Diff 1.5 or 2 way. Use crown wheel & pinion gearing suited to the particular engine you're going to run

Tyres

Radiator + air guides

Brake pads/fluid/lines + overhaul calipers

Clutch + braided line. Lightweight flywheel.

Adjustable suspension links front + rear

Coilovers front + rear

Pay to have someone setup your suspension properly if you don't know how / want to get running sooner

ROPS

Seat + harness

In-car camera for use as a review/training aid

Spend time running it like that and learn to drive with stock power level for a season or two. Add up the costs above, IMO those are the things required for reliable, safe track running. If this is your first track car, you do not want/need 300rwkw. Plenty of fun to be had <150rwkw

Personally I would be doing these:

- The usual mods (exhaust, intercooler, pod or panel filter (your choice).

- Oil cooler

- Good tune

- Coil overs

- Sway bars

- Strut brace

- Decent tyres

- Brakes (rotors, pads, oils, braided lines etc)

Do a track day with these mods and then see how you are going.

Suspension, brakes, seat/s, harness/s, tyres, oil cooler, a real catch can, ROPS, replace all bushes, 1.5, full service on all the oils and fluids, to start with.

Dont overboost it and dont run it on the limiter

Is it going on a trailer or stay regoed ?

Remove all unneeded fat, carpet, deadener, A/C, trims.

Is the car stock or modified ?

Money to burn ? carbon everything, full strip rebuild, aero, dash, flashing lights and bells and also whistles, see the superlap site for details

i have an R32 - which im thinking of turning into a track car.

what mods / work would you recommend? (dream big guys and gals - would rather do it right and spend extra $$ than have a half arsed effort)

thanks

Look at existing 32s that are going fast at the local track here ie. sub 1:15 kind of lap times - and learn from them.

Dont build a christmas tree, they are rarely fast.

bugger all that! do what i'm doing and chuck an ls1 in your 32.

much cheaper, lighter, just as powerful and you can be a trend setter, not a follower.

besides that how much fun can you have with instant torque?

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
