Well, the saga continues. After my last accident the engine blew (replaced with rb25det :) ), and on both occassions i decided to upgrade rather than returning the car to its original form.

Now, i've just had another silly accident in the wet (my fault i admit, no comments plz)...and now i'm presented with a dilemma.

The damage is to the left-rear and is fairly extensive. I could either fix it back to normal, or get a full vertex kit, FB bonnet and respray the whole car. Either way the car is going to get a respray, but do u guys thinks its worth spending an additional ~900 on a kit? I currently got a GTR front bar with full type m kit.

I had a look at the for sales (cars) section and ppl seem to be struggling to sell their cars for the price they want.

What do u guys thinks? Should i keep pumping money into her or should i just do wats neccessary?

Any opinions? Does it ever stop?

thanx for the replies.

I prob plan to keep the car another 2 yrs or so..already had it for 2. Wasn't planning on doing the exterior until i hit 250rwkw but this accident has prompted me to switch priorities for now.

GTR front bar is def better but the vertex has the nicest ass i've seen on a 32.

Do u think the gtr front would go with the rest of the vertex?

In two minds atm....

lol

do-luck would be the sh*t...too bad my pockets aren't that deep.

ADZMAX - yeah, i've def learnt my lesson no more stupid stuff 8am on a sunday in the wet.

does anyone know a place that has do-luck replica? I've heard the original is in excess of ~$5K...thats a bit too much IMO.

BTW - i had a look at the blister kit - my car won't fit in the garage with that bulge mate lol

jap.com.au have the vertex kit for $500 atm - seems like a pretty good deal.

foznice - if i get rid of the bar, you'll be first on my list :kiss:

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
