Digsy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My main concern with exhausts is the sound they make, and not the amount of dB. That's exactly why I bought the NISMO not some cheaper substitute that looked like a dustbin. then you want to buy cheapo wheels???? Oi!!! NISMO zorst because the sound (not the noise) is what I'm buying it for, cheapo wheels because the look (not the nth degree of handling poise) is what I'm after. Plus I can't afford decent wheels because I bought the zorst!!!!! Anyway, wheels look like they're off the menu at the moment...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_350z Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 After reading this thread, sifting away the banter, I'm still none the wiser if this is the place to jump n the bandwagon and get a Nismo exhaust. I liked the sound of them on the weekend meet. If I can get one at a reasonable price I would upgrade, but I think the standard sounds lovely anyway so if the price aint right then I won't be too bothered Same for the wheels - I like th Rays, but I have to say those rims looked lovely on Max, Liam, Val + Lomoto's Zs. What's the average price? A grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the average price? A grand? A grand for the type Max and Lomoto have (but be prepared for "cheapo" and "heavy" comments from The Zedfather (Val )) but nearer £2k for somthing like Vals. Liam's are second hand but I imagine the new price would be around £2k too. Don't forget there's another £450 plus for tyres. Good luck.

stevie_350z Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 So, if I went list price, then I could pay up to 2.5k for a set of decent, first-hand, quality (light, tought, etc) wheels + tyres? @*!# the bed, that money could could solve world peace! I don't like the idea of buying second hand cos I'm worried about buying wheels that are "odd" in some way, such as buckled or something - not being an alloy specialist, how the hell do I check that they are ok? Roll them down the hill see if they go straight? Anyhoo, as I don't have any cash (as you all saw at Bala when I had to borrow the parking meter fare) its all moot... but I have another question for you: when's the best time to buy? Surely this would be winter? I think the Rays are OK. I think I would only upgrade when, in a few years time, I decide whether to keep The Beast or not. At the moment, after that fab weekend, I'm planning on keeping him (yes, my car is a him - I'd never "go" with a woman who is built like that! And before you ask, its more "brother" than "lover" LMAO Then again, I just have to wait until Lomoto gets bored then buy his! He does alright for a guy who "never had a proper job in his life". Yeah, yeah, Tim, pull the other its got a Nismo exhaust on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'll let you know Stevie when those heavy old wheels are up for grabs ps quote of the day from stevie."....has anyone got any change for the meter" (how much do you want ? ) ... "£3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 stevie I'd rather get a set of second hand top quality wheels than brand new cheapos imo you can always go for complete refurbs like Liam has done on his set of proper wheels (the Volks) but you can't change the way the wheels are made!

I would have gone down that route but decent sets just don't seem to come up that often. I have to say Steve's right about damage - I'd only buy from someone on here or the other side, not e-scam....
