New 370GT owner
Hey all
I'm from Australia, but currently working in Japan.
I just got my 2007 Skyline coupe a couple of months ago with the plan to import to Australia next year. It's a grey 6mt with factory fujitsubo axleback exhaust. Previous owner had put on 22inch rear 21inch front black and orange lowenhart rims, made it undriveable, rubbing under acceleration.
Just did a gymkhana event the other day, and after realising how quiet the car is, I'm researching intakes and exhausts
Will post pics at a later date, currently on the tablet.

Welcome on board mate! Are you planning on swapping the wheels?

Hey all, thanks for the welcome.
Here are some pictures of the rim. I pretty much took the rims off straight away and put the stock ones back on (only one I could find in a hurry).

The truck that delivered the car could barely fit the belt that straps the wheels down...

Massive neg. camber required to fit it in there.

The previous owner also painted the inside, I don't mind the colour scheme.

Gymkhana with 22inch rims was difficult, to say the least... I also didn't have the handbrake set up, so couldn't really break the rear tyres loose at all. Still great fun though.
Got an impul front spoiler coming next week, and about to purchase R2C intakes from the good ol' US of A.
The worst part of all this is that I have to revert back to stock in order to import into Austraila
Next on the cards, look into JDM exhausts and wheels.

I've already got the amuse exhaust and the r2c is at the post office, waiting for me to pick it up... I might get a y-pipe later on though
