I'd get a 34 GTR Nur, then do an RB20 conversion

Add lots of Jap parts stickers on the front guards

Add some 7' ROH Drift Tech rims with Bob Jane Aussie All-rounders (some 75 series 175 r15s)

Keep the stock exhaust and add the biggest tipped canon I could find

Paint the bonnet and boot black

Remove the rear wing

Add neons inside and out

Replace the tail lights with chrome and LED items

Replace the drivers seat with a quality Riccaro knock-off

Add a 16' sub woofer and 3000PMS amp (in the boot and loose so it rattles) to the standard head unit

Needs a wicked blow-off valve, real loud

7' tacho mounted on the dash with a 2' shift light (keep the car an Auto)

Cover the interior in some cheap Hessian sack style seat covers

Get some bolt (or rivet) on wheel flares

Fill the passenger foot well with Farmers Union ice coffee cartons, and empty Winny Blue's

If money is no iten a bonnet scoop would be cool

Well I got my GTR back from the mechanic tonite after I got 3 minor things done... had a snapped speedo cable, a very strong smell of petrol after the car was turned off and I had my cusco master cylinder brake brace installed.

I thought it'd make a little difference, but its really really firm now... totally worth the money imho....thanks to Road & Track for the labour and ISC Performance for the brace itself...

So now my speedos fixed, car doesnt smell of my precious 98 octane, and the brakes are firmer than an athletes arse...

Waiting for interior parts to arrive before I re-wire the boost controller into the glovebox... new interior parts to replace the old crappy plastic ones that some japanese dude decided to mount one billion gauges on... drill holes ftl.

Then I suppose its replacing my busted front splits and getting a sub, and getting a replacement gearbox and the fitment of the jim berry clutch.... then I suppose the EBC green pads and RDA slotted and dimpled rotors... then I guess I'd save up for the garrett turbos, fuel pump, injectors, afm's, cam gears, cams, fitment of the n1 waterpump of which i'm yet to pay sled.... not to mention fitment for all of the above..... and after that I'd get custom dump pipes and a secondary barrel muffler from Exhaust tech...

and then i'd wank out on the cosmetics. Bayside blue spray on the r32 gtr body. sanded back to the undercoat so the crappy quality paint the predecessor used doesnt cock the whole job up. Perhaps candy electric blue. if i win a lottery... I'd get the interior retrimmed in some kinda of leathery shizzl. I'd like the interior to look more like a classic british roadster or italian sports car aka leather and more leather... oh, and some R34 GTR rims would be sicker than the sickest sikh that ever caught a for of sickness...

now thats fooly sik. uleh.

-D

I actually have both these items sitting in a spare room. The EBC Green Stuff brake pads have done stuff all kms - I could probably give you an exact figure if I dug up the receipts. The R34 GTR rims are MINT - I think you've seen them. I may consider selling them soon (the rims that is). If you want the brake pads let me know.

hmm....

hid conversion.

ucf30 big brake upgrade.

yella terra supercharger.

new sound system.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
