Hi cefiro_drifta, and welcome to the forum, hope you have lots of enjoyment with your Merc.

 

[cefiro_drifta]

thanks Phil

TBH i was dissapointed in the performance considering its 2.3 S/C

BUT i am used to light weight highish powered jap cars so i shouldnt be to picky

need to find some wheels and some coilovers for it

 

[philayl]

As you say, you bought it as your "comfy driver", so sit back and enjo, let the miles roll by!

 

[cefiro_drifta]

Hi & welcome, the skyline is certainly a rare car, however quite a big jap import scene here in Scotland. Enjoy the merc.

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

Say - your fellow-drifters in Saudi aren't very good are they?

hahah those idiots in saudi arent technically drifting as they mainly use FWD and its impossible to drift properly , they just doin wat most chavs do in a mac donalds car park with trays under the wheels only at 5 times the speed haha

Picking up the Merc tomorrow and cant wait, its been sitting for a while so first up is a good service and then some change of belts as the last think i need to go wrong is the belts snapping

Have a mate in Rotterdam who managed to find me some very euro style wheels so they will be coming over mid next month............. 9x16 et13 with LOTS of dish

I expect your aware already but if not Mercedes wheels centre on the hub and not the bolts so you need hubcentric wheels or adaptors to fit.

these wheels are 5x112 so its all good there and as for the centerbore i have a feeling it might be a lil small as i think they from a VW which are 55 or 57mm and if im right merc are 66 ????? nothing a 5mm spacer wont fix. I have been running no hubsentric wheels and wheels with 5,8 and 10mm slip on spacers on my drift car with out any issues so shouldnt be to much fo a proplem

are merc a stud and seperate nut setup up for wheels or are they like older BMW's which use that horrible setup with no petruding stud off the hub ??

 

[cefiro_drifta]

right here she is ... lovely comfy car to drive but a lil tame and understated compared to what im used to but it def has some good low down torque and with only 85k on the clock it feels liek new still..

only issue is my other 200sx hasnt sold as got messed about so im so hoping i dont need to sell it soon
