I don't know too much about the TC and I'm curious too. The modding bug is biting on me so I'm trying to figure out what to get for her.

Has to speed for sure.

I'm getting Intake and headers, Mid and S-Pipe after I get my springs/sways/struts installed.

I just need to know what kind of Intake I should consider if I'm going to be using the TRD S/C.

And which header others would recommend.


The thing about wheels is, those 17x8.5's wont mean much if I'm not pushing hard on them.

The SUPER ADVAN's are eye bleedingly expensive.

What do you all think of these wheels?

This is the Gram-Light 57-Pro



And these are Gram Light 57s-Pro

Luckily for me, they are also painfully expensive. =D

Just not as painfully expensive.

Well, this is how it goes

The SUPER ADVAN's are on back order in Japan, and requires a 3 month waiting period. On top of that with tax and import fees, they come out to $2,700 dollars out the with tax. Now that's without rubbers, just the wheels.

The Gram Light 57 Pro's are $2,000, and the Gram Light 57 Max's are $2,200


Keep in mind, these are all lightweight, fully forged wheels.

Which way should I go? The ADVAN's are my dreams, but maybe I shouldn't go so "Ferrari" for my first set of wheels.

Well you know you're getting a quality product.

Volk and Gram Lights, they're all still Rays' Wheels.

The Gramlights are just light weight concept wheels.

I still really want the SUPER ADVANS, but $2,700! I don't know.

I'm thinking I'm going to settle with Enkei RPF1's in Gold.

I'll spend that much money on rims when I have a Skyline.
