Hey guys.

Well. after one of those days of a closed door meeting with the boss, suprisingly walked out with a bonus. Yay was that a relieve.

Anyways. Point of the story. Ive now got $1500 to spend.

Now i guess that gives me 3 options.

- Tell the wife and spend it on the house

- Bank it

- Splurge it all on the car

Ok. I already think ive made my decision. I currently have a set of MT streets coming my way (got a drag day on Nov 23). As well as a set of 18" Enkeis coming my way also. Car in question is a 96 R33 Gts-t with all the main mods running STOCK turbo.(with no goal of upgrading), as well as Tein Coilovers. Car mostly see's street use with bit of Drag thrown in.

Just a case of deciding what to get.

Things i have come up with so far

- Whiteline Sway bars

- Remap Ecu

- New seats

- GTR spoiler

- Anything i cant think of at the moment!!!

What would you's get. Anything that might take off a tenth or 2 off the times without requiring turbo change would be good. Although car see's just as many show and shines as it does drag days. So the seats and spoiler would be alright too.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers. Luke

Hiya Luke,

Don't you get the guilts?

Your wife loves you very very much!

You must do the the fair and right thing by her!

Don't you feel sorry for her whilst she waits for you to say that...

i) the meal she made was tops

ii) the magic in bed was the best you ever had

iii) you can give 10 reasons why you love her to bits

iv) you'll take her 'parking' in your Nissan and give her an ECU (Electro-convulsive-underbelly)

and then...

hand over to her $750!

Being all generous (and buttered up), she'll say,

"No You Keep Half Dearest!"

Now that $375 + $750 (still in your pocket) = $1,125 for your ECU (from F/S on SAU) and Tune!

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
