Hi All,

Thought it would be a good idea if we were all to post up what our favourite mods to our cars are. Thinking this will influence eachother to what people have done and what theyve found to be most rewarding mod.

When posting your favourite mod please include how much it cost you, why its your fav. and if its not an "off the shelf" item, where you got it done/made

To kick things off: :(

Favourite Mod:

EBC (electronic boost controller), Greddy Profec B spec II ( $350ish new from whorebay). Followed closely by SAFC II.

Why I Like It:

Made the stagea so much more lively with only a few extra PSI. The ability to have granny spec (Lo) and goodbye petrol mode (hi), I personally think are a must if your driving ur stag as ur only car.

lets see how this goes :)

External gate and TD06 i had on my 180.

Whole setup cost me over 3K

but damn it was worth it seeing the face on the trev went u went past them with the gate screaming and the tyres turning!!

God i miss that car.

But other best mod done for sure was a slightly illegal one :P 25mm wheel spacers, transformed the handling on my R34 drift car, made it sooo stable.

best stagea mod... well havnt driven one long enuf to mod one yet... they keep breaking on me...

Tough call...

In order;

1) Fuji/Kakimoto exhaust combo - niiice sound & very nice increase in power (looks good too :P )

2) Nismo LMX5 rims - work beautifully with the sky blue, huge grip increase over stockies (Kenda types)

3) Opening up airbox - doesn't run out of breath now.... at all.... ever

4) Hi Flow Turbo (T3 core) - only logs in at number 4 because I have not installed the Emanage Ultimate (next - can't wait!) or a boost controller.

too hard to say best mod, for me, lol 'cause Ive done too many

a) hiflow turbocharger (but to choose that you must include the Toshi ecu remap, the safc/sitc/z32afm/adj.fpr/ebc combo) and dynotune setup

b) automatic gearbox shift kit

c) whiteline swaybars and bilstein shocks

More boost... Only mod ive really done as exhuast, induction ect was already on the car...

Why.. Becase its goes harder and i love the look on peoples faces when they hear a wagon screaming past with a nice flutter at the end :dry:

I don't have a favorite and some are not installed in the car year but anyways.

in no particular order

1. Rims (18" BBS Rims - came with the car)

2. Exhaust

3. HKS GT2535 (Not installed - will be very soon)

4. Cooling Pro Stealth Intercooler (Not installed - will be very soon)

5. Blitz SBC iD Spec-R Boost Controller (hopefully to be installed this weekend)

6. Stereo

JJ bellmouth dump with X force hi flo cat and 3" cat back. $400.

My $20 two stage boost control, better than earthing solenoid, caus its controlable and a fuel saver,

well where do i start:

1. $15000 stereo (includes 6 tvs) always entertained

2. Greddy cams love that lumpy idle (louder than my old mans V8)

3. Having a 260rs

4. 300km/h dolphin speedo that was customised to illluminate blue

1. zaust.... nuff said.. that alone is the best bang for buck and gives the car more pickup.

Fuji and hks re pretty pimp..

i was lucky enough for my skyrine to get a CMS custom exhaust ( turbo back) for like 500 bucks.. ( second hand)

And my stag came with one, that with a pod i put on its pretty niiice.

With a fmic id be pretty stoked..

Theres an S15 im looking at now (99% in the bag, deposit down) that has every mod under the sun done to it already bar a turbo ( hes giving me the manifold for it as well).

When i took it for a test drive it made me happy in the pants...looking foward to tomorrow when i pick it up :banana:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
