Hi guys i want to put a exhaust kit on my 2003 V. I was looking at a HKS kit but its prity pricy and just wanted to know if anyone knows of a better alternative to a HKS kit that is going to give me the same sweet sound that a HKS will, and also does anyone have any vids of the end result as i have only seen a few G5's on youtube.

for the budget conscious:

http://www.xforce.co...Nissan&model=34

Got quoted $1475 for the system (includes X pipe etc) from them. I think with the $US rate at the moment - people should dig into the overseas market. I saw a Borla true dual catback for $US1,100 a few weeks ago. Shipping was $US 300 - all up still works out cheaper than the X Force. Nonetheless, I've heard the X Force in action and it does sound good - also supports the local boys, which is always a good thing thumbsup.gif

exoticspeed r1-t pwr i had it on my v, beautiful sound, sold it to a sau memeber for his v msged me when he put it on and he also loves it. around 1.1-.1.2k mark i got it at (estimate ill have to check actual price) but i think its lower now since better aud to usd.

Does any one know any local exhausts for the sedan or and from Japan

I’m just pricing some up out of the states (stillan) and these prices are ok but I would rather go local and keep my money here

heard some clips on youtube with 350z having the megan exhaust systems. but can't really tell by just the free-revving sounds coz some exhaust sounds good revved but are sh!thouse driving normally coz they drone around the 1.5-2.5k rpm

I have the Tanabe Medalion Touring dual cat back exhaust system. Was on the car when I got the car. But it's great, no drone and under acceleration it sounds brilliant. Nice chrome tips too.

Have you looked at any of the japanese options, dont know if i'd trust HKS USA. The Kakimoto Cat back Twin Exhaust is around $1300-1400 shipped to aus. Most of the single systems are around the $900 mark shipped. I like the look of the GP Sports Exas Evo Tune twin cat back, but im still waiting on a price for that one.... could always get one of the amuse titanium exhausts if you want to spend like $5000 haha.

Gosh they are some high priced exhaust, I suppose they are quality, a replica HKS true dual headers back is not much more than 400 shipped from USA, pm me if you want a link. why you would want an exhaust confuses me but best of luck!

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
