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:

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
