davidian Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 welcome to my ricy ride. this was meant to be a solid daily undercover but somehow it seems to be getting more boyracered up than previously intended. anyhow she's pretty mint. I was after a hatch that was peppy and could fit a bike. I was in the market for a similar age FX, golf or something in the same economy/power region. Decided FXes on the market were too raped for the money being asked so I started looking at these. People still wanted good money for varieties of Autech/VZR/GTI and I was not going down the GA engine series route. knew the girl that owned it for a few years, maybe 5 or so so I hounded her and hounded her until she bought a new car and passed this on to me. Im destined for owning some oddball cars, as is the case with this one, at least minorly so. Lucino ZZ, which basically equates to Pulsar GTI, maybe the difference is interior colour and GTIs usually come with a side skirt.. btw there is an EPIC amount of variants in the n15 shape, Lucinos, Pulsars, m1, x1, x1r, jj, bb, mm, sjs, q, sss, gti, vzr, autech, ssr, ssr-q and fuck knows what else. These pix are post-install of RSR springs which kick my ass on every bump. The rears are a particular c*nt to pull out/in because of a rear suspension top plate inside the car but alas...

davidian Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 lol, nah not gzeros but always been partial to the VX1 got a cheap VZR exhaust in the weekend, pretty much 2¼'' piping from cat back with 2 resonators, just need a muffler and a bit of pipe to replace the cat, then stick on some extractors ive got kicking around. I've no idea whatsoever what muffler to go for, unkeen for RPS/dumpy styles or anything loud and irritating, just want a nice note really. Any advice on that???

davidian Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 those old v12s are such nice amps! that amp has been trough the wars before i got it cheap, it's since been trough maybe 3-4 cars and in storage as well. cant complain really. Changed grill to facelift one, im liking the GTI/Autech ones Parts Guru has but at $250 naaaah. Also looking at facelift lights and clear indicators and bits off ebay since it looks like my mate wil be ordering kits and lights and what not for his TX3 liftback project from Aussie, I might bundle up with him. will see. Car has just kicked over 108K. nan spec. however factory strut bars front and back and a dodgy nissan-special intermittent speedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 a dodgy nissan-special intermittent speedo Ah yes, I had this problem, but with the rev counter in my N14. Loved that car. Would own one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 See if you can find a stock autech rear muffler bro. 2" mandrel bent inlet and they sound really nice and flow quite well. Hell I'll even link a vid for you to see... Haven't seen one for a while but they do kick around from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camo_78 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 in regards to your exhaust,my mate had a silver vzr with a 5zigen rear muffler on a similar system to what you have in the pictures,3 inch straight tip angle cut end.sounded very nice and was not loud at all at idle,but out on the rd with your foot up it it had a very nice note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Do you live up on the coast? I swear I drove past this at about 7:45 at Silverdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 nah mate not on the coast, it's an imposter that Autech system in the youtube vid sounds quite nice tbh. not sure if the SR16ve would produce a much different note to SR18, probly not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 From experience the VE engines tend to be a little quieter down in the lower rev range. You'll find the DE just has a tiny bit more growl to it but essentially it wont sound that much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 photos to come this week. it's been at Pit Stop since saturday. my $350 quote to put the exhaust together has somehow miraculously turned into around $930 now that most of it has already been done. On top of that, not o2 sensor tap in the new extractors as per original manifold so its going to move over lower, apparently the guy can't extend the O2 wire so i have to do it myself. fuck what a joke. for comparison, they charged me about $800 for the 3'' 300ZX system with NOTHING supplied by me. gtfo. muffler is a CHASE sports item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
