yeah $70k sounds like a lot until you factor in $45k to buy the car stock, then there are all the standard mods, then heavier mods. I lost count of how many times the car went to Cartoys, Tilbrooks, Turbo Tune or Morpowa and came out with a $2k+ bill. Unfortunately when I bought the S15 there were NO 2nd hand parts, so every single thing that went on the car was brand new and fitted by (expensive) workshops (since I had no mechanical expertise - and look a me now last weekend installed a new turbo, radiator, oil cooler and trans cooler on the R34) I stopped keeping accurate track of expenses at $25k and that was before the last round of mods.

You also did a diff, threw a twin plate in it etc etc it does add up very quickly, especially when others are doing the work.

Andrew... So no skinned knuckles or cuts... oh there's blood did I cut myself. Done that many times.

Hows the new radiator?

yeah mate the hands and arms are still recovering - have a few nasty cuts and still black fingers, but it's all good.

Yep the radiator is bloody awesome - with my new thermo fan (which is noisy as buggery but extremely effective) I can keep the water temp at 82 degrees sitting stationary indefinitely in the hot garage.

Still have a few issues I am sorting to haven't been able to give it any real stick yet, but at 10psi it feels extremely strong and quite powerful. Boost comes on very early and hard-as, which is very pleasing.
