Some Pics of the car i took last summer . . . shitty camera i got a new one now {used the new one to take pics of the parts you'll see a difference for sure.}
Summer day out front of my house,when i had first got her! (before i got to add me personal touch still love the stock look but time for a change!!!
) :drive:
^----The Engine Covers / Intake Plenum will this year be painted from green to Gold.
My list/pics of parts i accumulated over the End of 2007 summer/this winter.
You'll find out from the following pics and list that Carbon Fiber is starting to be a little bit of an addiction for me (an expesive one:hit_head: but pure SEX)
1. Exhaust
Sending off the HKS Carbon-Ti to get a 304 stainless 3inch pipe w/ De-cat exhaust from my dump pipe (also 3inch) and pending on the cost and/use maybe a screamer pipe!! (Cheers Braden @ JNS for help on this!)
Gotta love 4.5inch outlet
"Thats a serious tail pipe" Zing!!
2. Footwork
Picked the Kei-Office Height adj. Coil-overs up off C-Unit (Cheers to G-Lab) to help me out with my 4WD like stance and to start the foot work off properly. I only showed pics of 1 front 1 rear cause i didnt want to unpack the rest as you can see the pics are all taken on my bed (thats right i sleep beside all this . . . LIKE A BABY!!8-)
)
3. Chassis Stiffening
So after careful consideration and talking it over with some member here at the site and buddies i landed on Cusco as the company that will handle most of my chassis stiffening and when i saw that they made Carbon STB's for the GTR i was all over it . . . and after some consideration about my plans for the car decided against a full cage and will stick with some more bolt on stiffening if you are wondering what the aluminum piece is you can see it on RHDjapan's webiste under Cusco Tri-angle Trunk brace.
4. Brakes
Since track is the build setup i am aiming for i knew that brakes would be very high on my list. As this year will be my first for weekend tracking i decided that i would tackle brake fade as much i could before i hit the track. I have gone and changed my Rotors to KVR slitted Front (Cheers Malibusst {Manny} for these) and EBC Slitted rear (need to pick these up still), and changed the lines out for braided steel,pads for EBC Red-stuff (GTR-Dad, Dan thx to your posts) and lastly will change to RBF600 brake fluid in the summer when its not soo crap out :hit newb:!
5. R34 N1 Twin Turbozz
I had a little it of a mishap last year you might have heard (I blew my rear turbo exhaust wheel:hit newb: ) and soo it was time to decide which turbos i was either gonna upgrade to or if i was just going to pick up a replacement stocker. After some research and a great price/help from Timo (Timothy, White wide body 500+hp beast- Thanks buddy for the turbos!!) I was all set and ready to upgrade to a set of R34 N1's w/ Zero shaft play side-to-side or up and down. Story for Tim was when he had bought his car he didnt know he had R34 N1's till he had already bought and swapped 2530's . . .sooo i got very lucky!!
6. Misc/Fun/Ricey (a bit of rice never hurt)
Soo here is the stuff i got for myself and because i like it sooo you have no say in this section whatsoever hehehe:-D :-D :-D
Greddy Carbon/Kevlar Air Diversion Plate help guide air to the right places (Rad/Intercooler) i got this for a great price from RHDjapan and since they don't make them anymore period i was partial to it and soo its mine.
6000k HID Kit. The stock headlights on a GT-R might truly be the worst i ever used.
JDM Weight Shift Knob (cheers Chris, Hope you get a new GTR Asap!)
And Lastly and the most ricey. . . . my shoulder pads/seatbelt guards. All in all i am sure that these are what make my car as fast as it is soo i had to have em!! + they tie in a bit more w/ my red/black interior w/o paint panels cause that is disgusting . . . 
Well hope you all got some good ideas for me and had a good read i will try to update as i get more items and put all these fun goodies on her!!
Cheers again~Dave
