Since I gave a Z update, I figured I should share what is going on with our Silvia. Good news/bad news is we have had some fun and great updates, bad news the car had an accident and is in the body shop currently fixing her up.
Silvia Completed:
-Apexi N1 Exhaust (replaced the cracked greddy)
-Battery relocation & kill switch (allowed for a bigger battery)
-BC Racing coilovers
-Cusco strut bar
-AEM Infinity ECU & accessories (allowed for proper tune and future upgrades)
Now the completed items because of the accident
-Diff bushings
-Rear subframe bushings
-Rear upper control arms
-Rear Toe
-Rear lower control arms
-Wheels (Re-bought Vardoven as we needed something ASAP)
-Akebono brake kit (Z1 adapter & full rotor/caliper/etc replacement)
The car was driving fantastic for a couple years once we had the AEM ECU added, allowed us to finally dial in the tune properly. As each upgrade went we were going down the rabbit hole adding additional changes. Found the exhaust was cracked so had to replace but also went with a bigger downpipe. After that I started tracing some rattles and clunks which revealed the coilovers were done along with some of the bushings were starting to fail.
The accident was good & bad, it sucked the car got hit but we were able to get a full replacement URAS kit along with ordering a ton of other items while the car was down.
