RACINGLINE UPGRADES.... rear sway bar and Y-pipe...

[rjdmmfl1]

WOW!!!!

Rear Sway BarFirst, the rear sway bar upgrade is phenomenal. Stillen's sway bar is a nice upgrade from factory, but the Racingline sway bar is RIDICULOUSLY thick and stiff (that's what she said)...Difference in cornering is incredible. The only thing missing is a nice strut/shock assembly... then the ride would be perfect... Mehdi, I hate to say it, but you were right... I can only imagine what your ride feels like with those BC racing coilovers...

Y-Pipe

One of the best decisions I have made regarding this car... the increase in power is definitely felt throughout, but really in the mid to upper RPM's... When they say13 WHP, they mean it... kudos to Joe at Racingline !!!!

I will try to get a sound bite of the Y-pipe + Ebay special exhaust sound... It definitely brought out more of the VQ's growl ... its now at the absolute threshold of what I would want for my audiophile needs...

I've attachedsome pics of the racingline bar vs the Stillen bar side by side... I painted the racingline bar red also...

pretty much for the forseeable future... next two years: I'm finishing my last year of medical school and doing a Master's of Public health at Hopkins... then medicine residency at Hopkins (3 years) ... then fellowship, maybe at Hopkins, maybe somewhere else... but I don't think I'll ever be moving back to the West Coast again

Cool stuff bro. Glad you found some performance in your life

[AltyCoupe]

congrats one the new stuff!!

had a question cause im in bit of a dilema.....

i wanted to know if its worth it to buy a front strut bar from racingline for 130. am i going to notice a difference? i dont know any "harcore" cornering but i would like to take nicer turns.

also my car isnt dropped...so do you think i should do this 1st??The only thing holding me back from that is warrenty issues. im not down for nissan to complain about me dropping the car.

Thanks!!!

[bunda4th]

Lower the car first and you shouldn't have any warranty issues at all. To take nicer turns you will want to have the car lower and better tires.

After that you will want to get the rest, rear sway bar, front strut bar, endlinks, rear strut bar if one ever comes out.

About Nissan complaining they shouldn't because when I lower my car and took it to the dealership they actually like my car more and they even ask what my set up was.

oh yeah@! Told you so ! haha .did you put the racingline bar to the stiffest settings or not?

the y-pipe is awesome too, nice touch coloring it red!

next upgrade is definitely some coilovers. your jaw will drop on the floor when you install those. handles likes its on rails.

I can't wait to hear the ypipe with the ebay special exhaust. should sound perfect

Hi Doc,Did you have to use RTV sealant for the y-pipe? I got the necessary gaskets but not sure about the RTV.

Thanks in advance...

[rjdmmfl1]

No, I did not have to use any sealant

[GT-R]

Thanks Doc for the quick response.
