    Brand new OEM front lower control arm ball joints:

    Super easy to install. Had all 4 done in under an hour. Surprisingly easy to separate the arms and ball joints, only took a couple hits with a ball peen hammer. Major difference now, she's soooo tight! Lol.
    Next order of business in no particular order:
    AEM wideband
    GTR or aftermarket front buckets
    Divided twin turbo pipe
    New coilovers (to replace my shitty Tein's)
    Rear strut brace
    Whiteline swaybars
    Hicas delete
    Larger fuel pump, injectors, and pressure regulator
    Sticky tires (Dunlop star spec I think)
    Repaint R33 GTR rims
    Battery relocate

    There will probably be more, I'll add as I think of it.

      Winter grippers are a little stretched. Went from 255/40r17 to 225/45r17 for winter. So far so good.

              Two shots from the last autocross, with the R33 GTR rims painted black.

                Always a sucker for a nice looking black bnr32. And good call on the ball joints, many many people overlook these when they have sloppy suspension

                  Those look awesome, they suit r32s so much better than 33s! Still got the xd9's too?

                    Nope! They're on my 33 . James, coming along nicely! Some better rubber and you'll be catching up to me around the autocross!

                          Just one for now, and I have to swap the mounting brackets on the rails to fit the driver side. They are only bolted on and have a light tac. I have access to a welder so the swap should be easy.
                          One seat down, one to go. Hopefully I can snag a GTR passenger seat over the winter.

                            I guess , not sure why I didn't think of that, was thinking of my gtr seats, the rails don't come off, I just put a set of leather nismo seats in mine, pretty sure there knockoffs, the price was right and the look really nice, basically brand new,but the quality of them is not so good,they kinda wobble and bounce when your drivin, I don't really like em, thinkin about getting my gtr seats leather wrapped

                              Getting my Recaro installed. I cut the old mounts off the rails and am now in the process of welding it back together on the driver side.
