1st thing is to ask your insurance company what they will allow you to do.

The start with an exhaust, air filter and a front mount. then BOV I would say

good starting point then the possibilities are endless hehehe

Something tells me this is an N/A...

Hey Tony - yeah he said it was a GTS.

33Spec: congratulations on the car, looks very nice (just like mine! ). In regards to body mods, I think the side skirts and rear skirts make the car look good. The car looks a bit round under the door without them.

Also, the Nismo chin spoiler is cool, but some people like the S2 stock, your call.

Pretty much anything will void the insurane if its not "standard". Even if its like racing pedals, which to me would have no discernable difference to the way the car drives, they will want to know about it and it might effect the amount you pay. Some of it makes sense, but in general its all a scam to get you for more money.

Best thing is just to ring them "I am thinking of fitting a xxx to my car, how will that effect my insurance?" and they will give you the answer. Depending on how much you want to take the risk, you then do it anyway, or just go without.

Remember if you are involved in a major accident, and you have fitted something you haven't told them about, and they happen to go through you car with a fine toothed comb (which has been known to happen, but not many times) - they are on the right side of the law to not cover you at all for the claim. If you hit a porche then...

[Timmy G]

It shouldn't matter what you hit in an at-fault accident because 3rd party will cover the other cars.

They could say they won't pay for your damages though.

Dont forget that some specialist insurers like Just Car and Famous allow unlimited modifications.

If however, you are talking about a standard insurer like Nrma etc then mods will more than likely void your insurance.

It pays to double check before you do the mods in any case

tlai909: you beat me to the N/A comment, first thing i saw was the 4 stud wheels

[T0nyGTSt]

It was the 4 stud lamey wheels that gave it away...

I would think conversion to 5 stud GTS-t hubs would not be cheap?

pfft I would of thought fitting a turbo was just a given and didn't need to be said.............. hehehe

[33Spec2]

Thanx 4 all the comments!

Yeah i thought about buying a turbo but insurance is a bitch!

so i think ill wait a couple of years when im over 21 then fit a bigger turbo unless you know anyone that will insure me for an imported turbo its a no go DAMn insurance companys!

Also thanx 4 the bodykit ideas Timmy G i might hav 2 get me sum of them! 5 stud conversion 4 the wheels interesting! does anyone know how much this would cost another thing is my car is being complianced as it just came from japan so i dont get the wheels you see so does this mean i can get 5 stud ones?

[JH32]

why dont you get the wheels?

you probably misunderstood them when they said you need new "tyres".

there's no point in changing to 5 stud by the way.

there are plenty of 4 stud wheels that will look good on the car.

[33Spec2]

Oh yeah thats wat i meant but if there is good 4 studs like you say then i wont bother changing to 5 stud

thanx:burnout:

[SKY031]

Don't change the colour!

Metal Sky ROOLZ!!

:uh-huh:

wanting to change from a 4 stud to a 5 stud...sorry about this...that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.???? why would you want to do this? to give people a false sense your driving something ur not??

5 studs wont fit on a 4 studded axel anyhow? and I imagine it would be costly and a waste of time to do so!.

[ninjadust]

dont be so harsh on the fella akeenan

anyways it can be dont but it is time consuming and costly.. i wanted to do that also, change from 4 stud to 5.... mainly coz the turbo parts are so much easlier to come by and swap around rather than the 4 stud kind, and i had my eye one these mags that only had a 5 stud pattern......

bottom line if u got the time and $$$ and there is a point to the plan then do it, but if its just to have the fakeness as akeenan so nicly put it, go break yo self!?!? :lol:
