350gt Skyline / v35 Modifications?

[Callan13]

Hi guys, bought a 350gt skyline 2004 a few months ago and wanting to make modifications to it, but I'm brand new and know absolutely nothing when it comes modding cars / making upgrades. If anyone has any tips, that would really be appreciated. 

Things I want to do but don't know how:

- Make the exhaust crackle / louder
- Back window lip
- Rear diffuser for a 350gt

Any other suggestions, I would love.

Welcome.

What do you want to modify it to do, go faster, go much faster, sound better, look better, stop better etc etc....lots of ways to spend your hard earned!

Yeah. 18 year old car. Spend money first on suspension bushes, brakes, tyres, before spending anything on the (relatively) useless stuff in your list.

Yeah, making sure everything basic has been replaced, so we've put a bit of money into making sure that's all good, so now it's just wanting to make it sound a bit better and look better, but I'm not sure about buying parts or where to look if that makes sense.

Well, any exhaust shop can make you a (better**) exhaust. I grew up in an era where there were no off-the-shelf exhaust systems for anything, so I simply don't see the allure in buying a brand name Jap exhaust.

** Better is a debatable term. On one of these cars, an exhaust will make you exactly 3/5ths of f**k all extra power, and on a VQ just makes that horrible V6 noise.

As to a lip and a diffuser........well, the lip might do a little something something, above 180 km/h. The diffuser will do precisely f**k all. So.....what's the point?

Well, on sound better I'd put a slightly larger exhaust on and a pod intake (with a shield from the engine bay). Will go approx 1% better but sound much better.

Looks are pretty subjective....many people start with wheels
