The Tax man was king enough to give me a PHAT ANDY return (i finally got off my ass and did it)

So... what should i spent it on?

I've got around 4k to spend.

What should i do???... what should i buy ??

I've had my heart set on R34 GTR wheels for ever now. So i'll probably get a set since i've got the cash.

But that leaves me with around $1500 still to go.

WTF do i spend it on? help me out! lol!

There are a few options im thinking:

1) Brakes - my front custom set-up with a two piece rotor/slots/braided lines etc.

2) A Tomei Cam & 33 GTR seats

3) Better rubber (semi-comps) for my 32 gtr wheels

4) Put it towards a good 2-way locker

5) R31House vented bonnet

All the above come into the $1500 mark or close to it... so many choices, i just dunno what to choose damnit :)

Injectors/AFM etc... that's done (well its not but its already allocated)

So maybe cams it could be :)

I dunno about any other wheels. I just love R34 GTR rims.

I dunno why, but i reckon they look hot on an R31.

What wheels are on Leewah's again?

as stock 34 wheels have the right offset, but aftermarket wheels for GTR's my car is gonna struggle with fitting legally

If you are serious about doing some track work then Id get the brakes upgraded.

Ya dave/andrew.

That's where i am heading towards. My brakes are average.

But then... if i do what your doing and get sponsored, brakes might be part of it possibly.

Hhmm.. so many damned choices lol!

bonnet: bonnet makes the car look tough..

Seats: you sit in the car every day.. want something nice and comfortable. I'd probably go towards recaros, Brides or something over GTR seats (which are rocks).

I forget the R31 seats.. but if they are decent enough, get em retrimmed and reupholstered in leather or something if they are reasonable shape and you like them.

What about rollcage :) might need it.. lol

More ideas than i started with lol!

Roll-Cage i've thought about.

That will come later on i think. Not at present.

Lawyer - Typical of you. Might get your ones number :)

Rebuild - Yeah, i know it's coming. I'm fearing the day it does.

But the car will have a conservative tune to make it last.

I get approx 45k in 4-6 months for various reaons.

So the rebuild might come from what i have left over after buying a house :)

nope lol!

we actually start working on it tonight.

My mate has been busy doing a RWC for his mrs car.

She takes obvious precedence. So yeah. tonight we start.

Measure pipes etc. Get it TIG'd and not much more required.

coming from someone who has driven your car get those farkin front brakes fixed i know the rear is all sorted and now bigger turbo = better brakes

or just be LEB SPEC and put more neons on it Or a huge wing :)

bonnet hmm yummy :)

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
