Review on multiple parts.....(long) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sway500 · 07-19-2004, 11:49 AM

This a review list as well as shout out list for parts that I used for my SR swap as well as people who helped me.

1. Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch: This clutch is supposed to be good for 400hp. It is very smooth and is very grippy. Engagement isnt that rough but it really grabs hard. Pedal effort isnt too hard but it is stiffer than a normal clutch I cant tell you how it compares to a stock clutch but it isnt a clutch that you would hate in traffic.

2.Cusco Solid Motor Mounts: These mounts kick ass! I love them they keep the motor really stable and I just have no complaints at all. If you dont like stuff vibrating all the time or not having a clear view in the rear view mirror solid mounts arent for you. Also FYI the easiest way to install these mounts are to bolt the whole assembly straight to the motor. They slide right in with no wrestling.

3. JGY Banana Drift Tranny Mount: Also a kick ass part. Great price and great function. Shifts are super smooth. This mount combined with the Cusco solid mounts are a great match.

4. Uras RS SS Exhaust System: I love this thing. N1 style, slanted, all SS. It sounds great I don't think its loud but you definetely get attention from it. I think it sounds better with a test pipe than a cat. The cat quiets it down a little but either way it just sounds great.

This has been a year and a half long project and a long the way I would like to thank Brandon Hampton (Steeles) for all of the help, doing my wiring harness, hooking me up with all kinda parts and etc., and just helping me with so much as well as being an inspiration through out the whole process. Jason (SleepySR) and Brett Hayden for getting it running right, checking over my work, and also being an inspiration there the process. Jgy Customs for delivering all parts in great condition and Shawn for helping me whenever I called mutiple times for advice and keeping in touch when parts were on back order. Phase 2 motortrend for great advice when choosing parts, giving advice and keeping in touch by giving tracking numbers, just overall great customer service. Satoshi at System Q's for setting up the group buy on the Uras exhaust system. He called me eveysingle time there was an update on the group buy since I didnt have internet access at the time. And last by not least the whole Zilvia family for mutiple post that helped me somehow. I really appreciate the help everyone, and I recommend all the various venders and products they sell.

The exhaust system came july 9th. I will bring it by when i get the lowering springs later this week. Plus me and brett have to do something to lower my seat its mad high we have to do something probably later today. I have to get some bride super low rail later down the line.

Steeles · 07-21-2004, 07:59 AM

man i felt like I should be looking out the sunroof trying to fit in that seat. waaaay to high and ghetto. loved the clutch cars nice. I miss boost. glad all that stuff worked mang hehe one day I'm gonna clean up that wiring. it'll bug me otherwise. so just ignore the guy in your drive way with the flashlight and soldering iron.

Dousan_PG · 07-21-2004, 08:01 AM

yep, brandon is the man..

Steeles · 07-21-2004, 10:03 AM

hahaha its a little rough still ok alot rough definatly needs some suspension and wheels. stock seven spokes and some huge all seasons blah. but they slide nice. that clutch will bark the tires DOWNSHIFTING lol. that was a first for me. shoulda attacked it with the fender roller while I had it.

Sway500 · 07-21-2004, 01:03 PM

Yeah if anyone has anything they want to donate im open. Either way it goes I'm just happy it runs after having it sit in my driveway for almost 2 yrs. I have a lot more thing to do before I do anymore major mod, plus I need to get some track time so I can learn how to drive it at the present state before I go bananas and spend mucho dollares on aftermarket pieces.
