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.

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.

I recorded a video of my car the other day,

Uploaded it up to youtube for you then.

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.

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?

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
