New guy from Jersey
What's up people? The name's Omar. I bought an SVX as a daily driver while I work on my 240Z. I gotta say that I was planning on keeping it stock, but it seems like bolt ons are inevitable. Too bad no one makes them
I bought the car off the original owner. Black, with some paint chips and sunburn. I'll get pics up tomorrow night, while I'm at one of the regular car meets I go to. I'm going to do a little research and start ordering a few basic upgrades this weekend. I'd appreciate it if anyone here could help me out. I found a site with a great looking intake that kept the torque box, but it was a hefty $500. Anyone have any experience with this? Also, the only actual exhaust I've been able to find for the car is one that costs nearly as much as I paid for the car; a Flatt Racing exhaust. A little under $1600 at a site called Planet SVX, which seems to be run by a larger storefront known as Motorsports Warehouse. Somehow I'm sure this is pretty basic knowledge here though I already ordered a Trans cooler. I know. Any other precautions? It feels as though this has taken priority over my 240Z, but I'm going to hold out until I'm done building that to work on this. I'd like to keep it as a reliable and fun daily for now. |

Re: New guy from Jersey
Never heard of it.
North Jersey. Passaic County area. Quick side note: It seems like Vineland, NJ sellers have a bunch of SVX parts on hand. Only issue is that some of the descriptions are...well...not that accurate. Or overly eager. Is this person on this site as well? By the way, your car is pretty sweet. lol, those look like Nissan Murano wheels. Are they? |

The vineland vendors have a history of bad transactions, poor product descriptions and upset people. I'd be a little weary before ordering from Vineland. If you search up on "vlad" or "buyer beware" you'll find more info on people to stay away from. And thank you. My car sits on Nissan Murano 18's and has "a few" mods done to it.

Re: New guy from Jersey
A few mods, eh? What are you rocking other than the 5spd swap? Do you have headers by chance? Cause I can't find jack as far as those goes. I've made a few before, the most recent one being for an S14 with a VG swap. Maybe 1"-1.25" primaries for a good NA setup? Though I wouldn't have anywhere near the time needed to do it until the end of summer .
Needless to say, I'm excited. |

Re: New guy from Jersey
You should definitely go to the NY meet. I really don't have any go-fast mods.
The general svx network population has some or most of these mods: Outback 4.44 Trans swap SVXfiles 5000K/6000K HIDs Raceconcepts rotors and SS lines 15 minute mod 20 minute mod Magnaflow/flowmaster exhaust ECUTune Stage 1/2 If you do a search for these too you'll find tons of threads.
