really man, one of the core elements i've always seen shine through all the BS is true enthusiasm, and thats what the Z car is based on, true enthusiasts, and i am a true Z car enthusiasts, i work with nissan racecars as a hobby (a very important hobby) and through the years, the Z owners i meet are never immature enough to outcast other nissans/enthusiasts... they enjoy it equally, of course they prefer the Z, but they are usually... USUALLY mature enough to think out of the box...

So i say this in regards.... if you feel that such a Z/nissan enthusiast as myself should not post pics of wheels i just purchased (in the wheels section) because htey arent going on a 350z, please contact a moderator and let he/she decide whether or not to delete the thread...

then, if said moderator wishes me to only talk about 350z and nothing else (s14) then i will wait to sign back into "my350z.com" until june 2007 when i purchase my first new car once i graduate from college, which will be a ... (you guessed it) ... 350z... i can deal with this, but i have no patience for 350Z elitests who may or may not know much more of the basics... meanwhile i'll be building TT and single turbo VQ's for the local 350 society...

like i said, im open for interpretation... and being as mature as possible in said "given situation"...
Well the only reason why I brought it up because it is a subforum of 350Z tech forum-brakes and suspension

I opened it up to see what other Z owners where doing as far as wheels/offsets/tires

Sorry, if you took it the wrong way.

I own both an S14 and a Z but, being a newbie on a forum doesn't make a me a newb, just a newb by default.

here are my two toys



fyi, i like lips too - these are going on my s14 once its out of the paint shop

omg. That is by far the worst stretch I've EVER seen. Like the other guys said, why even have tires? lol!!! Your tire guy must have laughed his a$$ off when you requested that setup.

Get real! Take your initial-D fanboy dreams elsewhere.

PS. Drift Cars are not race cars. They are built to slide, not handle well.

1. WTF is initial d

thats exactly it my man, i have noticed that the most immature of Z onwers are z33 owners, because half of them buy the car to impress people while the other half are true entusiasts... whereas all 240z owners buy the car for pure enjoyment....

oh well, you get way too many smart *** wannabes who think they are hot **** because they have a 30 thousand dollar car and they just wanna be seen in it...

when i buy my 350, i'll beat up like a virgin on prom night and show you pics for proof...

i know, being a "R" word, and owning a ricey car is my #1 priority!!!

you guys can think or say whatever' on your minds, it doesn't bother me, especially when people take a stab with the "R" word in hopes to sound cool, when its plain to see that the car is built right, and built to ****.

i do things the right way, for my "hobby" and style of driving. its proven, it works, end of story...
