New to skylines and have started setting out priority for mods and was curious as to what others would change. For me, on a HNR32, it will be:

Heigh Adjustable monotube coilovers

Adj camber Arms

Good width/offset wheels to fill the guards + decent tyres(17x9 +30ish I think).

Remove Hicas and fit eliminator(or lock bar if the tie rods are sweet and I am short on funds.)

All this will probably be done around the same time before the car is registered and new engine, gearbox and diff oil and maybe replace front end tie rods if needed. Any other bushings/steering components that may need to be done assuming a car around 1200000kms?

Bit lost after this, Swaybars be next in terms of suspension?

Then I will be going gtr front bar, suede steering wheel, rear lip spoiler.

Title may be a bit ambiguous... Oh well I think the post will make it clear. With regards to ball joints/tie rods is it worth replacing them while it's all pulled apart or only bother if they are rooted?

1.2million k's wow!

Ball joints would be worth while if it's all apart. Did them on my 32, felt like a nice noise free suspension :) about $100 or so per joint though.

Do the rear subframe cradle and diff bushes as well.

Yeah it's had a big life lol... I meant 120 Mm :P. Things sure are expensive compared to my simple little ae86. Is that for genuine nissan ball joints? What about a cheaper, non-Nissan alternative? Also are there 2 joints per corner?

I was wondering about legality of camber arms and the HICAS elimator? Last time I got a RWC on a car they didn't check under the car at all. In QLD.

Had a look today and the front ball joints and tie rod ends look like they have been replaced (Compared the rubber on the front ones compared to the quality of the rubber on the rears which has deteriorated quite bad and need replacing when I do the HICAS). So Will be Eliminator and Ball joints in the rear when I get around to it.

Read somewhere that the subframe cradle bushes only need done if they have ruptured as they are silicone filled? Are the diff bushes the same or are they rubber?
