My Car
My car is a 1999 Japanese domestic market S15 Sec R. It's been imported into New Zealand as a second hand car and I'm now the second owner. When I got the car it already had a body kit, lowered suspension, exhaust, air filter and R34 Skyline GTT rims. Since then I've only done a few minor modifications to it:

Front pipe and dump pipe 3" all the way
Koni adjustable inserts
Whiteline alignment kit front and back
Rear Cusco strut bar
Splitfire ignition coils
Gizzmo EBC boost controller
Gizzmo chipped ECU
Walbro fuel pump
While certainly not in a high state of tune these basic upgrades have provided some excellent improvements to the overall factory package. Next on the list is:

Cusco front strut bar
Nizmo front and rear sway bars
Front mount intercooler
Oil temp and exhaust temp sensors and gauges
