If you're reading this - you probably have 5 10mm sockets, and don't know where any of them are. As a team of passionate car enthusiasts, we know the feeling 😅 Welcome to our channel. We'll be building cars, teaching you about wheels, and everything in between. We've also got a pretty sick website which is LITERALLY the best place on the internet to get wheels and tires 💥💥 Plus - our gallery lets you show off your build, participate in our fitment battles, and get featured on our pages and channel.

They've gone up in price. I think eventually they will be collectable. I have an 04 maual and love it. Parts become an issue, but that's to be expected. I'd rather have it than a garden variety camero or stang.
Hey man thanks for the info, but could use a little more help here, what could be the best Tyre size for a flush fitment to Corolla AE110? Should I also meddle with the suspensions by adding aftermarket? Tx ❤ 🇱🇰
Build around a spec and see what you get. To say the Japanese automakers stuck to "around 280hp" and behold. Yeah 300hp-320hp was typical then but most people just assumed they were opened up some when shipped out of Japan. If you had to build a car for a racing series, say Trans-Am, which its famous 5.0L/305ci engine limit, could you imagine how the Mustang and Camaro/Firebird would have evolved. Chyrsler would have had a credible entry then too. Maybe they would have kept the Eagle/AMX
Skylines are just over hyped junk. The camshafts break like they're made of glass, original parts are impossible to find and are super expensive and they're not even that fast.
Australian here and have owned skylines most of my life. Only have s chassis these days but one still has an RB in it lol. Original parts aren't the easiest to find interior wise or panel wise. Motors , transmissions , diffs and brakes never had an issue. Have swapped many camshafts in them over the years I always used HKS cams in mine haven't used tomie. The biggest mistakes a lot of people make is not torquing them in sequence and over torquing them. From memory they're only around 10nm or 7 ft lbs. You need to bring them down in sequence and go one to two turns at a time to bring the cams down evenly as you're compressing the valve springs and the springs are definitely stronger than the camshafts if one end is compressing them and the other end is pushing up against the lobes. Think about it if you overload one end of the camshaft compressing the springs and then try and do up say the rear cam brackets you're going to be trying to bend the shafts and that's when they break. This is doable in a lot of engines with camshafts without rocker arms from motorcycles to cars.
@@ThreepieceUs i know but for affordability and fun i would take an s2000. Skylines are not cars you skimp money on purchasing same with any hypercar. You buy it without even checking the price
I got a 04 modified and my cousin loved mine so much he bought a 05 we love to cruise this is his first car that is slowly turning him into a car guy 🤣😂 its such a great handling car and he can still take the wife and kids wherever
As an owner of an 02, 3.2 liter, 6 speed, Porsche 986 Boxster S with Fabspeed Exhaust, catless headers, IPD Plenum/TB, Numeric shifter, Bilstein performance struts, H&R lowering springs, Polyurethane GT3 front bumper, side skirts, modified GT3 rear bumper, etc.... The 18x10 in staggered set if Sport Classic BBS rims in silver were one of (if not the) most impressive modifications thus far! The BBS Sport Classics were the rims featured on the greatest Porsche race machine ever created; the Porsche "911 GT1" in it's latest stage if development of course. Thus they were a perfect fit for my little project. Perfect wheels; compliments the car so well! 😍
Good luck with your channel... hope it allows you guys to keep having fun. Not the content I'm lookin for but proud you guys have the means to do this for fun
Appreciate that! At the end of the day we do this to bring more attention to our actual business which is wheels and tires, just so happens we get to have fun in the process
I wanted one since the first time it aired on Top Gear, that red vauxhall monaro with jabs at the Aussies regarding a recent rugby match featuring non-stop oversteer. Bob Lutz brought it to America and I went to some Pontiac dealers the few years it was available for sale. They all put shitty wheels and tint and tarted them up and skyrocketed the msrp. Pretty soon after that all the Pontiac dealers shuttered, they definitely helped kill the brand and I was never able to buy an unmolested GTO.
I think that was the point that made a lot of us want them! You’re completely right. US dealers absolutely ruined these cars. You can still find some very very clean examples out there but owners are asking entirely too much Were only 5 ish years away from being able to import the VZ so hopefully that brings prices down
