In 2 weeks I am sending my r32 gtst away to get the speedo fixed and I want to mod it a little bit while I am there. Its completely standard and I dont know wat to have moded on it. Wanting to spend a few hundred dollars on it.

I will also be gettin a tune up and gettin a new pod filter as I think the one I have is falling to pieces and gettin new spark plugs as mine are misfiring.

Wat other mods would do my car good. some boost in power if possible.

Any Suggestions??

Unfortunately with only a few hundred you cant do much

First thing is exhaust, a nice 3 inch turbo back, as there is not much point boosting it with stock exhaust

Cheap $22 bleeder set at 12 psi = more power and maybe a SAFC to lean it out

All this prolly cost about $1500 tho, but good for around 160rwkw

Thats the thing. people always say, "Get a new exhaust, get an intercooler, get a bigger turbo". Nothing wrong with all that.

But wat about things like spark plugs, battery, cam gears, clutch...etc. those little things that might only make a tiny difference if any difference at all.

Everyone always goes big first and thinks about that stuff when it fails on them.

know wat I mean?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
