mmm after looking around and stuff, i think im gonna decide the next mod to change the air filter to a K&N one. then after that probably change the exhaust so it allows better flow. probably change the final drive much later on as its quite expensive.
Sounds good?
thats how much it is... a good exhaust will cost more than that and headers almost double
the acceleration from changing the diff ratio is better than any na mods you could do
the only reason i changed my rotors was because ive been advised that the 'ebc red stuff' pads can really give standard rotors a hard time, plus i seen it myself on my mates GTR. his red stuff chewed stock rotors but once he changed the rotors no more issues
.. plus mine havent been changed since ive had the car so they have dealt with 80000kms of driving
how much did u pay for the project mu pads?
recommend it????
I love them! They chew through rotors, squeel on hot days and have heaps of dust but performance wise the initial bite, ability to hold high temps, maintain pedal feel are almost flawless. Very consistent pads..
I would recommend buying them directly from Japan. Front and rear set will set you back about $500 PM me if you need a contact.
But otherwise I get my rotors through OTR too.
A K&N FIPK kit or even a Injen/Fujita will set you back about $500 from memory and exhaust anywhere from $500 to up to $4000
So a FD with just the drive part may be cheap in comparison, the labour will be atleast $600 if you take out the diff yourself... But theres still the Honda diff rebuild parts on top of that. Then a yellow box is needed to correct your speedo as it will be off after install. Then you also have to decide of you want to upgrade to an aftermarket clutch type diff... or a higher capacity rear diff casing (most failures are due to incorrect/bad installation or breakdown of fluids due to heat because of limited fluid capacity in the first place).
Like Tamay said, I'd would wait for it to break before doing anything... except I've been waiting a while haha.
Put a front lip is the first thing I would do, it makes your S so much better.
If you dont care about the out look, go for an intake and exhaust would gain a bit power and make it sound better

gimme ur car for 10 mins and she'll be ready for a rebuild :P
ive had the experience of blowing 6 shafts and 1 diff. cause? sitting on the floor and thinking the car is a silvia -.-
i have learnt from mistakes but lol
Lol I'll pass. Yeah don't know why Honda didn't learn from Nissan's diff design... Those things are indestructable Well almost... I've been babying my diff cause of all the stories I hear
Imo regarding the Intake, I went with K&N because of reputation, design (Not likely to get water sucked in) and gains. The AEM looks cleaner but given Melbournes weather, I didn't want to risk driving through floods and suck some water into the cylinders in the process...
