hmmm just cracked the 40g all up (20g for car)mark myself. As everyone knows, there's always something else you need. Yes we have cars as money pits. Just ask yaself, what else would you spend ya money on if ya didn't have a skyline ??? Maybe a house, but that's about it.

If ya girlfriend or wife says you spend too much money on ya car....Tell her that you could spend a million on her but she won't do 12's down the quarter mile :D

Im one of the little spenders at the moment but its in the process of changing.

To date i have only spent the following

-Gauges-500

-Rims-2500

-Bc-35, bought one of those manual ones from mark. his thread is in the forced turbo section,awsome bit of equiptment.

-tinted windows-300

other than that not a lot. Some of the mods were already done like tein fully adjustable suspension, pod filter, 3" from the turbo back.

have plans for a fmic soon in the next year for only 700, then it will continue from there.

Love these cars, its just funny how silly little comodores keep trying to run against me, even though mine is a mild tune, so i can only imagine how some of the guys in this forum must blow them apart.

By the way Packy love the comment about the missus.

way 2 much but its fun 2 drive and its what i want.

i'm with u Jason...

too scared 2 put a figure on it, but with new engine/gearbox i'm having so much fun i forget about price anyway...

Theres at least $5k there on engine mods to get it running mid 12's , not bad when you think of it that way.  What else can beat it for the money?

A CBR1000RR fireblade doing low 10's for $19000 new from the dealer :D

Had my R33 for over a year...

cost $18k imported and on the road

$40 to replace the buggered rear speakers

$15 for new wiper blades

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
