Sound system. The exhaust is silenced egay turd and the intake is dented (doesn't affect performance at all). I'm planning to just get an HKS hi power muffler, chop off the silenced turd, and weld the HKS on there. Way less expensive than the full HKS catback.

first is stance coilovers, second is ecu tune and third is a real short shifter. The previous owner sawed the shifter off to make a fake short shifter. Also I like like solid motor mounts.

Coilovers and LSD. IMO you cant have one without the other.. In my s13's i HAD to get rid of the auto seat belts. Manual FTW

A daily driver...

My 1st 240 was hit by someone making a left turn, and it was totaled. The check my insurance company gave me wasn't even enough to cover the s15 front end.

2 days after getting my DD civic, someone hit it in a parking lot and took off. As pissed as I was, I'm just glad it wasn't my 240.

As for the vert itself, It's between the coilovers, HID's, bigger brakes, and good tires.

The gas I put in it to go sell it.

Paint as its the only thing that slightly raises the value.....

its not an investment

its a bad habit that takes ma money

Prolly either my red top sr, or stance coilovers, maybe both cuz the sr made it faster and the coilovers made it sexy. But on a low budget deff the b&m short shifter, once you own one you can never ever drive a stock shifter nissan.

Fixing the halfassedness from the previous owners.

Stance coilovers, Makes the car look so much better, and feels great.

Yeah the Hi Power sounds sexy as f***. I've listened to tons of different exhausts and it sounds perfect, especially on an R32.

LOL has anyone ever been strangled by there auto seat belts??? I HAVE hahaha. the best investment i put in was a used sub frame and solid polyurethane bushings, my old sub frame was damaged from an accident before i owned the car. but OMG what a difference it was worth the 60 dollars.

Post by **nightsauce** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 10:41 am

z32 brakes, and my freshly installed 5spd swap... :-D

Post by **ThuG LyFe** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:36 pm

selling it to save up for another car.

i loved my car but just wanted something more modern and faster stock since i don't have space/tools/knowledge to work on my car.

Now that I have it running right Im just now getting to where I can really enjoy it. And I wish I did my suspension and brakes first...

agreed on the sr swap haha yet i did mine during summer. besides sr id say exhaust seeing how i havent been able to even drive my sr yet except down the street and back

the best investment I have have into my car would be joining a public forum where there are subject matter experts that can aid and assist as well as provide insight into both common and one in a million issues and everything in between. Also my ability to utilize a search button has tremendously aided me in troubleshooting and customizing my car. Thanks NICO!

my best investment would have to be a complete KADE engine overhaul and new floor boards. My driver side seat fell back last weeks to rusted out floor board..........

Sounds like a good shifter and looks cool – but also looks really awkward? Never seen a shifter that shape...

So it really feels comfortable?
