Hi All,

Thought it would be a good idea if we were all to post up what our favourite mods to our cars are. Thinking this will influence eachother to what people have done and what theyve found to be most rewarding mod.

When posting your favourite mod please include how much it cost you, why its your fav. and if its not an "off the shelf" item, where you got it done/made

To kick things off: :(

Favourite Mod:

EBC (electronic boost controller), Greddy Profec B spec II ( $350ish new from whorebay). Followed closely by SAFC II.

Why I Like It:

Made the stagea so much more lively with only a few extra PSI. The ability to have granny spec (Lo) and goodbye petrol mode (hi), I personally think are a must if your driving ur stag as ur only car.

lets see how this goes :)

External gate and TD06 i had on my 180.

Whole setup cost me over 3K

but damn it was worth it seeing the face on the trev went u went past them with the gate screaming and the tyres turning!!

God i miss that car.

But other best mod done for sure was a slightly illegal one :P 25mm wheel spacers, transformed the handling on my R34 drift car, made it sooo stable.

best stagea mod... well havnt driven one long enuf to mod one yet... they keep breaking on me...

Tough call...

In order;

1) Fuji/Kakimoto exhaust combo - niiice sound & very nice increase in power (looks good too :P )

2) Nismo LMX5 rims - work beautifully with the sky blue, huge grip increase over stockies (Kenda types)

3) Opening up airbox - doesn't run out of breath now.... at all.... ever

4) Hi Flow Turbo (T3 core) - only logs in at number 4 because I have not installed the Emanage Ultimate (next - can't wait!) or a boost controller.

too hard to say best mod, for me, lol 'cause Ive done too many

a) hiflow turbocharger (but to choose that you must include the Toshi ecu remap, the safc/sitc/z32afm/adj.fpr/ebc combo) and dynotune setup

b) automatic gearbox shift kit

c) whiteline swaybars and bilstein shocks

More boost... Only mod ive really done as exhuast, induction ect was already on the car...

Why.. Becase its goes harder and i love the look on peoples faces when they hear a wagon screaming past with a nice flutter at the end :dry:

I don't have a favorite and some are not installed in the car year but anyways.

in no particular order

1. Rims (18" BBS Rims - came with the car)

2. Exhaust

3. HKS GT2535 (Not installed - will be very soon)

4. Cooling Pro Stealth Intercooler (Not installed - will be very soon)

5. Blitz SBC iD Spec-R Boost Controller (hopefully to be installed this weekend)

6. Stereo

JJ bellmouth dump with X force hi flo cat and 3" cat back. $400.

My $20 two stage boost control, better than earthing solenoid, caus its controlable and a fuel saver,

well where do i start:

1. $15000 stereo (includes 6 tvs) always entertained

2. Greddy cams love that lumpy idle (louder than my old mans V8)

3. Having a 260rs

4. 300km/h dolphin speedo that was customised to illluminate blue

1. zaust.... nuff said.. that alone is the best bang for buck and gives the car more pickup.

Fuji and hks re pretty pimp..

i was lucky enough for my skyrine to get a CMS custom exhaust ( turbo back) for like 500 bucks.. ( second hand)

And my stag came with one, that with a pod i put on its pretty niiice.

With a fmic id be pretty stoked..

Theres an S15 im looking at now (99% in the bag, deposit down) that has every mod under the sun done to it already bar a turbo ( hes giving me the manifold for it as well).

When i took it for a test drive it made me happy in the pants...looking foward to tomorrow when i pick it up :banana:

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
