Hey guys, i just got a r32 N/A and was wondering whats some good exterior / interior or bolt on mods that i can.

Its Manual, 170 xxx on the clock.

4 Stud, which i hate.

I was think of getting a Strut bar or gtr bonnet.

and what needs to be done to get a GTR front end on.

It all depends on what your doing with the car when you get off you P's.

Im not really sure what im doing with mine after i get off my p's or if im just going to sell it and buy a turbo.

New wheels (hard with 4 stud so best looking for multi), Sound system, tint and lower on coilovers are all pretty good things to do.

I personally didnt like the look of the grey interior so i bought some leatherette retrims for the seats, door trims, console lid etc in black and blue with the nissan logo.

Another great mod is the white guage faces and led's in the dash but be careful not to screw your cluster.

I liked the look of led's in the footwell aswell as led undercars, but its all personal preference.

Im thinking of going a gtr bonnet/grill for mine too sometime in the future.

What colour is it and is it a coupe or 4 door ??

cheers

I'd tend to focus on two things before the cosmetic touch.

1) performance upgrades which means that the strut brace is a plus for 'turn-in' etc

2) advanced driver courses, because it won't matter whether or not you've got turbos.

Later on, you'll be all set up for a turbo car.

Yeah but i got a disease, probably like most people here, like when i get a car i always want new things :D

boys toys HAHA but yet its like a bug , i gotta start pouring money into it.

yeah you got it bad! >_<

thay say, the best cure is a G/F :rolleyes:

but then, when she asks, "If you had to give up either your car or me, what would you say?" :whistling:

noting that you said 'i hate the 4 studs' i take it you have bog standard r32 wheels on it. that would be the best place to start if you ask me.

get some sweet aftermarket rims that also have a centre-cap to cover up your 4 stud shame.

here is what i got with my R33 NA. deep dish 17's.

this mod will improve both your looks and handling out of sight. (as long as your put decent rubber on em and also dont go for rubber band profiles...)

another tip if you head down this road, try to get multi-fit rims. THat way if you want to swap them onto a turbo down the line or even sell em all this is possible (also got that option on my rims)

enjoy...

+1, but if you dont have enough cash to get decent rims just take the centre cap off and spray your current ones black with acouple cans of wheel paint from autobarn (if its the alloys)

haha i got a few 4x114.3 rims at home, cause i had a few cars before xD not on my P's yet,

so i have a few rims, but really never actually stuck to one car, i think i might keep the 32 :)

i see its pretty uncommon for a coupe r32 n/a manual, so i might keep it. someone can shed some light ?

anyways , i was thinking of the various mods, maybe i should put a Build tread xD..

would it be rice if i had a gtr kit on my car ? LOL or even get like a gtr key.. cause the feeling of having one with out the hassles of the law etc..

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
