burnout. then a couple of hundred bucks on tyres. then $4500 on piss when you get done for hoonlaws and spend your nights bored at home thinking "why did i listen to that c**t on sau".

Awww i wanted to put a smart ass comment but it appears i was beaten to it :laughing-smiley-014: bloody good idea though!

5G's worth of Neons!!! It is Xmas time after all and what better way to get into the spirit than to get your car looking like an Xmas tree. :ermm:

Hmmm then while 5G of neons would be cool he did say engine wise hmmm I'll have to go back to drawing board on that one.

I had 5g to spend when my R came in, however it went by rather quick...

$1.4k insurance

$1k+ on little stuff (oil cap, radiator cap, clear lenses, fuel pump, gear knob)

$256 service + $120 compression test

$150+ in wax / cleaning products

$990 in labour to fix a $50 heater hose (don't ask)

$220 to prepare the car to get over the pits (which it did on its first go)

Around $50 worth of temp permits, with more to come

$400ish in alarm / immobiliser components (cost price - this isn't inc labour which I've still yet to pay my mate for! Plus its going to get upgraded consistantly over time to be more hardcore than Fiddy Cent)

Then fuel from all the trashing I have been giving the car since.

I've still yet to pay stamp duty on the car which is $1500ish, then rego of $400 odd.

Then I want tint on the car - $350 odd

Need the a/c regassed - ~$120

Need a new clutch in the next month or so, esp when I take it to AHG and the plex sometime in next month - $1-2k

THEN the last performance thing will be is to install new injectors, cam gears, get the thing tuned etc and that will probably see no change from $3-4k. *sigh*

Sh*t can happen quick...maybe just enjoy the car for a few months in its stock form and save up some extra cash (maybe another $5k) and do things in one hit properly the first time, the last time. Unfortunately for me, things haven't gone according to plan and I've had to fork out on expenses I didn't really plan on occuring.

I actually was gonna get a 4dr 34 back in '04, and spend 10k on it and make it some 400+ hp machine.

Good luck with the car dude.

    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
    • It's also the reason neither Duncan or I can own a car rotisserie
    • this is the reason we have more than one child right?
    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
