I'd get a 34 GTR Nur, then do an RB20 conversion

Add lots of Jap parts stickers on the front guards

Add some 7' ROH Drift Tech rims with Bob Jane Aussie All-rounders (some 75 series 175 r15s)

Keep the stock exhaust and add the biggest tipped canon I could find

Paint the bonnet and boot black

Remove the rear wing

Add neons inside and out

Replace the tail lights with chrome and LED items

Replace the drivers seat with a quality Riccaro knock-off

Add a 16' sub woofer and 3000PMS amp (in the boot and loose so it rattles) to the standard head unit

Needs a wicked blow-off valve, real loud

7' tacho mounted on the dash with a 2' shift light (keep the car an Auto)

Cover the interior in some cheap Hessian sack style seat covers

Get some bolt (or rivet) on wheel flares

Fill the passenger foot well with Farmers Union ice coffee cartons, and empty Winny Blue's

If money is no iten a bonnet scoop would be cool

Well I got my GTR back from the mechanic tonite after I got 3 minor things done... had a snapped speedo cable, a very strong smell of petrol after the car was turned off and I had my cusco master cylinder brake brace installed.

I thought it'd make a little difference, but its really really firm now... totally worth the money imho....thanks to Road & Track for the labour and ISC Performance for the brace itself...

So now my speedos fixed, car doesnt smell of my precious 98 octane, and the brakes are firmer than an athletes arse...

Waiting for interior parts to arrive before I re-wire the boost controller into the glovebox... new interior parts to replace the old crappy plastic ones that some japanese dude decided to mount one billion gauges on... drill holes ftl.

Then I suppose its replacing my busted front splits and getting a sub, and getting a replacement gearbox and the fitment of the jim berry clutch.... then I suppose the EBC green pads and RDA slotted and dimpled rotors... then I guess I'd save up for the garrett turbos, fuel pump, injectors, afm's, cam gears, cams, fitment of the n1 waterpump of which i'm yet to pay sled.... not to mention fitment for all of the above..... and after that I'd get custom dump pipes and a secondary barrel muffler from Exhaust tech...

and then i'd wank out on the cosmetics. Bayside blue spray on the r32 gtr body. sanded back to the undercoat so the crappy quality paint the predecessor used doesnt cock the whole job up. Perhaps candy electric blue. if i win a lottery... I'd get the interior retrimmed in some kinda of leathery shizzl. I'd like the interior to look more like a classic british roadster or italian sports car aka leather and more leather... oh, and some R34 GTR rims would be sicker than the sickest sikh that ever caught a for of sickness...

now thats fooly sik. uleh.

-D

no money spared I'D get that bodykit + rims. (normally not a fan of kits, but this is an exception)

Click me

Only I would have some crazy super rare FJ24 in it.

I actually have both these items sitting in a spare room. The EBC Green Stuff brake pads have done stuff all kms - I could probably give you an exact figure if I dug up the receipts. The R34 GTR rims are MINT - I think you've seen them. I may consider selling them soon (the rims that is). If you want the brake pads let me know.

hmm....

fix up the misaligned front panels.

hid conversion.

ucf30 big brake upgrade.

yella terra supercharger.

have the box rebuilt by mv.

fit an lsd.

junction produce coilovers.

f package interior, and complete black leather retrim.

widebody conversion.

bare metal respray in black pearl.

buy and fit bens wheels ;) (18x11 -19 f, 18x12 -31 r)

new sound system.

If he doesn't want the pads and you want them out of the way let me know..Ill buy them.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
