its really all to ur own taste i mean some people will say get big ass chrome wheels, others will say wtf go get ****ed get normal human wheels, its just what u want to do, if u dont wanna be pulled over dont do anything stupid and u'll be right,

i dont know much about body mods, but i sugest you listen to a few different views as there always is...some people like to talk out of their ass and just spin shit just to sound like they know a lot, whereas some people actually know stuff!...do your reseach and save the heartache of doing things straight away.

police tend to pick on skylines that are noticably moded, and with P's, you're probably asking for trouble:(...but as dox said, it is your choice, and dont drive in a way that increases atraction

a mod that i would insist on(not loks either sorry)would be a 3" exhaust from the turbo...a cat back is good, but the bigger dump pipe does wonders for a skyline:D

First buy yourself a dump pipe with seperate pipe for wastegate and exhaust.

Dande enhaust will do you a 3inch from the dump pipe back with high flow cat for around $1200 for mild steel or $1600 for stainless steel. While doing that get the dump pipe fitted at the same time.

Thats just 1 mod, but theres sooooo many more u could do the list is endless!!

yeah i know, but i want to put a gtr bodykit on it coz ive seen them around. i just dont want to go too out of my way to be noticeable for the cops

hahahahahha sorry. i suggest if you are on your p plates you leave the mods for a while. The car is still fun stock, if you do get an exhaust dont get one wich is too loud as your trying to be as inconspicuous(???) as you can for 1 more year.

inasnt seperate pipe for wastegate and exhaust. this has to do with swirling of gases or something???, im going to purchase one of these. I am assuming it would be good to get one made up at an exhaust place. I know you got urs sent. which would be better? and what was the cost again?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
