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 :)

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.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
