Nah, it'll look arse I'd imagine.

Battery strut brace is a sick idea, especially if it's adjustable and therefore universal fit to a lot of cars.

Unfortunatly all the gtst versions of skylines look like ass.

[MrWindsurf]

I hope it's related to power department.

DBA4000 slotteds

QFM A1RM pads

Braided Brakelines

800cc Sards

Nistune

Tomei Cam Gears

Basically getting most of the supporting things done so when I eventually do the clutch. I can just get some new snails bolt on and bingo bango extra power.

[Count Grantleyish]

3 of mods in power department...

[MrWindsurf]

Yep but I'm not expecting to see any more power. It's got some Nismo chip thingy on the ecu at the moment.

[Count Grantleyish]

Ah, tuner reckons it's possible to take the chip thing out and install nistune in or?

[MrWindsurf]

Nah got another ecu with a nistune on it, so just unplug one and plug in the the other then tune.

[Count Grantleyish]

Ah cool, what turbos are you getting on later date?

[MrWindsurf]

Probably -9's I'll probably only head to the track a couple of times a year so I want something thats nice and responsive on the streets. Having 300awkw is the figure I have in mind. Then I'll turn my attention to a nice set of coilovers then the car will be pretty much how I want it.

[Count Grantleyish]

-9s will suit your application perfectly.

Even on track for standard or built 2.6.

[MrWindsurf]

Yeah, I've been doing my research should be all good. Gotta save for a nismo twin plate clutch next, they are pretty damn pricy but from what I have heard totally worth the money.

[Count Grantleyish]

Sounds like you've got heaps of mods lined up.

Nismo Coppermix is well worth the money, having driven friends 26 powered GTS4 after hard driving at DECA, clutch felt like stock, very impressive.

[MrWindsurf]

Yeah lots of mods lined up and no money to get it all done. Just gonna have to nurse my bank accound back to health after this round of mods and start to stockpile parts all over again.

[R-SPEC]

Grant what year is your R? how many K's?

[Count Grantleyish]

Hehe, know the feeling.

[Count Grantleyish]

Grant what year is your R? how many K's?

'96 about 85,000kms.

[MrWindsurf]

Geez that's low Km's for the year

[blah_blah]

Grant what year was your R? how many K's?

FYP brah

I wouldnt go the A1RM's if your car is a daily.

They are very harsh when cold and will chew through your rotors in 20,000km. Although are very good, its not worth chewing the rotors.

I ruined my rotors from 20,000km daily driving. Contacted QFM and thats the explanation they told me.

Use the QFM HPX's for daily and the A1RM's for track.

Ive made the choice to go gtr front bar on my gtst... but i wanna keep my foggies... has anyone seen a gtr bar with the grille bits cut out where the foglights sit so you can still use / see them?

Foglights ftw!
