Talking 2003 DP with 18" Tork Matrix Hyper Black

It's an original JDM Skyline 250GT (VQ25DD) - basically a RHD G35 with a smaller V6

The wheels are fitted with Nitto Neogens in 245/45-18. I didn't want the Nittos (wanted BFGs) but they came with the wheels . And before you ask, no, I can't lower it. It scrapes the driveway as it is if I have a single passenger in it or if the tank is full.







That's my Blackberry on the lip

Wheels are nice, I also like your grill. Can't you lower it on springs with higher rates? It'd be stiffer but shouldn't bottom out.

I'd love to hear what your engine sounds like...

The problem isnt the stiffness, it's the height. Even if I go down at a dead crawl it would scrape. I'd have to leave it in the road I was checking out some in-cabin height adjusters (I think Tein sells a kit that works with any of their coilover) but they would bankrupt me! Only other choice would be airbags, and I haven't seen a lot of people do that to G's.

DP FTW!

Not a big fan of the wheels, foggy headlights, grill, black side skirt or the 4x4 look... But that DP sure is a winner! These are just my opinions so don't worry about ignoring me.

I think a black OEM grill would look better... can you MOD your driveway to make easier to ride up?
