Hi Guys,

I've been taking a look around lately and since i'm not really into putting thousands under the hood of my car (aside from the required maintenance) i'm looking for some suggestions and ideas on some unique modifications that can be done to the looks, both interior and exterior that can be done on the R34 GT-T.

I don't want some huge GT wing or carbon fibre bonnet, I'm not talking about ricing the car, but I want some tasteful mod suggestions that can just make it stand out a little more that I'm an enthusiast without turning it into rice or having to put thousands into the performance.

Any suggestions would be great or examples of unique looks that have been done on some projects you've seen.

Thanks Guys

um, good unique mods come from people with unique ideas and good taste.

your not gonna get these from asking others.

that being said, just check out what other peopele have and steal any good ideas you like.
imo good wheels make a car, good ride hight will start you off well. detail the hell out of the car, doing that will find all sorts of things to do like stripping things down repairing repainting, replacing.

i like this guys path.

That modified cluster is a bit crusty with the 2 holes still in the clear cover.

Unique mods for an r34 usually suck. That's why they are unique mods. Pretty much all of the good ideas have been done....

The acceptable amount of mods to be considered a car enthusiast is 1 hellaflush sticker or equivalently gay sticker/s of your choosing.

Wheels and tyres for the exterior, and some nice ADR approved buckets seats. Less is best.....unless you like dildos......the gear shifter ones

Broadfields work is hardly crusty that was just an example of many, go check out his page there might be something you like.

This. Little details make a big difference, fresh coat of paint and restore black plastics ect

for a 34 just this ^ 100%

Hardly unique but I do like my Origin boot lip and wing: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438115-how-to-install-boot-lip-and-roof-wing/

The cheap and easy to install rubber front lip made a difference too, IMO.

How about installing an antenna like the one on those highway patrol cop cars, IMO cars with antennas look aggressive and serious

Like this and notice his wide tyres as well,

For me i might get a little sticker on the side window of my favourite anime which is Higurashi or Madoka, NOW THATS JDM! :D

Follow the Colin Chapman theory and add lightness.

Remake every single body panel in CF, then repaint it a stock colour, with the colour coats thin enough that if you get close you can still see the weave through it. Add decent suspension and lightweight forged wheels.

Zero engine modifications so no more power, but improved performance through your car now being much lighter, and improved handling through better suspension and lower unsprung weight..

Note: May cost bajillions of dollars.

And...

Since Rays Duralumin wheel nuts being discontinued...

Carbon fibre prop shaft.

C/f rear wing, strut brace,...

Ti panel bolts...

Rear wiper removal.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
