Stick with the std stuff, and go have a few wild weekends on the sauce. Bets find another $200-300, buys you much better gear

i ohnestly didnt understand most of what you said... could you elaberate?

With pricing, im going from stock r32 and buying all performance parts with money from other car, meaning my pocket will only be so deep

i think he means to use the standard stuff and if you can get another $200-$300 then you can get better stuff...?

ive got the HSD HR coilovers in my car and i couldnt be happier with them, you can still feel the bumps in the road as i have mine on pretty stiff settings, but it handles a lot better now. i havent tried them on the softest settings yet. but they are alot better than the stock parts.

Yeh, was just saying that either pocket your money and spend it on a few big weekends. OR, pocket your money and save for a little longer and look at some other options. $1400 is a lot of money to get a compromise. If you were talking $1000 id say they are a good option. But if you are able to get the buidget up around $1700-1800 then you have many more options.

A friend has HSD in his S13. They are pretty good, and considering the pace at which he punts the car they are obviously pretty good on the track. But htey knock like bastards on the street (since only a month or two old) and they are pretty hard on the street. My personal thoughts are if youa re going to spend that much money, perhaps consider what another few hundred buys you.

...and i understand completely about the pockets only being so deep. Sucks doesnt it when the plans for your car are killed by cash flow

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
