Hey all,

I've kinda got to the point now where i've got to decide whether to keep modding my 32 gts-t or consider it finished. I think the car's potential was always limited (due to it's age and my budget).

When i got it the car had:

Apexi pod filter

Custom mild steel cat-back with Xforce cannon.

Unknown aftermarket shocks (pink in colour.. were on the car when imported apparently)

GTR Wing

GTR front bumper (missing lower lip)

Now the car also has:

Custom box and cold air intake

Greddy FMIC

Turbotech boost controller (set to 15psi)

R33 GTR Fuel pump

RB25 turbo

JustJap split dump pipe

Xforce HiFlow Cat

Greddy PE2 Catback (replaced droning Xforce)

Locked HICAS

18" DTM Wheels with Federal 595's

GTR Front lip (painted black to match car)

Midnight express tinting

MOMO Race steering wheel

nismo shift knob

6 speaker mp3 stereo

I've also ground and bogged a small amount of rust, and removed the aftermarket radio antenna the previous owner cut into the car :blink:

I've had the car almost a year now and i'm pretty happy how it's developed. Question is, what (if anything) do i still need to do to it?

I'm considering strut braces and maybe some slotted rotors... but not sure it's needed. It might be time to just start saving for a new beast. What do you all think?

dont waste time with a 25, if you want save for an R34 Gtt, or a 32 GTR, depends on your budget.

But it sounds like your happy with the car as is, im sure youd be happy to further mod it, but if your not craving it might aswell stop and save for bigger and better :P

No point in building a 30 unless you are already up for a rebuild. They are however, a LOT of fun in a 32gtst.

If you like the car and plan on keeping it, give it a much needed power upgrade, dropping a 25 in there is the smartest move :thumbsup:

drop the boost down to 12-13 psi, 15 is just blowing hot air?

at least get a safc2 then u will have a decent power upgrade

after that its pretty much done for stage 1

next step is turbo upgrade along with supporting mods or engine swaps

can sell it and for the price of a engine swap u can pick up a r33 (best bang for buck cars imo)

stronger box, phatter engine, modern interior

32 GTR or 34 GT-T pending budget is also very nice!

    • Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?
    • Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.
    • Saruthewhite hasn’t been on our site since November 2016 sorry mate
    • Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
