Ok, so here's the deal. I have just quit smoking and aim to go at least 3 months(hopefully for ever) without a cigarette. Being an ex pack a day smoker, I now have some extra cash in my hands. To hold me to my pact, I need a goal. And that goal is going to be something for my line. But what?

So, in three months (saving about $50 a week-after patches etc- ) I should have 600 bucks. Should I get ;

* New front bar? Mine is broken and chipped to buggery

* SAFCII

* bolt on/engine upgrade (suggestions?)

* ?

* what I really want (pwr FC) 600 only a down payment. :boohoo:

Already got FMIC, EBC, Exhaust, Wheels, suspension, Sound. (soon to have fuel pump, fuel cut defender)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Am hoping one day to get 200 kw out of her. and here's a pic of the front bar.

I havent had a smoke since drag combat round one.Cold the sphincter of the universe and i feel like a million bucks not 600.Do your life, car and image a favor give up the stinking fcuken things feel better and get addicted to modding your car instead.Paul...DIRTgarage.

The wife and i stopped when she got pregnant 3.5 years ago...it was pretty easy with that sort of motivation ...best thing we ever did ..have the babys..but quitting smokes was 1 of the smartest moves we made.......AND THE MONEY unless you really support the government 50/60% per pkt tax...QUIT

pffft wat are these sissies talking about??? Nothing more manly than puffing on one....maybe 2 ciggies at a time. In fact, sell your car and stock up on cartons of cigarettes!!

Hahhaha jokes man, good on ya for quitting, i'm with you, makes it much easier to quit if you have something tangible to aim towards.

Look towards the power FC i reckon. That way you have more incentive for longer, plus its a mad upgrade!!

(ps i never actually took up smoking but i'm talking in general terms!)

go another month ($800 - or just save another $15/week) and get a second hand power fc for sure. then, after another 8-10 weeks ($4-500), get it tuned. 2 goals/rewards right there. and by that time you'll be over the durries and addicted to modding your car. thats about where im at now...

edit: forget the front bar, cosmetic mods are for sissies! :D

My reward when I quit was to take a cake to work every 3 months. Also kept me honest with workmates who knew I had quit.

Part of my quit process was to cause Melbourne's water crisis - I was drinking water by the gallon! 1 of those sports drink bottles in the office, and 1 for home / car.

Congrats on kicking the dreadful habit.

Congrats on dropping the coffin nails!!

Now when you my age you can give all the young guys around you the shits by telling them you are so glad you gave up when you did,and to wake up to themselves!

Thanks also for making me realise that all that money I have wasted(??) on cars was only what I did not spend on that disgusting habit over all the years.

PS - It will be hard to completely give up - they ARE a DRUG of addiction !! :skull:

Hang in there.

thanks for all the comments guys, its actually been pretty easy so far. The patches work great (the dreams when you're asleep are mad as) and I'm not having to wear them all the time now. Haven't yet been out or had a drink. That will be the killer if there is to be one.

As for the line, its sort of down to a pwr fc or front bar. Anybody know where to start looking (apart from on here) for 2nd hand bars and pwr FC's?

cheers, Mark

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
