Hi everyone,

I stumbled across this site a few months ago and haven't been able to get enough of it! As you can see from my profile I'm an Aussie living on the beautiful Gold Coast.

I've had my SX-R for just under a year now and I absolutely love it. In fact the only time I don't love it 100% is when I go for a ride in my friend's 300ZX twin turbo and she floors it. But I'm not prepared to spend the kind of money it would take to get me engine to do that so I'm content with it how it is.

That said I'm keen on the cheaper mods so I'll be putting a cold air intake in soon. And maybe get the exhaust done later as well.

My last mod was installing a kright rider type LED array in my centre brake light - but don't worry it's not as geeky as it sounds! I designed and built it myself so it does all sorts of cool patterns. It also only comes on when your foot is on the brake and for the first 6 seconds will just stay on normally (for safety reasons). I assume it's not really legal so I make sure if there's a cop behind me I don't leave my foot on the brake wink.gif

As much as I love the aesthetic of the 6th gens I still feel there's something missing. I was thinking about a body kit but can't find any that I like. I don't mind the Invader style ones - except for the big 'folded' sections along the bottom. I think I would just prefer skirts and splitters but am worried that it will make the car look more like the aesthetic of a Holden Commodore - which I think is the ugliest car after a Volvo!

That said, the SS-III splitters seem to look OK. Are they (or something equivalent) hard/prohibitively expensive to get here in Australia? I don't have a massive budget but I am proud of my Celi and I want her to look top notch.

Wow this post has gotten pretty big. Thanks for reading! smile.gif
