1991 Fastback LE
Strip the car and lay out everything in my garage.
Rebuild my KA a do a basic turbo setup, FMIC, etc...
Redo suspension with new arms, coilovers, bushings, strut bars, swat bars, Z32TT brakes, racing hart wheels...
Have the body panels fixed up and add a subtle body kit, probably PDM.
Respray super white
Try and fit HID in my popups <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
Redo the interior all black with leather s14 seats up front, leather s13 seats in back.
Add a nice stereo.
Clutch work and VLSD too.
Have an better sunroof put in.
hell, I give up, I can't list it all in order. With an unlimited budget, it would take months to do....
I can dream can't I?

Well since I don't have a car yet I would buy an Fastback.
S13 SR Blacktop Swap
5Zigen Fireball Catback
FMIC (not sure which one)
Injectors
TT Fuel Pump
a couple APEXi electronics
CWest kit
Paint Job (black, not sure exactly which black but I have seen it on a few cars, but all were aftermarket paint jobs)
Tien full suspension
sruts and swaybars.
17" 5Zigen Typhoon (Gunmetal)
300ZX Brake upgrade (front and rear)
S15 steering wheel
Custom guages (try to make em look like S15)
Kouki Taillights
Type-X wing
S15 turbo
Reulphoster interior black and silver
CD player and CD changer
2 Infiniti Basslink Subwoofers (depending on if they are good or not, but I heard good)
Some nice racing tires
Since I live in chicago I would have to get a 4wd car for winter. I would look into importing an EVO 6 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> or getting an Infiniti QX4 (gotta keep it Nissan)
Well all that will probably not happen for a bit, but the SR should happen in less that a year <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> .

If "money ain't a thang".... then:
Base car:
S13 fastback (I'm starting to miss my fastback, and I've got an S14 already.... )
Engine:
VRH39, pretty much as is, and anything I'd need to install it, moving the firewall back along with the dash and front seats for better weight distribution (we can't just stick [probably] Nissan's best engine into an S13 and hope for the best, now, can we?)
(option 2 I suppose would be a VK45DE de-stroked and turbo'ed).
I'd buy a good AC TIG welder and lots of titanium stock, and carbon fiber material and buckets of epoxy (we're talkin MAD CASH here).
Exhaust:
Custom made Ti exhaust (pretty much necessary with the engine)
Custom made Ti intake manifold and piping.
Suspension:
Do they make Zeal Super Function coilovers for the S-chassis?
Cusco swaybars front and back.
Custom mounts for the Cusco swaybars (don't ask).
Ti Front Ladder Bar
Ti Rear Ladder Bar
Ti Rear Cross Bar
Cusco Strut Tower Bars
Cusco Adjustable Rear Upper Tie-Rods
Cusco Adjustable Tension Rods
That's the most of it, really. Everything is just little tiny details, like spending money on wind tunnel testing to make a carbon fiber rear diffuser, replacing the rear quarter windows with a smaller window and carbon fiber panels to fill it, doing a ton of crap for weight and aesthetics.... etc.
Basically, all you SR or KA or RB loving fools would get toasted. Toasted good.
