Ive recently bought a R32 off my mate, for now it has all tha performance stuff i want done e.g front mount. But i have another 2k i can spend on the car, what do you guys recommend to do with the money, i was thinking about a bodykit but then i would be driving around with it unpainted then i was thinking of mags, but tires and mags dont think i have enough, so if it was you what would you spend the money on thanks.

Whats actually been done to the car performance wise? im sure theres some more go fast goodies you could for her :) but if you have everything already i would get the mags first

you don't want to go around with a nice looking car with a hot body kit with ugly wheels :|

well if i was in your situation..

so new car, and 2K to spend

firstly, i would do a full service - oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, clean the coils, clean the AFM, clean the AAC valve (do a search for more info on this)

then i would take it to a mechanic and give it a power run on the dyno to check AFRs and check the health of the engine

now, its already got some go-fast bits, so i might check if its a full exhaust or a cat-back, and if its only cat-back then i would finish off the exhaust

now on an r32gtst you can run up to 14psi fairly safely so i would adjust up to 12-14psi and seee how it runs

with the rest of the money i would get the windows tinted, and look for a nice second-hand set of 18" rims with tyres already on them

hope that helps

Warren.

Maintainence is the key. You need a healthy motor for the go fast stuff to work. No point in spendin all your hard earned on go fast bits if the car doesnt go. This is what i would do

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
