im considering on buying a new car..either a wrx or a r33 gtst...

id alwaiz loved r33s but i also like the wrx coz they r 4 doors n look more new..

but im sorta leaning towards the r33 n stick to my dream car...

but i have a few questions

1. if i was to buy a stock r33 gtst, how much m i looking at to spend on small mods like front mount, BOV, body kits, Exh, etc...just minor mods to make it look good n run alright...

2. the interior of the r33 gtst looks abit out of date n i was wondering how much tat would cost me to change? maybe just new bucket seats, new deck, wheel, gear nob, n if possible i want to change the dash (i can change the dash n roughly how much would it cost me?)

my bugdet all up is around the 26k mark

think its possible for me to do this with tat amount? n if so, what should i get n prices..

thanks

Peter

Don't buy a stock GTST you can buy one on these forums with lots of modifications.

I personaly wouldn't bother with the interior I'd make the exterior and interior look stock with lots of engine modifications - Sleeper, but if you must!

New deck - $600 For a half decent one.

Speakers - $300 depends no what you want and can afford.

Nismo 320k Dash - $1000 or you can just get the speedo change for around $450

Gear Nob - $100 also depends on what style you want

New seats - Ranging from $1000 - $3000 ?

but if your going to buy a stock gtst.

Front mount - $1500

3" Exhaust - $800

Boost controler - Turbosmart manual one - $90 or electronic b/c can rang from $500 through to $1000

3" Dumpipe - $400

Body kit - depends on what you want. GTR front bars are around $500

Rims - at least $1500 for a decent set

Boost guage - $100

Pod filter - $100

Try and get a car with the basic suspension, exhaust, Pod's and Mags as it will make things so much easier so you can spend money on other modifications in the long run. :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
