Hey guys,

I figured we could make this fun for our RB community...so we can look back at it 12 months from now.

What are your car/RB goals for the 2008 year...

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?

What type of Build do you plan?

What time do you want to run? track related?

And any other car related goals for this year.

i just want to get time to get my full race manifold and gt37r on and then off to the tune shop with the f-con v pro. 11's would be nice to achieve. having free time would be even better.

Well in the spring cause it's freaking -17 here right now lol...get the lower injector isolators in,get the tune tweaked just right,new rotors all the way around and pads,S15 LSD,Possibly rad and meth injection,and for god sakes pack the wires away off the floor and detail the car and enjoy it this year.

Next winters plans are a bit more exstensive....

Also hope to god I run 12's with this thing dialed in at 18-20psi.

First, sell my 240. Then...

What are your car/RB goals for the 2008 year...Attend at least 4 drift events (limited because of school/money). And an easy, reliable 300whp.

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?Get more suspension parts so I can have more than just coils. Then, fmic, elbow, downpipe, decat, boost controller set to .85bar, aluminum radiator, diff, hicas lock bar, oil cooler, and some other random parts.

What type of Build do you plan?Mild, bolt-ons only.

What time do you want to run? track related?I don't drag.

And any other car related goals for this year?Win a drift event of course!

I'd like to get a Silvia front on this winter (since my current frontend has been blessed by a deer). I wanted to get a power-fc, upgrade turbo, and injectors, but will probably get a FMIC, greddy intake manifold, relocate battery, redo my wire harness for a nice wire tuck, paint my engine bay, new clutch, and coilovers this winter. Then in the spring upgrade my brakes/wheels/tires and some paint. Then Summer time get a carputer. Then save up the rest of the year for a turbo ect.

By march;

Get my exhaust manifold back from jet-hot, bolt on my wastegate and finish building my new downpipe. Modify my exhaust for maximum ground clearance.

Send my injectors to get flow testedChange timing beltChange transHave it tuned at AMS. Buy DR's

Maybe a different FMIC that is wider, my buddies all crack on me because my front mount looks teeny. Also a shorter core height would be nice, alot of mine is blocked by the bumper.

Ducting the front end to keep the motor cooler, and maybe a new radiator.

All in all, not TOO much to do.

I would love to spend more time at the track (never have consistently at all), and less time wrenching.

I will keep modding until I see at least 400 rwhp.

Well, mine's almost done (long wait for the cams from japan)...

My goals are At least 300whp at 18-20psi12's (I think a high 11 might be too optimistic, but I have hope)

Most of all I hope it holds together, because another new years resolution is that I'll only go through 2 motors in '08.

Im going to hit the midwest drift events hard this year. If I can find time off work. Id be almost done with my car but they have yet to release the 08 FD rules. So I cant weld my cage in yet. This years car is fully built. Ive spent 2 years redoing this 240.My goal for the year is just make it to the track and have a good time. I plan to drive this car hard this year. Im going to need a new chassis next year any how. I dont think FD will let my 240sx truck pass tec. So this might be a 1 year chassis. Just means I can drive it harder.Who knows we might meet up twords the end of the season in Navada, Kamin good luck!

What time do you want to run? track related?I'm hoping to break out of the 14's . My times at the strip were severely hindered by stock 205/55 all-season radials and subsequent wheel hop. And any other car related goals for this year.Get featured in a certain Nissan magazine if all goes well.Pull massive tail with it...from my gf I suppose

Mine is currently running great, so my list looks something like.

Upgrade management

Upgrade injectors

Better coilovers.

A nice set of R comps for the volks

Hit up a couple road race and auto x events and just generally drive the heck out of it .

Suspension, weight reduction, tires, and zex kit. We'll see how it does after that and go from there.
