Well boys, there is a little rule that I follow in life: you're never too young to make your dreams come true :)

Also, it's control - I divide my money like so;

50% Savings and General Spending

25% on my woman

25% on my car

As you can see; the biggest winner is still ME and the EQUAL placegetters are my car and my woman. No arguements from either :D However, once the mods come to an end - the percentage towards it will 'lean' out and 'richen' towards my woman :D

I just hit it lucky I guess; none of this would be possible now if it wasn't for the care and support of my friend/boss. I owe most of my life to her right now :lol:

And as for the young thing in my reply before; I'm 19 so there's still a long way to go before I'm done :D

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :O

It sucks doing approx 15 hours of overtime per week to try and cover my modding addiction. lol

0% living???

I am in the same boat, when ever something goes wrong I think..nah ill sell my car it costs too much! But then its so nice to drive and so many aftermarket mods to buy :O

My monthly paycheque is:

25% Loan

35% Living

40% Car

The girlfriend gets what ever is left out of living :lol:

i am hopeless with money. I just buy things i want basically.

I have invested a fair amount of money into property (i own a 2 bed appartment).

I bought the GTR and Soarer but don't owe any money on them.

my problem is i just buy pretty much what i want, so even though i have plenty of money coming in, it all goes out again :O

I guess my mortgage is a kind of savings, and i do still put away a few hundred a week (mostly). I just have to try and restrain my self when it comes to spending on the car. it's tough though.

ok i can see you all have something in common.....

i am another that can be added to the list, lately my divisions are:

80% - CAR

20% - woman

0% me and savings...

and yeh im only 20!!!

cars are a money pit, i know this but i just love making it go faster!!!!!

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :rolleyes:

You will grow out of it one day tommy , i don't know when though , i still haven't but who cares ....

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
