You got it for saying something stupid. What the hell does his family have to do with anything? Who are you to be bagging on someone's intellect?

Why are you using an S13 to drive on crappy roads? Get a pickup.

(By the way, those are YOUR quotes. Perhaps you should take your own advice... Besides, I see pics of his ute at the track. Are YOU using your S13 for the track? Or to go back and forth to school? Maybe YOU should get a pickup.

Save your money. I don't want to see you whining when everyone bags on your POS wheels.

But there is still a difference between criticism and disrespect.

You have no idea what it takes to do a conversion of this level, and the make it strong enough to drift without snapping in half its hard work, and when you disrespect someones hard work it just makes you look stupid wether you like the car or not.

how much are you wanting to spend??if you find out shipping costs i can see what the best deal i can get for you would be.whether you need a wiring loom with it or you go aftermarket??with gearbox??all you need is a rb20de box.unless you wana get the strong r33 rb25det s2 box.and if you want the skyline subframe aswell coz then it bolts straight onto your chassis.i will see what i can find and post a quick cost

so far theres a fully rebuilt rb30det with 80mm throttle body,t70 turbo and gredddy intake,nice reliable motor and thats $3500-4k nzd or you could buy the block and head seperate which together would set you back $600-800 plus $400 for new rings and bearings and then you could get it freashend in america and a box would cost $400-600 for a ok one.work that out is your money and its pretty cheap.shipping could be the only issue

while it would be a unique swap over here in the states, shipping from nz, to the states, then over to the opposite corner of the country would be killer for one pallet's worth of stuff to get started.

either way, shoot me an e-mail, it's in my profile. tell me more about this conversion, maybe i can be swayed to do it.

(well mabey, depending on your familys history of limited intellects)
dude, you are f***ing dumbass.

badass siltruck. looks really well built. my only complaint is the pain scheme, but to each his own.

Yeah, I think thatd be where I saw it (self confessed V8 nut, now seen the light and moved to imports) An RB for everyday use? Yes please Got an offer on an RB30DE out of an R31 (been converted to twincam) for 200 bucks that comes with the car with body damage, but I dont have a car to put it into Seems too much of a deal to pass up but I dont have the space Ahwell lol seems like youll have a lot of fun with the ute

They all suck.

The only one that I ever saw was the K Style one when they first brought it to the US.After that, nope. No other one has been cool, ever.

Bump for question...

OP... or anybody that knows... Can you tell me what wheels are these? I just reread this entire thread and I don't think I saw anyone mentioning them... They look like some sick-azz 4 lugs! And what are the diameter, width and offset front to rear?
