I can recommend Johnny Macs, he is a good bloke and fixed my exhaust on previous car (after another exhaust place botched it) also did the exhaust on the skyline.

If you look at any of the cars in there you know they are serious (not to mention they are regulars out at drags)

This the exhaust he was talking about?

i've used them a few times a couple of years ago. Friendly guys and they did a good job, can't complain about the prices either.

I had them fit up a Trust exhaust & front pipe to my S15 and they made up a cat-back system for my dads VX commo.

Why not just buy a bolt on option? They are so cheap these days and fit strait on. Or even a second hand exhaust will be fine, I got myself a ss catback ganadore exhaust in perfect condition for $250 off ebay!! They are worth a hell of alot more then that!

Have a look in the Classifieds section for something in your price range. As for fitment, do it yourself and learn about your car.

If you cannot find some thing you like, ask some members for some sites that stock R33 bolt-ons.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
