Browsing the forum this morning I noticed a thread which asked "What would you do to your skyline?". So I'm asking you, all money aside, what would you do to your current car?

Crazy engine conversions? wide body? custom made rims?

Personaly with my GTS-t I'd do a 2jz conversion or maybe a 20b rotary for something different. Twin setup for response. Spray it matte black or similar, black 19" TE37, stock kit. Make it real sleeper.

What would you do?

id keep it AND buy a 35 gtr. nah i'd go drift spec, Vertex kit with wheels that hang wider than the kit, drift lip, drop in a rb28dett with forged internals, couple of responsive turbo's.

i would replace everything with brand new items (like seals and interior things and all that)

chuck a worked off its tits RB30DETT in. Respray me car black with a dark green pearl and chuck some 19" black Nismo LMGT4's on it :(

If i could go back i would have gone rb26 instead of spending what i have on the rb20! Apart from that i did what i wanted to do!

^^

GRIM is the r32 that has everything done to it, very very nice...

You dont see many "off tap" RB20s around tho ben. its a killa ride :(

and kind of already doing it again with the 260 :(

I would.... completely respray the car inside out - same factory colour, retrim the interior - black leather with red stitching, 18" wheels - nismo LMGT4, every suspension component replaced with new or aftermarket parts and slightly lowered, and work the motor up realllllllll good. Eventually I'll do it all :(

Cheers Joel, im rather proud of my work on it, i will miss it when i eventually sell it! And no i wouldnt say theres too many 32's with that extent of work to it in SA!

Yeah i kind of have gotten a little carried away there havent i Damo! lol! Just wait for the next project that will come when GRIM goes! ;)

I'd love to fully strip and restore the 33 piece by piece; engine, body, and running gear...

Throw in aftermarket & forged goodies, but keep it stealth/factory looking as possible...

If only i had the time and patience to begin with! (money aside)

So you found a thread and decided to start another exactly the same????? ok..

with my current 33 I'd just do the normal get it back to perfect condition interior and exterior with only a few personallised bits and pieces..

The fun starts when I buy my 2nd 33....

Make a ute out of it like in my sig!!!!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
