Diff 1.5 or 2 way. Use crown wheel & pinion gearing suited to the particular engine you're going to run

Tyres

Radiator + air guides

Brake pads/fluid/lines + overhaul calipers

Clutch + braided line. Lightweight flywheel.

Adjustable suspension links front + rear

Coilovers front + rear

Pay to have someone setup your suspension properly if you don't know how / want to get running sooner

ROPS

Seat + harness

In-car camera for use as a review/training aid

Spend time running it like that and learn to drive with stock power level for a season or two. Add up the costs above, IMO those are the things required for reliable, safe track running. If this is your first track car, you do not want/need 300rwkw. Plenty of fun to be had <150rwkw

Personally I would be doing these:

- The usual mods (exhaust, intercooler, pod or panel filter (your choice).

- Oil cooler

- Good tune

- Coil overs

- Sway bars

- Strut brace

- Decent tyres

- Brakes (rotors, pads, oils, braided lines etc)

Do a track day with these mods and then see how you are going.

Suspension, brakes, seat/s, harness/s, tyres, oil cooler, a real catch can, ROPS, replace all bushes, 1.5, full service on all the oils and fluids, to start with.

Dont overboost it and dont run it on the limiter

Is it going on a trailer or stay regoed ?

Remove all unneeded fat, carpet, deadener, A/C, trims.

Is the car stock or modified ?

Money to burn ? carbon everything, full strip rebuild, aero, dash, flashing lights and bells and also whistles, see the superlap site for details

i have an R32 - which im thinking of turning into a track car.

what mods / work would you recommend? (dream big guys and gals - would rather do it right and spend extra $$ than have a half arsed effort)

thanks

Look at existing 32s that are going fast at the local track here ie. sub 1:15 kind of lap times - and learn from them.

Dont build a christmas tree, they are rarely fast.

bugger all that! do what i'm doing and chuck an ls1 in your 32.

much cheaper, lighter, just as powerful and you can be a trend setter, not a follower.

besides that how much fun can you have with instant torque?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
