Yes the Stillen was a bit of a fight to line up, but we got it there in the end.

The lovely note it produces was worth the effort :dry:

I think i have a stainless dual output legallis Cat back for the v35 in the garage. Interested?

Prolly $1000 plus shipping from Melb, Vic ono.

Either that or I fit to mine to see how it goes.

I am not that fussed but thought worth a suggestion.

Hang on guys...don't bag stillen....it was bolt on!!! Took us 5 hrs to install as we were not familiar with the process but it took 2.5hrs to remove...

it was easy installing and easy uninstalling...don't know what went wrong with your install...

and yes, i would stick to the US aftermarket stuff...reason?? VERY SIMPLE.....there are more aftermarket parts for the V35 (G35) in the US than there are for the V35 in the JDM...The Nissan turbo fans never did really accept NA engines as a good platform and stuck to the RBs and SRs.....

So to sum it up, if you want to go aftermarket for your V35, go for Stillen....

Point of reference, my Nismo exhaust took 15mins to bolt on to my Stagea... including time taken to put the car up on the ramps.

Why so quick? Japanese "bolt on" is exact.

In comparison the Stillen took us about an hour and some not-so-subtle persuasion (large rubber mallet) to fit it in place.

Nothing at all went wrong with the install.

Yep, very true, The Yanks definitely have done more for the VQ35 than any any other nation and if you are going to build an engine, the US is where you turn... but for bits like exhaust, suspension etc you seriously can't go past the Japanese for quality, performance and fitment.

Installation of a twin rear muffler setup is not possible without modification and shielding of the fuel system, and removal of tow hook. Carbon canister and breather pipe will come in contact with the drivers side muffler. A local exhaust shop said it would take them a few days and over $1000 to do just mods and pipework (not including mufflers!!) from just the axle back (less than 2 metres of pipe total). Replacing the centre muffler and pipe was a whole lot more $$$ and time.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm currently looking at two catback systems that have been mentioned in this thread. The Stillen Gen 2 and the Fujitsubo Legalis R. I know that the Fuji is only a little louder than stock and the stillen is a fair bit louder but between the two which would give the most gains?

I don't expect to have gained 20kw from the system but between these two great pieces of steel which would the majority of other sedan owners prefer.

Also any idea on the pipe size of the Stillen, as I know the Fujitsubo is around 2.75"

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
