I reckon that the most you would have to do is replace the tip with a slightly longer one. I don't know about you guys but mine is 5cm longer in the boot. That's not much when you think about it.

Mine is being fitted in about a week so I'll let you know what I find out then.

Some can, some don't. So better checkout websites like www.takakaira.co.jp or www.perfectrun.com.au as their online list is pretty detailed mentioning whether a certain exhaust will fit 2D only, Manual trans only or models with A-LSD etc. etc.

G'luck.

Jap coupe exhaust fits my sedan fine...  Only quirk is the tip sits slightly under the bar... at most 1.5inches...

There's a clause in regards to ADR or vehicle modification guide that states exhaust gases must exit within a certain distance from the last edge of a car's floorpan. This could mean all floorpan including the edge of your boot floorpan.

In your case, it may have caused the car to be non roadworthy, and when certain authorities start to realise this, there's a whole lot of new possibilities to defect cars based on this ground rule.

See Vehicle Standards Information 8 Section 12 regarding Exhaust.

The exhaust outlet must extend at least 40 mm beyond the furthermost outboard or rearmost joint of the floor pan which is not continuously welded or permanently sealed which could permit direct access of exhaust gases to the passenger compartment

The tip is still within the surrounds of the rear bar... I've got bigger issues to worry about...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
