If you're looking for brilliant pads that arent expensive, I recommend QFM HPX's... running them on mine and cant swear highly enough about them

No squeals, very little dust, and great grab.

If you wanna know where to buy them through, let me know as well :-)

How much did you pay for the brake pads? I got new bendix pads on the rear they only cost me $80. Haven't really drove the car much yet so time will tell if there crappy or not.

im using Intima SR pads, these are the ones Ben Lipman is using on his track car. i have been using these for around 6 months for every day use and i went to 1 track day with them. little dust, no squeal and no fade. not bad for $130 a set.

Made here in QLD too, so you're supporting Australian made if it means anything to you :-)

**Update**

Went to get roadworthy, Everything is fine now except the height.. If anyone has some stock suspension that i can borrow/buy for roady please send me a PM.

Also looking at seriously going single turbo conversion soon once i sell my S13. Don't know if i should buy all the stuff brand new or get a second hand turbo kit.

** Update **

Hrmm havent updated this thread for awhile now.

Car is roadworthy and has rego on it now.

I ended up getting stock rear suspension for the car and a "stock exhaust".

The stock exhaust i got from the wreckers was a bargin! 3" from the end of the dump pipe to the cat then 3" pipe goes down and splits into 2.5" pipe each side with mufflers and chrome tips. It flows soooooo much better than the previous exhaust i had. And i picked it up for the cheap price of $110 HA HA.

Im enjoying driving such a great car around now.

Let the modding begin!!!

  • Buy FMIC

  • Apexi piggy back ecu to go on

  • Tune

**UPDATE**

Just received my Turbo tech boost controller in the mail today! Very happy with it, and im going to install it after Christmas with a boost gauge.

Ive decided to tune my car as well with the piggy back ecu. Ive been reading up on alot of info about tuning and how to do it. That will be awhile yet until i can afford a A/F gauge and sensor.

Ive Bought some vertex copy side skirts for the car as well, not to sure if i want to keep them though...

Im thinking of getting a Greddy FMIC kit soon too Dean, be good to see some pics of yours on here of the install. :-) I have been told they are supposed to be a straight forward fitting kit with no modifications needed..... unlike some of the other non branded ebay ones.

Hey Tai, no more pics mate. That pic just happen to be just one of the few I took when I did the conversion.

Dean- not much required. The pic just shows alot off because of the conversion. I have seen people fit the kit without even taking the bumper off but having it off is of course much easier.
