Hey guys,

has any one had any experience with rusty v35 exhausts?

I'm assuming its a common problem..

If not.. should I be worried?

If any one has replaced their exhaust, (with just say stainless steel) how much did it set them back?

Thanks!

Regards

SC

Hi,

I replaced my original exhaust a couple of months ago with a cat back Stillen stainless for $1100 but it was on special at the time. Freight cost $376!!!! The original exhaust was in excellent condition with no corrosion.

Thread starter,

Sorry to jack your thread, but JohnR, was that freight from the US? If so, can you please PM me with company details etc as I'm trying to get an zorst from the states at the moment myself but freight has so-far been prohibitively expensive...

Also, does anyone with actual knowledge know whether there is ANY difference between the G35 and V35 when it comes to the exhaust so I don't import a useless exhaust from the US of A?

Cheers.

The only thing to worry about, is that some US exhausts will not fit Coupes which came out with rear active steering. Exhausts such as the HKS Hi Power for example.

How tell if you've got rear active steering? NFI

sorry to bring this up from dead.

I dont seem to be able to find any catback exhaust from australia, which makes me wanna buy from the US now..

Actually was gonna the HKS Hi power, until reading NISMO's post about the rear active steering..

So, what else will fit? Fujitsubo? Borla? APS?

Anyone knows or owns one of those mentioned?

by far the best guys in sydney to help you out with a 350Z/V35 exhaust is Hi tech Mufflers in darlinghurst.... these guys specialise in lambos, porsche's all high end work.... for about $1300 you get a top quality exhaust system..... one that has that euro sound... not a drowing sound that you get from most of the cheap china stuff....

Her ya go my friend. hehehe

they do Cat back exhaust also.

a little different with the V35 from 350z, a little expansion needs to be done (piping) since our cars are a little longer.

we talked about the middle piping before on this thread.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
