hmmm just cracked the 40g all up (20g for car)mark myself. As everyone knows, there's always something else you need. Yes we have cars as money pits. Just ask yaself, what else would you spend ya money on if ya didn't have a skyline ??? Maybe a house, but that's about it.

If ya girlfriend or wife says you spend too much money on ya car....Tell her that you could spend a million on her but she won't do 12's down the quarter mile :D

Im one of the little spenders at the moment but its in the process of changing.

To date i have only spent the following

-Gauges-500

-Rims-2500

-Bc-35, bought one of those manual ones from mark. his thread is in the forced turbo section,awsome bit of equiptment.

-tinted windows-300

other than that not a lot. Some of the mods were already done like tein fully adjustable suspension, pod filter, 3" from the turbo back.

have plans for a fmic soon in the next year for only 700, then it will continue from there.

Love these cars, its just funny how silly little comodores keep trying to run against me, even though mine is a mild tune, so i can only imagine how some of the guys in this forum must blow them apart.

By the way Packy love the comment about the missus.

way 2 much but its fun 2 drive and its what i want.

i'm with u Jason...

too scared 2 put a figure on it, but with new engine/gearbox i'm having so much fun i forget about price anyway...

Theres at least $5k there on engine mods to get it running mid 12's , not bad when you think of it that way.  What else can beat it for the money?

A CBR1000RR fireblade doing low 10's for $19000 new from the dealer :D

Had my R33 for over a year...

cost $18k imported and on the road

$40 to replace the buggered rear speakers

$15 for new wiper blades

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
