What would you do? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok if you had 5gs and a stock S13 what would you buy with that 5gs.

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 02:23 PM

1.) tune-up (get the car 'healthy')
2.) suspension (coilovers, adjustable arms, bushings)
3.) Diff

ONE HELL of a night at the strip club...

Seriously though. Do some searching on here and look at some of the common mods.

Wheels
Tires
LSD
Coilovers
Misc Susp components

Or you can just do an SR swap right away and some minor things, but that's kinda weak.

What are you plan on doing with it makes a difference too. Are you gonna get with the drift, grip, show(hope not), drag...

ALTRNTV · 02-24-2006, 02:28 PM

Get an SR20DET, upgrade the turbo and manifold, get an FMIC, bigger injectors, fuel management, and boost 12psi. Don't worry about the suspension or anything.

Anyways, go with what he said.

-tuneup (fix anything thats broken, or do general maintainence, such as flushing the cooling system, brake fluid, spark plugs, etc, etc)
-suspension (coilovers, suspension links, brakes)
-LSD

It all depends on what you're going to do with the car, but a good tune-up is always a must.

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 02:29 PM

Hahaha guess you all cant answer the question.I asked what would you do.Now as far as searching,Im doing a S15 front end Conversion,COilovers,Exhaust and LSD and probley strut bars in the front.

ALTRNTV · 02-24-2006, 02:31 PM

What I would do? See my reply.

EchoOfSilence · 02-24-2006, 02:32 PM

tune-up, multilink, bushings, shock/spring or coilovers, brake system, tire/wheel, a seat. that's pushing it

kensreliableb18b · 02-24-2006, 02:36 PM

yeeeuuup, tune up, clutch lsd, coilovers, SEAT, and go break something

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 02:38 PM

Well I will obveisly do a Tune up first but thats my list.If you all think I should do something differant let me know.Now I see I still know what is best whew I cant wait to have this completed.

EchoOfSilence · 02-24-2006, 02:40 PM

completed? lol. good luck

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 02:48 PM

Well step one get the car lol hard to do when in IRAQ.But I will have it they are everywhere.But the setup is preping me for a KA-T.the Kit is cus I want to look good as well and when I go to get the Intercoller on I want to have a nice Fierce look.

Get the Invader front. That's pretty fierce.

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 02:55 PM

Wow, we all answered your questions and you say we haven't?

Don't do looks until your car drives well.
Do suspension first. You don't need power until you can out-drive your car as is. Suspension is the weakest link after a good tune-up. Stock KAs have more than enough power, if you say no.. you don't know how to drive it.

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 02:58 PM

well the front I want is already decided its the Origin Aggressive its sleek but nice and sharp and the S15 lights look mean already and on a S13 wow.I also found the S15 Rad Support and that I will get as well which makes it Direct Bolt on.I going with Megan Racing Coilovers,Apex-i N1 Evo or Apex-i GT Spec Exhaust cus it will be turboed in the next 2 years.

kensreliableb18b · 02-24-2006, 03:01 PM

gtspec is a better deal over the evo cuz it already comes with a silencer

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 03:04 PM

Well also the evo cant fit the Silencer in very well as well and thats the only other draw back.But the GT Spec is more then Likely going to be what I get.

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 03:05 PM

good thing you actually listened to what everyone suggested.

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 03:08 PM

Hey I am and have been a member here longer then alot of you but I just dont have as much time and when my car get taken I was highly depressed my 1997 will long be remebered but now its time to but its child and make it kill most everything out there alive and a new ass.

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 03:11 PM

Wow, you've been a member longer. Cookie?

You aren't going to make your car "kill everything out there" by upgrading your AERO first, and not being able to drive it.

ALTRNTV · 02-24-2006, 03:12 PM

Of course he'll kill anything. He's getting the S15 front!

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 03:14 PM

Well if I had a additionl 4gs I would do my turbo first thats the only problem even though the KA can handel 350 WHP on the stock block with good tuneing and well Your right cant drive it why CUS IM IN IRAQ but thats ok I was not being a ass just should have added I can listen preyy easily cant flame people when you asked what they would do.But hey to each their own flame away if you like.

ALTRNTV · 02-24-2006, 03:17 PM

Why don't you just get some suspension and a LSD, then go KA-T? Then do the rest later on.

S15 front is unnecessary.

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 03:22 PM

Nasty not in a good way. You'll have stock suspension on a car with power you can't handle and you'll end up wrecking your aero 'cuz you'll spin out all day long.

Well the reason is I want to have a good looking car,If I was able to turbo the car right up front I would.But the motor will be to high of miliage and I want to rebuild it I will be getting another motor once I move to my new huse when I get back,Im getting out the military but I have a job setup at the pentagon and I will save to rebuild the bottom end of my awaiting KA and when that is complete add the turbo kit and all the componites Im not getting the Greddy kit is a POS kit for a cheap person and mainly a show Kit.

Hey go read a few post back and see if you are missing something!!!!!!!!I wont be on stock suspension.

OK for others.

S15 from end
Megan Racing 32 way adjustable Track Coilovers
Nismo or KAZZ 2 way LSD
fnt-Rear Strut bar
B&M SS
Audio

*NemeGuero* · 02-24-2006, 03:31 PM

Haha, 'cuz MR coilovers and strut bars are CRAZY suspension mods!

Go read a few THREADS and see if YOU are missing anything.

ALTRNTV · 02-24-2006, 03:34 PM

Well, you should know now that most of Zilvia agress on power > looks, first.

If you have a job waiting for you anyways, just do your KA-T. Get used to the power, before you put your aero on, so you don't crash and wreck your s15 front and everything else.

There's alot more to suspension than just coilovers. Neme was talking about things like RUCAS, toe links, arms, tie rods/ends, and bushings.

BEISSEN · 02-24-2006, 03:34 PM

Whats wrong with MR suspension?We can go at it or work with me to help me out.I here realy to see what I can do since at KA-t there are not alot of replys.
