You are missing the point of this car. You can literally do anything you want to it and it will (mostly) work. Sure you should maintain it, but its essentially a fuck around car now.

I will. I'm just saying that this impulse that people have to mod their cars for the sake of being a special snowflake doesn't make them special when so many people do it and more often than not makes the cars worse which is why the resale value of their cars fall while stock ones rise.

It's possible to mod a car well. If done properly it should be hard to tell that it was modded at all.

>>16260008
>more often than not makes the cars worse which is why the resale value of their cars fall while stock ones rise.
This is why non retards mod salvage title cars.

Buy a nice theft salvage cheap, and go crazy on it. It is never going to appreciate.

OLD SHIT GETS SCARCE
DEAL WITH IT
You don't buy a GTR to keep it stock. You buy it to actually make the best use of the engine and drivetrain as possible. Keeping shit stock is for collectibles and new cars. The GTR is for racing. Not babying.

>>16259927
Also titanium bolts. Proper oil catch can/air oil separator that dumps air back into the intake. Oil cooler, dry sump conversion if you track the car, Ohlins DFVs. Plenty of shit to do if you want to mod your car.

>>16260086
nice way to waste money for nothing

>>16260086
>Proper oil catch can/air oil separator that dumps air back into the intake
Yeah, feels good not getting that nasty gunk into the intake. Got one from radium engineering after cleaning the intake when I bought my m3.

>>16260052
>gtr's are for racing
The post said skylines which includes far more than your choice of circlejerk.
If you think they're made for racing you should see how they don't compare at all to actual modern racecars.
Face it mate, they literally are collectibles at this point.

>you have to mod your car to be a real enthusiast
What's the logic behind that?

>>16260052
Oh, I am dealing with it. I already have plenty of milsurp from before prices spiked.

If you guys want to ruin your shit I sincerely don't care. If anything you should so I can profit more on the rise in value from people destroying their shit because they couldn't leave well enough alone.

People buy shit like shitty aftermarket rims, half-assed shit lowering springs, some shittily designed straight-pipe exhaust, awful intake that introduces a bunch of noise to their MAF, toss on a massive turbo that starts making boost at 2000 RPM below redline, an undriveable clutch, a hacksaw body kit that fits like asshole and does nothing but make your car slower, and more. If people want to do that, more power to them. But if you're literally asking for my fucking opinion, don't be surprised when I take a shit on it for making the car worse.

Other suggested mods:

Silicone hose kits
Mishimoto Alu radiator
Mishimoto Alu fan kit
Dry carbon trunk, CSL style
Dry carbon center console, CSL style
Dry carbon roof
Dry carbon rear splitter, CSL style
Dry carbon front lip spoiler, CSL style

If you can't tell, most of these mods are going to be dry carbon pieces based on the M3 CSL.

Yeah but it's a pathetic statement since anyone can be an enthusiast if they feel like they're making an effort into the hobby like the stance cunts on youtube or a rich boomer that doesn't know shit about the mechanical things about cars but collects them or especially the autist that does maintenance on his stock shtibox because he loves it

I bought it because it was a low mileage gsr that was unmodified, unriced, and hadn't had the engine ripped out to be dropped into a civic.

But it's mine and I love it. Fuck you.

And yeah, plenty of boltons I can put on it to get a minor power boost and make it louder that really won't take long. But that's just my general rule.
I deliver pizzas during the day and drive 2 hours when I get off to my next job and I really cannot be assed to get stranded because of my own shitty work. I'd rather buy another sub-10k car and fuck with that and drive the Integra

If you are going to get a project car use it as a project. The e46, aka the subject of this thread, and most Nissans are project cars. If you need a daily get a car that cant be used as a project.

Also not all projects will take it off the road for all day.

And really dude, it's got like 175 HP if that.
She's not going to become a god killer without some serious work which would definitely effect my mileage and reliability, so is the 5 HP from an exhaust system and CAI really well spent money considering its 1,000 dollars or 1/3 of the price of a Miata.

>>16260369

Most people on this board have never even come close to doing ECU tuning because even the "real mods bro" people on this board are fucking idiots that don't know the first fucking thing about machining or engineering.

Sorry, I'm not going to stance an LS400 like 80% of the retards on the Lexus forums. Nor am I going to throw some shitty K&N filter on it.

I'm thinking of doing something about the horribly designed exhaust headers but the ECU is encrypted and no simple solution exists for a remap. A supercharger is doable but would only be able to operate within the confines of the stock map. I'm not going to put a standalone in it.
