Guys!

I've decided to spend 2k on my skyline... here is what I have...

RB25DET

Stock turbo,stock intercooler

Coilovers and 17" rims

standard series 1 bodykit

4" exhaust with blitz nur spec muffler

boost controller

air pod

normal ICE with a small enough subwoofer to provide decent 'doof doof'.

Any ideas on what I can do with the cash?

DIY vs shops? I am not mechanically sound but simple electricals I can handle with some instructions...

What do you want out of your car?

perhaps a tune would be nicely suited with your current mods.

If you are in sydney, you can get a remap done for little as $400.

Why not get a r34 cooler, or fmic? thats about 500.. thats 1k gone..

With the other 1k, do more suspension mods? Castor rods, tie rod ends, sway bars etc..

But the next step in more power will be costly!!

That is if you wanna go bigger turbo etc. You will need a budget of 5k for that.

Perhaps with the 2k, invest it into insurance :)

HEy guys

Thanks for the tips.... I might end up getting a e-manage /safc, tune and prolly spend the rest on replacing my crappy s1 rear spoiler to a s2. I suppose the 2gs is to get me started on the mods. Prolly the next step is to upgrade the turbo and intercooler system. Then again, its an everyday car.....Fuel economy is behind my mind but I gotta get the balance between street car and race car correct.... if u know what i mean....

    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
