The Tax man was king enough to give me a PHAT ANDY return (i finally got off my ass and did it)

So... what should i spent it on?

I've got around 4k to spend.

What should i do???... what should i buy ??

I've had my heart set on R34 GTR wheels for ever now. So i'll probably get a set since i've got the cash.

But that leaves me with around $1500 still to go.

WTF do i spend it on? help me out! lol!

There are a few options im thinking:

1) Brakes - my front custom set-up with a two piece rotor/slots/braided lines etc.

2) A Tomei Cam & 33 GTR seats

3) Better rubber (semi-comps) for my 32 gtr wheels

4) Put it towards a good 2-way locker

5) R31House vented bonnet

All the above come into the $1500 mark or close to it... so many choices, i just dunno what to choose damnit :)

Injectors/AFM etc... that's done (well its not but its already allocated)

So maybe cams it could be :)

I dunno about any other wheels. I just love R34 GTR rims.

I dunno why, but i reckon they look hot on an R31.

What wheels are on Leewah's again?

as stock 34 wheels have the right offset, but aftermarket wheels for GTR's my car is gonna struggle with fitting legally

If you are serious about doing some track work then Id get the brakes upgraded.

Ya dave/andrew.

That's where i am heading towards. My brakes are average.

But then... if i do what your doing and get sponsored, brakes might be part of it possibly.

Hhmm.. so many damned choices lol!

bonnet: bonnet makes the car look tough..

Seats: you sit in the car every day.. want something nice and comfortable. I'd probably go towards recaros, Brides or something over GTR seats (which are rocks).

I forget the R31 seats.. but if they are decent enough, get em retrimmed and reupholstered in leather or something if they are reasonable shape and you like them.

What about rollcage :) might need it.. lol

More ideas than i started with lol!

Roll-Cage i've thought about.

That will come later on i think. Not at present.

Lawyer - Typical of you. Might get your ones number :)

Rebuild - Yeah, i know it's coming. I'm fearing the day it does.

But the car will have a conservative tune to make it last.

I get approx 45k in 4-6 months for various reaons.

So the rebuild might come from what i have left over after buying a house :)

nope lol!

we actually start working on it tonight.

My mate has been busy doing a RWC for his mrs car.

She takes obvious precedence. So yeah. tonight we start.

Measure pipes etc. Get it TIG'd and not much more required.

coming from someone who has driven your car get those farkin front brakes fixed i know the rear is all sorted and now bigger turbo = better brakes

or just be LEB SPEC and put more neons on it Or a huge wing :)

bonnet hmm yummy :)

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
