  1. If your simply after a nice note, STAY AWAY FROM GENERIC BRANDS! I have a NISMO exhaust and I frequently get comments on the note. I wish I had a video, cos it sounds awesome! Brand name products are the way to go
  2. Yokohamo C drive. You wont regret it!
  3. I gotta get around to doing the same thing.. and get some wind deflector things! They are awesome! Looks tops Eugene!
  4. Hey mate. Im looking for the front upper control arm nut and bolt that attatches the outside of the upper control arm to the strut assembly. Still have it? How much you want for it? PM me! Cheers mate
  5. I wouldnt even consider buying an auto S! The control you have over a manual you'll never get from an auto
  6. Nismo or Tomei 2way mech LSD! *DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL* And then a drift day!
  7. Just a quick side note, if your car is really low your going to have to pay special attention when welding the front pipe (between the cat and the headers) as the headers hang low and LOVE to scrape!.. ask the exhaust shop to try mount them as high as possible.. I already have a hole in my headers
  8. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...llic+resonating Yeah.. Answers on the second page.. I grabbed a simple Nismo 3 inch cat back. Generic exhausts brands will do nothing but make it worse.. its worth investing a good second hand brnd name exhaust..
  9. I like this Only girls and posers drive supras. The diff with CAI and cat bick will be minimal, but responce should be better. Depending on the side of the cat back you may gain a little more power up top but sacrive responce down below. Very minimal gains though
  10. Like hanibal said. The 150 odd kg doesn't hut fuel consumption too much with no more maintancence that needs to be done than a GTST. What are you using the car for? If its just a regular steet car id highly recommend a GTS4. The ATTESSA system is an extra saftey net to catch you when things get hairy. The only down side to a GTS4 is that you can really feel the extra 150kg being thrown around and lugged around. Another downside of a 33 GTS4 is that its not as easy as a 32 to lock into RWD. On the upside the ATTESSA system is quicker a 33 than a 32. The reason I bough a GTS4 was for the extra grip (even though its now being used as a drift biatch) .. and there is a HEAP of it. I also like the notion of RWD and AWD car without having to think. Its also different.. GTST's are spreading like AIDs.. so why not get something different? My vote is for a GTS4
  11. Sorry guys!.. But Final Konnexion is teh shiz! http://www.finalkonnexion.co.jp/lineup/lineup_nissan.html
  12. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...alic+resonating You dont have to deal with it guys!.. just dont buy cheap generic exhausts! They will do nothing for it but make it worse!
  13. Your not trying hard enough.. The RB25DE is (in my opinion) pretty under rated! My 25 has done a fair bit over the 100,000km (couldnt tell you exactly as I didnt mark when I swapped the engine over but perhaps close to 130,000?) mark and had copped a HEAP of abuse! With the right set of tyres it will easily spin 1st, 2nd, 3rd and with a little bit of force, 4th at drift days. Its seen the rev limiter more times than I care to admit. Its been to several track days (and on semi's even over took a stocko XR8 on road rubber through the twisties and a short straight ). Its seen a couple of motorkhanas as well as countless hundred km of abuse through the twisties. Also bear in mind that its a GTS4 (so ~150kg heavier than your GTST's). So a GTST should be even more nimble and light. I cant really stress how much it has copped! The best bit about it? Never, ever, EVER skipped a beat! Not even a missfire! Its a daily driver too. Soon enough I will have the option of dropping either an RB25/30DE/T or RB25DET VVL in it and you know what? I dont think I will! It is a bullet proof engine. I admit its not the quickest thing in a straight line but you need to learn how to extract the most out of the engine. Especially in short distance point-to-point driving it was just as quick as other R32 RB20DET's with similar mods. In an perfect world, id like to strip the attessa system, hicas and intrior and keep it as a road registered race car and buy a daily VW MkII GTi or 190E Merc.. but the work involved in that is simply eye watering. But id still keep my 25DE!
  14. I too never understood why people did it.. I just thought it was shits and giggles.. But am strangley tempted..
  15. Question is, how quick are your reflexes? hicas will make it a little "fuzzy" to predict
  16. How long is a piece of string? Are you looking for times on the track? Because in that case you could smash your times by simply slapping on a set of semi slicks.. and I mean by several seconds.. There was an add on the forums where an Evo was fitted with a set of HSD HR coilovers and simply from that cut their lap time down by another second. There are many many variables in this though. Can it you hit the mark on every corner every lap?
  17. The best modification you will EVER do to ANY car is a good set of rubber. I know it can be expensive but its well worth the money. This will decrese braking distances, allow you to carry more speed through the corners and let you put the power down earlier. Once you have a good set of tyres you can look at upgrading suspension parts. Strut bars are a cheap, easy and effective first mod. They will stiffen the chassis up, give you a better feel of what the car is doing and stop a little of the body roll. Get yourself a set of adjustable strut bars and you can help cancel our understeer or enduce more oversteer. At $200 for a set of front and rear second hand items, well worth the money and awesome bang for the buck. Sway bars are also a good option of you dont want to go down the expensive and uncomfortable path of coilovers. They will lessen body roll and combat weight transfer with no massive down side. Prices do very, but general concensis is about $250 per sway bar. The thickness of the sway bar will also deretmin how flex it will cope with and hence aloow for more or less bodyroll. Adjustable ones are the best as you can customise how the car handels around your driving style. Sping are shockie set ups are readily available with many big name Jap brands (Nismo, Blitz etc.) releasing suspension items. Have a look around the forums and ebay because you can pick up a second hand set of spring and shokies for less $400 quite easily. The spring rates on these are also far less harsh than coilovers. Far cheaper too. There are also products out there with damper adjustability (but no where near as many levels as coilovers) On a quick side note, not many people use, for some extremley strange reason, (but are AWESOME) are progressive springs. Where the further the spring is compressed (ie, on a bump or during cornering) the stiffer the spring rate becomes. These are optimum for steet use as they are fairly soft over general roads, but once you begin sticking the car into corners and the weight begins to transfer further, the spring compresses further and becomes stiffer, slowing down and stopping the weight transfer once there is enough of it on one side of the car. Id go as far as saying that a good set of progressive springs and shokies on a steet car would be better (and quicker) around twistie roads vs the same car with a set of coilovers as they do offer a some bump absorbtion and weight transfer. These are also very comfortable to drive on. Your last option are coilovers. Very expensive (in the thousands of dollars) but do very depending on brand. These are generally pretty harsh on the road (you do get used to it after a while though) and offer the best handeling characteristics but at the cost of comfort. Added bonuses include; damper adjustments and hight adjustment on most products. On a track though, these are the pick of the lot, you wont see better gains than sticking in a set of good coilovers over a set of springs and shockies. And yes, as Nath pointed out, if your going drag racing a softer spring is a better option. if your going drfting its pretty simple from there - just set everything to F.T (fugn tight) and go for broke. Hope this helps
