Get this Nismo throw out bearing too since it's cheap (~$20) and flush your clutch fluid.

I read it makes absolutely no noise compared to the stock one.
My clutch is worn out too so I'll upgrade by the end of the year.

No they don't. It's not common or required but a good idea.

Really? I want to convert my 5at to a 6mt and was thinking about getting an R34 6mt. Now I know I have to do some research...

It's hydraulic fluid just like your brakes. When you change your pads/rotors you typically don't change your brake fluid. Same thing.

The new big style is the no-lip style. I have always liked it but it's hit or miss with many.
For the price of those wheels I would rather upgrade the turbos on your car since you said you maxed them out. Just saying.

My car has enough power for me. Can't keep traction as-is.

If I put that kind of money into my car it will be a widebody with fat lip wheels.

I'm always spending more money on it but have been keeping it lower cost stuff.

Trying to finish up the wire tuck and engine bay re-model before the big sedan meet in September.

Other than that, just the new axles and trying to pay off debt from this car!!!

Widebody, thats was what I was thinking, but yeah i'm tapped out too, and after awhile i'll probably get sick of it and want something else. maybe a S5

does anybody do a widebody for the sedan???

No, it will have to be a full 1-off custom widebody.

I was thinking a coupe front end conversion and a custom rear widebody.

Just finished my latest project with a ton of help from Kevin at Nichols AutoFab, the same guy who did my exhaust.

We cut out the spare tire well and plated it up with steel.
We moved the fuel system and fuel evap box back under the car where they belong.
Now I have room for the diff cooler and pump I want to put together.
Wow that fuel pump is loud LOL.

There is still room for my amps and stuff in what's left of the spare tire well so with any luck I can put it all back together without any major mods to the panels I built.
