Yep, no idea what Suzuki was thinking with the stock exhaust on that model. the 07 stock can is about a 1/3 the length, black and nowhere near as ugly.

Suzuki was just adhearing to restrictions like every other manufacturer in Japan. Rules change.

No stock pipe will ever be as disgusting as this:

Congrats ham! Found one u want yet?

about to start looking!

where is the best place to look,

so far i'm just on carsales and evolutionoz

to be honest, i'm a little sick of them lol.

says the guy with a yellow R34 gtt :P

Hamish, did you leave the dick drawn in the dust on your heatshield? Lol

the dick stays... it's been there for like 2 years man.... washed it but you can still see it

Everything's expensive on Evo oz, "selling my pride and joy" lol. The fact that they think a modded 7 is worth more than an 8 blows my mind

Carsales is good, Sydney is better.. I was gonna go up for a week and just look at a few and buy one until this popped up.

Becoming? Mate it was like that 8 years ago when I use to go out

Haha well I dunno, I think it's shithouse now. Used to love going out when I was 18-21. Almost 23 and haven't really been out in the past 18 moths lots (misses) but yeah, went out on the weekend and I was like wot.... :|

Got me thinking though, maybe shit wasn't better when I used to head out, possibly was just a lot younger and thought it was mad cool. Lol probably exactly the same, just matured lol.

I'm sure every manufacturer adhered to the same rules and none came out with anything as hideous as that.

That Ducati pipe has nothing on the 08 gixxer

I got mine on Gumtree, 7 grand due to the previous owner not checking the oil and lunching the engine.

I just placed an order for a full Brian Crower 2.3 stroker kit with all parts to rebuild the engine and it only came to $3700. Including the machining I should be able to keep it under $13,000 total cost by my estimates.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
