Now with the exhaust is different , I didn’t go with Chinese brand like what I’ve got now and FYI I didn’t have that install it was from previous owner , it’s still loud but I don’t like it as it didn’t sit very well.

With genuine Nissan’s exhaust yea it’s good but it’s not loud enough like how I want it.

So I go with HKS , it’s loud enough than the current.


Now questions - do I need to re-tuned the car with the new exhaust ? What about the horse Power , would it impact ?

If it's a cat-back system it won't affect the stock ecu tune. It will have sensors before and after the cat converters so it should just flow more at high revs and sound awesomeness at idle. If the original Nissan system had reactive mufflers at the rear and not straight through you might loose a bit of bottom end torque but gain more power at higher r.p.m. A proven hks product will just bolt on and be mint for what you want (moar top end and moar noisy) unless you've changed the tube size.
Sounds like the bushes are dead! 
I noticed when we went to mighty car mods you had a massive clicking at the front end like cvs on full lock when parking. Won't be anything to do with clunking though.

I would think the upper control arm bushes could be pressed out and replaced from experience. But I've never owned a highly technological beast like your bad boy. On the cars I've owned it would be just do both sides with nolathane's? Red bushes are stiffer and faster.

Josh said the same thing about having the cvs in full lock - and it’s not a safety concerns.

But the sounds bugging me ! Can you help ?

    • Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks
    • Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks
    • Nice work on the paint. Those 3 studs are long as. 
    • Hi everyone, still chasing a bunch of this stuff. Thanks
    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
