it all comes down to how much u wanna spend. spoilers usually anywhere between 50 - 150 from a wrecker or www.r31skylineclub.com.

to really neaten up a pinny is ride height......they look 1 million times better lowered.that can be a pricey mod though

wheels is a common one. only need 16's to really set it off. see my ride in project cars section (ill speak to u about offset if u decide to venture down this road)

replacing the bus of a steering wheel
zorst

thats all i can think of atm...far too early in the morning
And there's not much I can say
But we miss you every day
And I'm bitter 'cause it's unfair
We'll be drinkin' in the sun
Playing music having fun
Cause one day I'll see you there

i think the r31 series look better with a lip more then a spoiler.

Im also an adeladian so if u need any help with places them PM me.

If u want good suspension stuff go talk to PINR-31 on the www.r31skylineclub.com forums. He knows some great people for that.

CV - Driveshaft and steering, Ween road pooraka  <---- best place for suspension parts 'on shelf' on the northern suburbs
King springs (cheap and stiff), KYB shocks (cheap and durable), Polyurethene bushes for anything thats perished under there
Go in, ask for a check up, they do free quotes if your willing to buy something, Bob in the workshop is a champ
www.zimports.com.au <---- head down there, he has a few import spoilers on a rack, try and dry fit a few see if they look alright, i'm sure he wont want more than $50 a pop
Front spoiler - bout the most you can do with a series 1-2 pinny front end is s1-2 silo add on lip, search around a few wreckers and there should be at least one ripe for the pickin....s3 front bar will fit with a bit of fiddling, can get 2 sorts of fiberglass lips for them from a guy here in adelaide for $200 or MFX auto styling in NSW for $135 (I bought a MFX lip in a group buy situation).

You've got me on msn, any q's, shoot

Thanks dude.

I went down to wingfield the other day to zimports, they didnt have n e r 31 spolers so i tried some others, but they wern't square enough or not wide enuf, but a mate reckons he knows a place down south road on the other side of adelaide which deals with new ones for all cars, so im waiting on his word.
