What are you planning / Suggestions
1 Attachment(s)
I was reading through super street magazine the other day and noticed a section where people submit photos of their cars, tell what they have done, then the editors offer some suggestions for future mods. Thought it would be a cool idea to try on here. Hopefully it won't die in a troll like fire...
So here is my car, currently sitting bone stock except for a shift knob... lol Future Plans: Dropped on Eibach Sportlines until I get coilovers Volk TE37's Invidia N1 exhaust Then figuring out where to go with performance mods. John |
Good luck... My car is above the readers ride area but not feature quality. Your parts list as nice albeit average but nonetheless clean... I'm sure you can get your ride in the readers rides section.

OP, make more posts on the forum, everyone and their brother will tell you their opinions.. there is NO, as in ZERO shortage of that on here haha. ;)

2004 Track
Current Mods: Nismo R-Tune Headers Nismo R-Tune Cams Nismo R-Tune Intake Nismo R-Tune Thermostat Nismo R-Tune Clutch and Flywheel Nismo S-Tune Suspention Nismo S-Tune Front and Rear Sway Bars Blacked out 18 inch Volk GT-Cs Custom Headlights with 8K HIDs and Eye lids Custom LED Side markers Brembo Brakes Brembo cross drilled rotors Hawk Racing Brake Pad Next Mods: Whats next/in the works right now. Building my custom 3inch HKS Ti Carbon Single Exhaust setup along with the worlds 1st Built RB30DET 350z Setup. I will be parting out the VQ and all the other motor mods after we install the RB30. Looking to make 800hp to 1000hp range with full boost at 3,500 RPMs with a Single Turbo HKS TZO4 setup along with a 3 1/2 inch Custom HKS Intake System with a Full Carbon Fiber casing with a Cabon Fiber Strut Bar and Carbon Fiber battery and brake fluid covers. Also making a custom Trans mount to use the our stock 6 speed trans which will also be getting a full rebild to handle the extra power, so no need to go out and buy a RB25 trans. As far as exterior mods go, im only looking to get a set of 06+ headlights and black them out and also a set of 06+ LED Tails, also looking to repaint the car as the stock DB Color, black out the emblems and throw a Mines Carbon Fiber Front lip on and put some Carbon Fiber B Pillers on as well as a Carbon Fiber Air Duct. Also going to throw some Spacers on the Volk GT-Cs to give it more of a flush look, might go with a 19ich Volk GTC setup to fill in the fender and a wider rear wheel to keep the extra power on the track. Keep it clean and sexy, not into the whole body kit/Ricer thing. https://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6379/69762965.jpg |
Clean Car man! did you paint your LED markers? upcoming mods sound awesome!
Thanks for the post! |
Pretty cool idea for a thread. This could almost be like a basic listing of everyones cars and what direction they're going with them... Anyone with a build thread should include a link to it in your post!

