hmm wut more can you do?? i think 2.5 headers back is too much flow. this isnt performance but maybe you could get a camber kit if you dont. since your car is slammed. i wonna see what wheels you go on. maybe get an underdrive pulley for power if you want more power and bored TB. i think the 350z colour but a bit darker would look nice

Wow your either really young or you don't know ----.

2.5" exhaust system isn't too big. A camber kit isn't needed with a proper alignment. Underdrive pulley's don't "make" power. A bored out throttle body won't do him any good if his intake manifold/head combo can't flow the extra air.



Firstly you need to get your car fixed. It's cheaper to do all the bodywork all at once. So when your getting your rad support and hood fixed, you might as well go ahead and do the rest of the body work your planning to do. I personally think the aztec green of the gsr looks good, so I wouldn't do a colour change, but that's for you to decide. But get your car fixed up body wise so atleast it's safe for you to drive.

Next I would get the ball joint problem sorted out if you haven't already. Buy new OEM lower balljoints for both sides, the grab the whole OEM upper control arm for both sides. If the OEM are too expensive your other option is grabbing a Omnipower, Skunk 2 or Progress camber kit, since it will come with the whole arm and upper ball joint. Make sure to get an alignment after.

Then grab a set of shocks that match your spring rates for the goldline springs.

Performance wise, get your car tuned!!! It doesn't cost too much and our vendor -------- does tuning. Call for pricing for your setup.

P.S. Get a 2.5" header and highflow cat to match your cat-back to get all you can out of your setup.

the ones that brett has were from some guy on G2IC who needed to clean out his garage. as for if they're authentic or replica i dunno. Brett told me they have the Mugen badge sunken in to them so i'm guessing they're legit. you can get replicas from RevAuto but it'll cost you a pretty penny. i'm still contemplating if i wan't those or the ones i already have

i have EK's. i still gotta send them out to get cut and fitted and it's gonna cost $160 for work alone with stainless steel brackets. either setup will cost over $200 after it's all said and done. maybe closer to $250.

get some omni's from optionjdm. best bang for your buck. and i know how low you wanna go. type-r ---- won't fit on a G2(atleast not to my knowlegde) both optionjdm and -------- are in Scarborough. check the vendors section all the contact info is there and use mapquest or something to get directions.

ya i haven't heard from him in a while either. last i heard he had the rear sping in and it was really low so what he did was put on coilover sleeves to raise it up a bit. he bought the front suspension forks from me, he was gonna machine them to fit a G3 strut.

I picked up a oem cf hood, morosa strut bar for the front and my tires and rims mounted. Special thanks goes to my best friend greg pryzk for drivin me to t.o to get all the parts throughout my project.

Most overall goes to my g/f for goin through all of this. On the hottest day of this year came with me to missauga to get part's. In which she was late for work. Also yesterday picking up my oem cf hood tires, rims, not having any room to see blindspots hehe. I love you oksana. It will be 1 week until my car should be sprayed subura world rally sti blue metallic pearl.

exterior will be- itr front lip, and a backup lip jdm cf.
amber and clear bumper lenses for different looks.
s2000 side markers (stanley jdm)
mugen sideskirts.
Mugen replica rear lip for 1990 bumper
jdm thing side molding's ( super rare)
jdm 1 piece's (soon to be a 6500 hid k)
red and white 1992 cleared tails.
oem cf hood
1992 gs-R badge
work emotion cr bronze rims, falken 711's brand ------- new.

The rear 1.4 panels from the back of tailights is GONE cut rite the ---- out, replaced with brand new rear 1.4 panels including rocker panels for both sides of the car. All of the rust will be cut out and a new piece of metal will be welded in place done professionally. The guy who is making all of this happen john roy, who really works hard to do the job to a full extent. Its been 3 weeks since he has had the car, we had to wait on the rear 1.4 panels from cali. Ill start posting pics of the car once my gf is back home.

This will be one clean da. Next year i plan on to boost the motor, clean it get it machined and new pistons. Get it built to hell. Then do a wire tuck while im in there. Add a oem cf hood hatch with fal window.

Just some of the new goodies I got for the car. Since september I have 11,000 in the car. When i was 17 i payed 2000 for the car which it had 180,000 km's.

Then I got the headlights,tails,soundsystem,gsr motor, lsd short geared tranny, stage 4 racing clutch, lightended flywheel, prelude green top injectors. Also a aem cold air intake, aem fuel rail,polished my valve cover, cf spark plug cover, itr retainers and valve springs, skunk 2 or aem cam gears not sure yet. A sick greddy header, 2.5 inch exhaust stainless steel with no rez and a highflow cat with a oem looking magnaflow muffler. Also a b and m short throw shifter,lightened pulley,new timing belt, 1 inch thick sparco plug wires,skunk2 intake manifold. A vtec pr obd 0 ecu with a mugen chip done by neetronic's. That's all rite now i got done to the motor. I need a place to tune it on the dyno so i can get the most power out of it.

250+200 = 450 hours. multiply that by $20 per hour, which is really, really conservative, that's $9000.

yikes for that kind of money, that car better turn out mint and completely rust free...
