Nissan GTR on bricks

[SMKurt]

Done a search but couldn't see this anywhere else.

I've seen the Bentleys on bricks but this is the first GTR i've seen.

Im surprised they didnt take the brakes.

Is that the damage inflicted by putting it on a fecking brick? Why god, why?! I will take this car off their hands free of charge, they clearly can't look after it!

EDIT: Hold on, the wheels were stolen? They'd look pretty out place on anything other than a GTR, how would you even go about flogging those down the Dog and bk?

Strange post. I don't think the owner intended it to be put on bricks.

Not much for a decent jack and axle stands these days, especially if you have enough money to run one of these

Edited to add I am actually being ironical as I'm sure the other chap was also?

I'm assuming the wheels have been stolen?

First thing that came to mind was that it had been put on a brick as a kind of inadequate jackstand!

So much for that 50/50 weight distribution.

Was thinking the same thing

Next up- Why would you pan in your own window in and scratch PAEDO down it's side?

I doubt the fking thieving quarter wits would know how

[Wadeski]

I'm guessing those wheels will be off in eastern europe by now, not down a car boot sale!

Why would someone send wheels they've stolen from a car in Florida to Eastern Europe?

And presumably by VDubbers eh, PH?

Exactly what I thought!

That damage is going to cost some serious money to put right!

[Wadeski]

oh i assumed it was in the UK lol

[Flanders.]

Coming to a Nissan Cedric near you soon.

Maybe the market has room for a wheel engraving service, a unique code engraved deep into the alloy, like a logo. If only I wasn't so fking bone idle I'd look into it myself

1) Cause obviously that brick was put right at the Centre point wasn't it.
2) That damage. would cost a fair bit to put back 100% But tbh it's so trivial of it was my car I think i'd just do the cosmetic parts.

Yes, 50:50 weight distribution will refer to the corner weights- the brick clearly isn't in the middle of the wheelbase. Also, a quick Bing search reveals that it's actually 53:47 weight distribution, apparently so it ends up as 50:50 under full accelerative load (it's definitely not accelerating!).

In terms of the damage, I reckon those wheels will be so costly it would be cheaper to go through insurance, so I imagine they'll get the whole thing fixed (if thats even possible). Certainly not a Kwik Fit job, as I understand the wheels have some electronic sensors in them which would presumably need to be linked to the car upon fitment.

im hoping at least one of you had their tongue in their cheek