ANY REASON IN PARTICULAR YOU WANT TO GO W AN RBDET VERSUS AN RBDETT? THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THOSE IN EXISTENCE ALREADY.. IS IT JUST TO BE THE "FIRST" OR AM I UNAWARE OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT YOU LIKE ABOUT THE SINGLE TURBO VERSION? just curious was all...
About this thread tho... in a perfect world.. or about 4 years ago.. would be a cool thread, but i give it 1 more day until emo 17 year olds ruin it, period. Unfortunately it will quickly become a circle jerk dreamers thread about xxr wheels and illest stickers and plasti-dip door handles. The sport has two distinct followers now: those who bought new for 35-40k.. and the kids that bought new this year for 13k w over 100k miles on their cars. IM sad i have to say so... but yal know its true: SO.. inb4itgetsretarded. |
well hopefully if they do get in here we can just ignore them instead of get all twisted and flame.... HAHA...
to each is there own... but XXR wheels.... cmon' lets not bring them in the thread. |
08' NISMO.
Bought completely stock. I have installed a GReddy Turbo Ti-C TD Exhaust. This is how it was when I put it away for the winter. Winter's plan: GTM TT & OS Giken Clutch & a lighter flywheel. Hopefully run like that for the summer, following winter hopefully pull the motor and replace with a built something....... |
just sayin, its gonna happen man.
Ok, to to further discourage those certain offenders from "contributing " limp wristed mods posts, i too will pull out my wang, drop it onto the table, and show it everyone. :) not a dreamer list, this is all purchased and paid for right now. i think im at about 20k spent on this go around. :) haha. Currently in conruction and FINALLY near the end: built DE/single FI, 500 -550 daily on pump gas maps, 6-700 hp e85 maps... dependent on if my clutch will hold it. I aint going 6 puck til i have another car to drive in the spring. CP pistons 8.5:1 ARP head studs and ARP main studs Cometic head gaskets Crower Sportsman rods Crower valve springs and retainers Fully blueprinted engine build DW 850cc 1000cc injectors depending on what the tuner tells me to use Return fuel system.. not sure whats going in yet. OSiris pathfinder cooling mod mishimoto rad and caps Powerlab single turbo kit ONE OFF: Precision Turbo 6262 ball bearing billet wheel turbo Tial wastegates and BOVs Sound Performance boost actuated exhaust cut out on the downpipe Reverse Y into the existing XO2 exhaust already purchased and awaiting a car i can actually drive is : New wheels, Forgestar F14 20x9.5 and 20x12 running 325 25 20 Pirelli PZero Nero in back Elia wing, imported from Germany ( same as lester wing) removable top section of the WRX style wing allows the use of a giant APR GTC500 wing for functional days AUto Innovati pushbutton keyless ignition KUDA cell phone holder ( like the ones on any-s.et) false floor sub box for JL 13TW5 Alpine reverse camera Seibon carbon fiber door panels w custom suede work to match the rest of the car and keep my arm from burning in the summer multiple carbon fber hoods are all getting cut n rebuffed n cleared to cut the yellowing back out. SUmmer hood has much larger vents, veilside version 1 and vis fuzion both hoods are getting sharpie graphics and covered mostly in the same flat black Sharpie ghost graphics across each side of car onto rear deck covering all carbon fiber up on the car.. no more multicolors showing dual tone air horn so ppl get the fawk out of my way current headlight rebuild happening now ( will have a thread w pics.. because its SOOOO easy no one should ever pay for it again): already painted semi gloss black removed single ironman halo inside projector removed greddy led strip ( meh) moving from an STI lens to a better sti-r lens replaced 10k garax bulbs w 6k bulbs.. the blue got old. replacing with three daisy chained halos inside projector housing for iron man effect added a pure white AAC fully visible halo to the outside of housing as a drl, switches off when parking lights or headlights are turned on red led demon eyes inside the projector housing , switched and also wired to dome light so they operate when car is unlocked until ignition is started. and to top it all off... TWO JDM squash air fresheners beyetch. Yes, my den currently looks like an operating parts store warehouse. |

Just wanted to say, I REALLY like the idea behind this thread.
Here's my 2 cents. Got my dream car fully stock with 73000 on the odometer. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o...1-dscn3584.jpg Absolute first mod was my S2000 antenna. Best 20 bucks ever. Started the itch. Here's where I stand now. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x...0/DSC_0052.JPG Goals: do all work by myself. Grippiest, non outlandish but classy exterior. While Muscular. Resemble this flat black 996 in fitment. Powerful NA sound and responsiveness. Boost with great responsiveness and moderate power. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-G...lack996rsr.jpg ~What I have~ S2k Antenna JWT Popcharger 15% Tints all around 19 inch Wheels with meaty tires (I want grip man!) Stance Gr + True Coils - Front and rear camber/ Toe arms and 15 mm spacers Muteki extended Lugnuts ~What is in the Works~ Upgraded SPL Steel Bushings MRev2 plenum + spacer ~Future mods~ Veilside 06 Lip Blacked out 06 Headlights Remodel interior SGM Longtube Headers Possibly AAM Y pipe/Test Pipes/Agency Power Single Exhaust with Bumper Tuck Uprev or Cobb Tuner ( must do homework) Upgrade LSD Final step 2+ years. Build engine and Boost>>> |

I'm not looking for opinions... just what other people are generally doing, and what they have planned.
Also, that 996 is OM NOM NOM material |
