Dude I was scared for you, I was following close but your car was all over the place!!

You need Coilovers and sway bars immediately!!!

I was scared for all of us at times given the hard braking and err:.. 'drafting' going on :P how's ur lip billy? Hehe

Rim spec spend a bit extra and get a nicely modified gtr and you'll still have money left over for the work car.

Modified 33gtr + work car > m3

nah dont want a modified gtr engine wise has to be stock

but yeah it would be the wiser/least selfish thing to do

and not sure if you mean you wouldn't modify it, or you want a stock one because you think it will be less thrashed, but don't always assume modified means thrashed..Often means that the person has the money to look after it properly, and might actually respect it..

ah in that case buy one for ~$20k, throw some wheels and suspension at it and you're done for ~$26k

mmm something like that

Stock or modded, no difference really.

If you want untrashed car, buy new car.

stock - you'll get pulled over and let off.

modded - you wont get let off

Buy mine :D

Nah not ready to get rid of it just yet still having my fun :P

now i know not to buy yours :P

but it has the right colour combo and is series 3 = win. if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for it?

22.5, if my memory serves me correctly (just came with a cat-back system and rims). I don't mind talking about what I paid - sure I could of gotten one of the cheaper ones but I wanted this one and that was that, its a 98 as well which I'm happy about last year they were made only real issue is there was a small crack on the front lip but dads pretty handy with fixing plastic and shit around the house so fixed it awesome for me back to its normal strength.

ah thats alright. yeah it would have to be a 98, dont wanna go backwards age wise

Just buy stock looking modded GTR.

that wont help when you get pulled over :rolleyes:zero hassles meaning i dont wanna spend a cent clearing defects/EPAs and i'd like to drive it anytime i want stress free

Just do the basics exhaust, intake, boost just make sure you get a quiet exhaust.

basics are fine. thing is i plan on keeping my next car for atleast 3 years so i rather it lasts, than to make it go quicker and shorten its life

im still keeping the M3 and a 34R as options but atm leaning towards the 33. fml.

I never had issues with my previous GTR and my current GTR both has aftermarket turbos and noisy exhaust (granted that I don't drive 32R much).

It sounds like you're after stockest of the stock. Good luck finding one.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
