Hey guys, so recently back I was pondering about whether I should swap my V for an Evo 9. However, I decided to keep the V :happy:.

I got these new 5zigen headers that have been purchased for awhile now. I have been told that headers for the VQ engine does minimum if not no real gain. So the question is.. is that true? should I go ahead and install it? (i got quoted for installation - $350)

currently I have a catback + y-pipe.

cheers

Well the sock ones are typical oem style and dont look that great performance wise. Im sure some well designed extractors should give a nice little gain, at the least should make it more responsive. I recon install them, you already have the part so may as well chuck them in and see how it goes.

    • No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.
    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.
