jap exhaust price could be a bargain now as A$ is getting stronger against Yen. Used to be JPY65=$1 when I bought my exhaust (ouch!) now is JPY75=$1, which means prices now could be 15% cheaper than last year.

well rims a nice but seriously, it does attract more attention.

BUt lets say for about $2000 maybe $2200 for the rims. I can get a gtr sized intercooler kit (brand new) to bolt on to my skyline & a aftermakret cat back exhuast (second hand) for that price.

Well, if you ask me wheels are the most expensive mod you can make to a skyline -- even a new turbo will probably cost you around the same, if not less.

but then again, I started off with that philosophy and then spent $2000 on rims so you know ;)

go the sleeper look!! good to hear you car is all fine max

haha yeah I had the same idea too Predator. Spend the money on the power and looks later. But then just couldn't resist changing the standard rims. The more I looked at it, the more I didn't like it. Oh well.

Just image with the $2k+ I spend to the rims, I could of have new f/m intercooler and an e-manage. Damn!! Don't make me think about it now, especially after the cruise when I was struggling to keep up. Well at least my car looks better with the rims... :)

I think my car is fine now with the oil pressure issue. But I'm weird feelings about my suspension now. *sight*..

See now if I spend $1.5K+ on suspension, with that money I could get an intercooler or the e-manage. So more power?!? or better handling?!?

Decisions, decisions. Oh and that is if I win Tatts tomorrow or I wouldn't be getting nothing. hehe.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
