Advice on mods please

[JohnnyR31Silo]

Hi I’m just wanting some advice on some mods for my silhouette? Iv taken already taken off the stock air box an put in a pod filter and what not.. I’m just wondering what’s a good exhaust to throw on to get that nice RB sound as well I do plan on chucking on a turbo Iv heard that you need a 3inch exhaust when you throw on the turbo an hear when it’s n/a you can get 2 1/2 inch exhaust so any advice would help and be appreciated even any ideas on any other mods as well here’s a couple photos of my 31 

let me know what use think of the air intake an what not aswel cheers

Might be a stupid question but If I end up getting the 3inch exhaust can I run it on my car n/a will it change anything on my car in a bad way? Cause I just want to do a few things to make it sound better and go better as well get a few things done before I throw a turbo in it.. If I can put on the 3inch exhaust what one would use reccomend so the car doesn’t sound like shit any advice would be appreciated thanks

Exhaust to suit turbo will sound like loud arse on an NA.

Been there done that. First thing you should do is cover/seal that pod filter, or install standard airbox. Sucking in hot air does nothing positive for your engine.

Sell your 3" exhaust and buy a GTS1/2 style exhaust manifold (6 to 2 to 1). . Buy two fat mufflers with 2.25" ends, then take it to your nearest decent exhaust shop and ask them to make you an exhaust with mandrel bends. Sound done.

Get a 'hotter' camshaft and Nistune. Install and tune. Upgrade suspension and brakes. Replace all flogged out bushes (e.g. rear trailing arms). Also invest in a working LSD. Learn how to drive, go to track days etc.

Once you're confident, sell the car or go all out on a turbo build.

I’m already changing the front bushes I’ll get the mechanic to have a look at the control arms as well

It will be loud, drony, harsh and f**king awful.

Click on the links in my previous post. Literally everything you have asked has been covered before you were born.

@GTSBoy

another question I'm looking to eventually get coil overs for my car just wondering if use know any good ones where I don't have to spend an arm and a leg... I seen on eBay 1500 for only 2 lol.. I'm willing to pay 1500 for a whole set of 4 but yeah so any advice or links would be appreciated by the way I haven't done the s13 suspension conversion so I'D need r31 coil overs 

[niZmO_Man]

Angry Industries had a sleeve for the front, you need to cut/weld your struts. The rear I think there are available replacement struts (S13 with top hat adaptors?).

Yeah I asked angry Industries no go, am i just better getting king springs all around? Bit cheaper less f***ing around and what not cheers 

[niZmO_Man]

I got some HR31 struts, lowered springs (unsure of brand) and KYB dampers, was fine for daily use.

[JohnnyR31Silo]

I doubt I'd be able to get Hr31 struts r31 parts are getting much harder to get specially hr31 

[niZmO_Man]

There are options for standard R31. I got the HR31 struts for the 100mm brake caliper mounts

pretty sure these bolt straight onto the r31 don't they? They suit the stock 2 stud bolts on the front end so no need to drill another hole for s13 front end, planning to install these on my r31 once the money comes in

[JohnnyR31Silo]

If already got the extractors an exhaust done next will be getting alarm system and coil overs and saving up for vlturbo manifold.. was gonna do the cams but might do that last struggling finding any good cams especiallu lifters any links to help with that would be appreciated cheers

[Ben C34]

You only have one cam. 
don't waste your money changing it mate

[The Bogan]

What do you use the car for?

For the amount of money you would spend getting 20hp out of the 30 with NA mods, you could have a good chunk of cash towards a little boost netting alot more, lots of kits available 

You would need a few drivetrain solutions though

Hammer time

[JohnnyR31Silo]

I won't bother with the cams then 

If anything I'll just finish the handling first before I even throw in a turbo 

Just wondering anyone has much advice on the sway bars been told to get 27mm front sway bar and then dual sway bars... problem is I want to drive the car as a daily but at the same time if I want to have a little fun I'll do it but if heard dual rear sway bar will make the rear to lively for a daily car any advice? As well I'm not sure why I'm being told to get wider sway bar on the Front?

[Ben C34]

You  still only have one cam mate

 

who says use two sway bars?
