Ok guys I have plans for an R34 GT-T. J-spec has some for $25000 landed and complied (plus ive notcied one on here going or $25000!) As per normal it wont be left stock. Visualise a midnight purple R34 with 18" Starcorp Racing Impul Chromes (white with chrome lip and 18 by 9s on front and 18 by 10s on the rear). May or may not put on a URAS monkeykit. Mods are as follows:

- 3" cat-back zorst

- Trust FMIC

- Star Racing Impul Chromes (18 by 9"s and 18 by 10"s)

- HA coil-overs

- Nismo 2-way LSD

- Trust Td06-20G turbo

- 770cc injectors

- heavy duty clutch to support the new power

Now im a newbie when it comes to modding cars and have no idea about the costs involved so the flame suit is ready. If there are any parts that are needed that i havent mentioned yet please say so and the cost of the part. However, if someone would like to give me a rundown on the costs involved. I'm guessing about $3000 for paint job? $500 for zorst? $3000max for wheels? $1700 for HA Coils? $1100 for FMIC? and the rest im unsure about so any help will be appreciated. And as for how im gonna afford it, I'm employed by the Defence Force so its not really a problem.

wheels 1600

turbo back exhaust - 1200

turbo 2k maybe?

injectors 1k

fuel pump - 250-350

power fc - 1k

boost controller - $35 - $600

air filter - 100

FMIC - 500 - 1000

tuning 5-6hundred

new clutch - wouldn't hav ea clue how much

6-7k in engine mods alone

then there;s the suspension

Coilovers - 1.5-2.5k

thats a lot of money so I'd save that useless paint job $$$ and use it on the engine

unless you just wanna look good

770cc injectors ehh? There's about $1500 worth of gear already :cheers:

I also don't think the Starcorp rims come in 18x9 and 18x10... even if they did, they would look ridiculously stupid as the wheels would come out of the guard. I have the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 and they are already borderline.

What about boost control? Don't tell me you're planning on running a stock setting for such a large turbine?

And all those little bits and pieces? They all add up there too...

I agree with James, save the 5-6k from the paint job, and get the mechanicals all right first... at the moment it just seems like you want a bit of everything (Autosalon entry?)

It will look hot when its finished will cost you though. As above you will need upgrade Fuel system, ECU, boost control, AFM, clutch, ECT check out the tuning guide in my sig it may help

cheers

my advice would be -

1. buy the car

2. drive the car for a while

3. start to think about mods

its all pretty hypothetical at the moment, especially seeing as though you're only just thinking about importing now. have a look (search button) around here at what other people have done, should help you get things a bit clearer in your mind

You do realise it is a major defect to have 18x9" rims on the front? You are only allowed 8" wide rims on the front by law (I think that is an ADR requirement). There is no point in 18x9" really because if you are going to go wider than a 245 tyre (which is about the widest you can get on an 8" rim), then you will probably have problems with rubbing on the inner guards at full lock. I would stick with 18x8" on the front with 235 tyres.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
