Modification Thread?

[Rev_head88]

hey guys,

just thought would be a good idea to make a thread in which u tell everyone ur new mods?

like new sound systems, exhausts, rims, etc.... just to help each other out in getting the best prices?

everyone likes a good bargain so maybe this could be a really good thing.

so i guess i'll start!

i got 4 tyres 235/40zr18's with 80% tread from injektd belconnen for $250

then jax quickfit tyres tuggeranong fitted all four and gave me an extra 235/40zr18 and all new wheel nuts for $100

hope this helps some people out lets get this cranking!!

peace.

new exhuast temp sensor....genuine from japan...

$350

epic fail

[and3_3]

LOL Jesus 350 for that...

I need one too, anyone know where to get a non epic fail deal?

[and3_3]

Oh and my latest mod... hmm been a while but my tein suspension from fulcrum was about 2300 with installation and tuning, not a terrible deal but probs cheaper going through Slide for the parts then paying Fulcrum for the labor.

My next purchase is a replacement heavy duty clutch, can get them for 380ish from Slide.

Then i want a C's short Shifter, they go for about 300ish i think.

Then i want dba 4000 slotted rotors.

Then i want... Ah the list will never end

Skip the DBA 4000 rotors and go the 5000 if you plan on doing any track days. I've heard that even the slotted have cracked.

[race_snooze]

temp sensors from autobarn you can use ford something ones, cant recall with type of ford, you will also have to change the plug to make it fit. But much much cheaper

I may have an old one lying around, will have a look when I get time, I may have also given it away already though

And I hope you never will, touch wood. There's just been so many occurances on track cars of them cracking , and not just people bitching, for me to not warn others. DBA themselves do not recomend them to be used for track cars.

Last change to my car was a new windscreen, $260 including new seals and installation from Novus in Queanbehole. Damn good value, was expecting it to set me back way more.

Bilstein suspension kit with swaybars etc from Elite QLD for $1920 (selling my Teins). Basically a Sydney Kid kit but delivered inside a week, and with progressive king springs instead of whitelines.

haha nice.

any1 know...would it be better to source a lsd locally or go over the net? im looking at getting a 1.5 way kaaz or nismo and wondering if net would be cheaper...or is there anywhere local that sells them at a good price.????

i'd go jsut jap but dont know if they have 1.5 way as not on their site.

[Bullet32]

Buy on the net Gus, you wont find a better price locally.

By the way, you will be much happier with a Nismo 1.5 Lsd over a Kaaz, they're much more street friendly and are much smoother to drive... Its worth spending the extra cash.

[Gus-]

would you recommend getting the adjust. nismo one or just the normal.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

I got the KAZZ 2-way for my drifter for $1000 off the silvia forums. Same price for the 1.5-way.

Just can't remember who though...

[Bullet32]

would you recommend getting the adjust. nismo one or just the normal.

Are you planning on racing?

-- If you are then go for the adjustable one.

-- If not, the standard one will be fine for the street.

You have to remember that Mechanical LSD's require a lot more maintenance than regular diffs, so the life of your new Nismo LSD depends heavily on how well you treat it.

[StinkyPoo]

I'm going for a Nismo 2 way, same with Kwyjibo. At this stage, probably buying one next year.

[tridentt150v]

Nismo 1.5's are easy to live with, just a bit of chatter around town, but not a lot. Can't comment on the Kaaz.

One thing I love is the way it hooks up and drives when you accelerate. None of this steering correction etc, it drives straight cos both wheels are doing the same amount of effort. Even exiting a roundabout [once your used to it] it tracks brilliantly.

new alternator installed today at "spence auto electrics" brilliant guy did a great job $50 couldnt be happier
