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

hope for some good input here :) any of your own ideas are welcome, hope fully this thread isnt too dumb haha, i just cant decide :S

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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
