I hear u can get a Wicked one done for like 10k :P

What sort of "clean up" are u talking about??? All ya pipes cabling..

Mate list could be miles long ya know.

ahahhaha u c**ts are quite persistent eh?

nehoo just the standard stuff like, chroming pipes, changing factory silicon houses, braided lines n shit like that.

maybe fabricating a new intake pipe.

cuz i just ordered one of those plazmaman plenums and thought since its all chromed up and clean, why not do the rest of the bay

good clean of the engine bay after.

so nismoid, hows ur car? i hear its nearly as old as you, might need a candy paintjob soon huh?

polish the top of your engine, won't cost much... get all the little metal hoses, clamps and bits zinc coated and chemically polished... there's places that do em in bulk for a couple of hundred bucks, and they come out shiny as. cover up your electrical bits and give your whole engine bay a good hosedown with grease remover that they sell in autobahn, don't get it on clearcoat, but on any other paint its OK and the grease n dirt will wash off. after that just tidy up your wiring and put all the polished bits back on and you'll have a nice engine bay.

i dont really have alot of time on my hands cuz i work n skool it, but sounds good man. i really wanna find a workshop who knows wth they doin, saves me time, not a biggie if i have to pay a lil extra.

You reckon if i get a candy paint job i could sell try sell it for $44,000 like you did for your stock GT-t ?

hahahaahha, its a lil hard to say cuz mines still factory paint, but give it a go pops, try use the search button aswell, its there for a reason, right "admin" :P

On a serious note hanging something from the fan belt or maybe some big dice from the rear view mirror that gives u an extra 20kw and adds 5k :)

LOL yea look at places like nengun and other shops like that to get parts.

chroming u can have that done anywhere look in the yellow pages.

But make sure u paint the engine bay something *ucken MAD!!!!

Pear or something will look nuts bro

As a cheap and easy alternative, if you have the dosh lying around, why not put that under the engine bay to "bling it up". 20c coin style rocker cover and $2 coin turbo definately brings out the bling! :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
