Dreaming of mods everyday

Ok how can I get over this?  :confused:  

I drive my skyline daily... to work and back, so about 70km's a day, combined with cruising two days a week, and all in all, a decent number of KMs.

I'm all good when i'm driving it, but everytime I get out of the car, I sit at my PC at work and dream about mods... exhaust, suspension, turbo, power, tyres, ECU, having no traction in the first three gears, running 11s... i'm sure you get the idea.  I go to the extent of pricing EVERYTHING up, reading 50 billion threads about how my car would react to those mods, etc etc.

However... the problem to go with this, is that I can't afford any mods at the moment, haha.  How do other skyline others get over the need to mod their car? :)  I am progressively going insane, and the empty $4k credit card is starting to look friendler towards me!!!!

SELL DRUGS :(

ive set myself a limit i dont want to spent so much money on my GTST so at the end i dont want to say "GEEZ i could have just bought a GTR with the amount of money i have spent"

all i need is a few more hits and im done - I swear , I promise

Front Mount - boost controller - tints and thats it

maybe change my rims but thats it ;)

:) all too familiar...I had my car for a while (a couple of years) before I had the money to even think about putting some decent mods on. When my wallet was thin, i just waited out and found a few bargains here and there ;) that fuelled my dreams at least a little. Now that i'm earning a little more money I'm trying to decide where best for it to go (aside from the credit card :) heh oh well...all in good time.

Best of luck :(

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
