We just bought an R53 MINI Cooper S for my wife and it is awesome to drive.

180 odd bhp, sports suspension and 1100 kg.

I had a blurr to sell my 540 bhp R33 GTS-T and get another Cooper S and tweak the bejesus out of it.

Maybe I'm drinking too much cheap wine.

Any help, much appreciated.

cheers

id say just do a long awaited mod to the skyline...

New rims n mad sticky tyres? some kit? leather interior?

something to fan the flames of passion that any of us would die for to have a 540hp 25/30 (you bastard):thumbsup:

HaHa, Love your comment, Thanks man, I get it.

Well, I've really nothing left to flame, it's all done.

Suspension,engine, brakes, rims and tyres.

So do I start again with another project and burn another $50K or go for a GT4088 twin scroll + NOS on the 3.0.

Hey if my wife gets a wiff of any of this I'm FUBAR. :rolleyes:

if you have the readies for it why not soup up something a little different? like a Delorean or an imported Crown vic and make it look like a legit NYPD cruiser...

you realise if you put NOS in you'll have to get 2 of them... the big ones..

or as the cop says, get an EVO and go all time attack on it. .giant wide body kit, huge wing etc. dont forget the NOS either..throw about 100k under the hood, no one could take you, not even a Jetta!

oh and rb25, would i be allowed to roll around with cop lights on my ride as long as it was marked as a foreign LAC? as in yank?

keep your gtst-t and tweak your wife's mini

best of both worlds

damn right mate,

I'd rather cut off my right arm than sell my GTS-T

I mentioned tweaking the MINI before but she is strongly against it, she loves it just the way it is.

So I have to do it behind her back. HAHAAAA

I'm gonna order the 15% reduced pulley for the Supercharger, do a high flow intake and have it remapped on a dyno.

Will be interesting to see if she notices.

Don't worry, if she hits me, I'll hit her back. :thumbsup:

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
