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.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
