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.

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
