No horsepowers intended.

i was going to get a full set of Superpro suspension and cradle bushes. But I just got back from Fulcrum (because I missed the tech night there) and other than a loose top bolt on the drivers side rear strut top, all my bushes are good.....they were quite surprised, and I can spend $580 elsewhere :)

So now that my plan has changed. I'm not sure what exactly to get, but this is my list so far.

Hicas locking bar

Center caps for wheels

Wrap or plastidip center console inside.

New video card and mousepad (already paid for and installed)

new front rotors and pads...finally get rid of that annoying and increasingly ear piercing squeak.

New front speakers.

Brake fluids replaced and new ABS module (if I can find one for a reasonable price)

Booze for origin tonight
Jim Richards dinner tomorrow night.

Get my exhaust lifted up higher under the car.

and If cash permits Either build a new computer (only need CPU, MoBo, RAM, and cooler) or swaybars.

None of this involves an ECU and tune...I think you have missed something.

Hicas locking bar

Bodo, if your considering a hicas lock bar. This might be worth a look... A full eliminator kit, i got this on my car and find is absolutely awesome. Car feels s much more connected to the road etc. But i have not driven a car with Lock Bar only so not sure of comparison. I was pushed towards this kit instead of the bar only

Sweet! bright orange, can you see it under the car at all?

this is the one I was going to get. As it saved having to replace the hicas tierod ends.

But seeing as everything is fine under there, I'm just gonna stick with getting the regular old locking bar. as there is a big price difference.

Yes, orange is very visible under the car

:/ I'd avoid then unless cop attention is what one is chasing. Apparently new laws coming out and they might be trying to get us for lots more srupid little things.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
