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:

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:

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
