Hmm basically i dunno at to spend my tax returns on haha, heres my few ideas;

option 1: 100,000km service including

-New Timing Belt Idler & Tension units, Cam Seals & Front Main Seal

-New water pump

-Trust heavy duty timing belt

-Trust adjustable intake & exhaust cams

-Trust clear cam gear cover

(i still have to check if my car has or hasnt already had a major service with belts and stuff)

option 2: kakiregu06r.jpg this *drool*

(i do already have a cat back and full 3" dump pipe but the cat back isnt a cannon its the oval style, and its very quiet + its dinged...and i want Ti :()

option 3: A leatherette retrim (all black) and LED tail lights

option 4: a Defi Link Display so i can have all the info i need without 5 gauges all over the place, including sensors for water temp, oil temp, oil pressure and fuel pressure ( i already have a boost gauge)

option 5: HKS EVC V and a Apexi AFC NEO (wont be able to afford install and tune though haha)

__________________________________________________________________________

Option 1 would make a lot of sense if i havnt already had one, could even replace the cam gears and cover for something more usefull on the list

option 2 is somethin gi AM going to get in the future anyway, so my reasoning is i might aswell get it while i got bulk cash cos otherwise it will take me a while to save up and i could buy many little things quicker than i could get one big thing

option 3 i think would be the most stand out, people (my friends) would notice this the most, and its even something i would see every time im in the car so i would appreciate it

option 4 is something i want but i suppose it could wait, although if it should probably come before boost controller and AFC so tuners can monitor engine

option 5 is the more power now option haha, i will get round to these things if i dont buy them now, and also if the engine hasnt had the big service it would be better to do that first

but aside from those options theres more stuff i want that maybe you think would make more sense ?? heres a few :)

- oil filter relocation kit

- bosch in tank fuel pump

- HKS fuel pressure regulator (due to misunderstanding i have the adaptor and not the actual FPR so now i need to buy it anyways :))

- Ganador mirrors, just hot !

- front lip for the bumper

- aluminium radiator overflow tank

cheers

I got a decent tax return, but need to save it for insurance next year :( Its going to kill me!

I could just blow it on some coilovers, cooler kit and EBC right now... :)

I guess for your situation i'd go on what you think is the best option as far as your servicing bits. If not, i'd be picking something that i'd get the most enjoyment out of. For me - the EVC and AFC

thanks for the input so far :D

seeing as ive found out i have had a majour service,timing belts +water pump and who knows what else already im leaning towards either a new cat back, maybe not the one pictured, not sure or the interior retrim with LED tail lights and ganador mirrors, i think i will end up going with the latter of those, seeing as its all DIY :)

...but my mind will probably sway :S

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
