V35 2003 Engine Mod Help

[KingManu23]

Hi guys

I have a skyline v35 350gt coupe and want to start modding my car and was wondering what the best mods will be to have on my car.... At the moment the only engine mod i have is an injen CAI.

I want to go down this direction:

High flow full catbacks + exhaust

y tube downpipes

Headers

Spacers

What do you guys think?

I am after higher HP/TQ but dont have the budget to throw down 10k for turbos/superchargers.

Any cheap engine mod answers will be really appreciated.

All the reading I have done says don't bother with headers as they are a pita to fit (massive job unless you pull the engine from the car), and have little performance benefit.

But you are on the right track with the other mods .... then add an Apexi SAFCII so you can tune the thing somewhat.

I have APEXI AFC Neo For sale. Brand New In Box.... $400ono

Thanks what about full catbacks and exhaust systems?

What are some good kits to have the car sound like a v8 supercar (roars)

i found one good one on youtube.. any other kits/combinations that sound like this?

Motordyne Shockwave! I got it installed on my car, it's loud and I still yet to install my HFC.

- Motordyne plenum spacer

- Motordyne ART pipes

- Motordyne Shockwave Dual V1 with HFC module (if you can still get this) or Shockwave TDX2

You be set then!

[sheldon2369]

Yep, thats basically exactly what my car sounds like.

Motordyne TDX2, Motordyne Tuning Pipes, Motordyne Plenum spacer - imported them all at the same time, wasn't too costly.

I recorded a video of my car the other day,

Uploaded it up to youtube for you then.

Motordyne Shockwave TDX2 is DEFINATELY the best sounding exhaust i've ever heard but in saying that it will cost you $1,500 + installation (if u don't know how to do it) + shipping

goodluck!

[KingManu23]

Sheldon that is sex on wheels mate.

Sean $1500 +shipping and installation?

Thats very cheap the item on motordyne site is $1635u.s excluding shipping and nothing on ebay u.s that i can find.

[KingManu23]

looking at getting the MD 5/16 spacers.. It comes in iso copper thermal and the basic package.

$50 difference in the two items.. Is thermal copper only needed in really cold weather (snow)?

[sheldon2369]

Hey mate, i wouldn't bother with the thermal spacer. It doesn't get anywhere near cold enough to warrant it.

Sheldon, I didn't know Hilldon Court @ Nerang was a closed street....., but then it looked like you were only doing 59, lol.

Sounds nice - suitable for a young blokes car but too loud for an oldy like me.

My strong advice to you Sheldon would be to take this video down immediately .... police DO check these forums, and they WILL pursue you and charge you for this sort of behaviour - A Current Affair would have a field day with this footage - especially with the people on the street.

[Commsman]

I can see it now: " car hoon narrowly misses unsuspecting bystanders". A certain tunnel video in SA springs to mind....

Good that you pointed that out clearly Andrew. No one likes to see a member in trouble.

I wasn't even driving Needless to say, thanks for the heads up, I was hesitant uploading it for these exact reasons, but at the same time wanted to give an example of the Motordyne Exhaust.

Yeah the tunnel incident is why I am so vigilant about it now. Even though it wasn't an SAU:SA club sanctioned cruise, there were 4 club members involved, which brought the heat on us as a club. I had to meet with the head of SA traffic cops Stuart McLean a number of times and we finally got across that we as a club don't condone that sort of behaviour, and subsequently the cops have stopped harassing us.

It was not a fun time for Skylines in SA though - every man and his dog got picked on for a fair while after that incident.

Have you got software that can black out the image and you just upload the audio with a blank video?

[sheldon2369]

Not a bad idea, But I think i'm best off just recording it at a track / private road. Anyway - back to the topic, Buy Motordyne

If I see you guys on the road, I'll pull you over just for a chat! So don't be too nervous haha. Saw a white one the other day at the bay cruising around. Tempted to stop him and check his beast out!
