

Gold centers, wheel spacers, lowered tad bit more, done.

Are all side mirrors painted to match on R33/VSpecs?
