but yeah, I'm doing my car up at the moment.

done exhaust, suspension air box(replacing with cone for fmic), strut braces.

got in shed, fmic, 040 fuel pump, turbo tech boot controller.

got to get a pod and I'm thinking about brake upgrade. but first I think I'll go too the dentist.

[frankxinyu]

if i can afford they will be:

Os Giken RB30 bottom end with a totally rebuilt Rb26 top

Twin Trust TD06 turbo

Motec M800

Edit: my gear box will be long gone which means a Os Giken Sequential gear box will be needed as well.lol

[Mr. Keets]

what would i get???

a revised limit... 5K is never enough once you get the bug

1. Major service, inc timing belt and brake pads

2. Power FC

3. full exhaust inc dumps

[Tangles]

For '3 items' Id do it wisely and look for some second hand near-new items (go ebay!) and get some new items at discount prices (forums are good for this). So itd have to be 3 different areas of performance for me to justify my cash (my car is auto 4wd Stagea):

a) Exhaust/airflow = full exhaust ($1000), intercooler ($750), CAI box with pod filter ($250)

b) Suspension setup = most of Sydneykids suspn group buy kit ($1800)

b) ECU's = Apexi SAFC, Apexi SITC, Electronic Boost Controller, all dynotuned ($1200)

Around 5k. Ive already done all this and more for a total of 7k, lots of mods. =0 Next one for me is the turbo to make it all 'work together'!

My budget is around 12k of mods on top of my 18k car, over a couple of yrs. If you do it wisely the money can go very far indeed.

[croat]

mine are:

1) nismo cigarette lighter (chiicks love this one!)

2) momo steering wheel (with NOS buttons)

3) titanium annodised tyre caps (gotta keep that air in!)

[Sydneykid]

Suspension, I like to go around corners fast

Exhaust, a must on a turbo engine

Power FC, cause Nissan ECU’s are a pain in the ass.

cheers

2. DBA4000 rotors and Ferodo pads - $500

3. Accessories (wheel, knob, etc ) - ~$?

[Mr. Oizo]

Need a Dump pipe (about) $650 clutch $400ish

$300 for a dump pipe, max

[PTR33]

So far for the Galant I have TD05-16G Turbo, Chipped ECU, 055 AFM and Intake Pipe, 720cc injectors, and a Bosch 040 pump all sitting in a box waiting to be fitted. about $1270.00 so far...

17x7's and 215-45's went on a couple of weeks ago $1080.00 from wheels-online off eBay...

My suspension was already done when the car arrived but a whiteline rear swaybar would help turn-in, $370ish...

Boost controller on the way from Nengun as I type, $417.15...

Exhaust also done, but intercooler piping needs to be upgraded to 2 1/2" $450.00

Need a Dump pipe (about) $650 clutch $400ish and a LSD for the rear diff $????

By my calcs that comes to just about $5k without the diff.

Put together and driven right that's a recipe for a mid-low 12sec VR4 (ok, maybe not with my stiff suspension)

Damn I need that last grand.......

[PTR33]

$300 for a dump pipe, max

Unfortunatly the dump for a VR4 is like a dump and front pipe in one with a flex section in the middle, a decent, split dump that doesn't obstruct the oil filter is not easy to get and not cheap. Almost got me looking at making my own if I can co-ordinate the borrowing of a machine shop and TIG.
