Hi everyone, as u can see im new to these forums as i've just purchased my V35 350GT skyline this week.

The first thing i want to do with my skyline is exhaust, but i wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I basically want something that makes the stock V35 exhaust (which already sounds awesome) have a bit more of a louder grunt and a bit of a rumble whilst idl'ing.

I have around 2 grand to play around with so if anyone had some ideas on where to start i would greatly appreciate it!

I could custom make a system for that but without a location it makes it hard to recommend workshops. Do you want a custom or brand name exhaust?

i'm open to suggestions mate, anything that will sound good and bring some performance with it.

My location is Mackay QLD

for that kind of money you can get a brand name one shipped from the US with change left over. Will be direct bolt on no fuss install.

my dads awesome with cars so im still learning aha i would have to get someone to install it properly, could you suggest any brands/setups?

If you want low drone, quite when cruising but deep still and then roar above 5k then fujitsubo exhaust, megan V2 HR ypipe, HFC or resonated test pipes + stock headers

if you want more rumble and throaty but more expensive and better performing, then Motordyne exhaust, motordyne xyz pipe and motordyne ART cats + stock headers

if you want cheap and loud then a knock off HKS with megan hr ypipe

go on g35driver, there is a thread with sound/video clips of all different exhaust combinations

$2k only for exhaust mods or $2k for mods altogether?

$2k for exhaust mods only = Berk HFC (~$500) + Stillen CBE (~$1200) or a knock-off HKS CBE (~$500)

$2k for all mods = Berk HFC (~$500) + Motordyne Plenum Spacers (~$250) + Sway Bars (~$300) + knock-off HKS CBE (~$500) + K&N Drop-In (~$50)

These are estimate pricing in US Dollars and excludes shipping.

thanks for the replies boys i appreciate it, im looking to spend $2k MAX.

r6n350gt i was originally looking at the motordyne art cats and headers as i have heard the sound it makes and its incredible. Also that's spot on what i want, but i did want the roar to kick in at around 3-5k rpm. would appreciate it if you could post some links to websites that provide these products so i can check it out.

cheers

I have been looking around at the moment i'm leaning towards the ART DT-S Dual exhaust system it comes with absolutely everything for around $1,300 which is great and it's bolt on of course.

This also has the sound that i'm looking for, do any of you own this setup?

Hahaha... Yeah it is good and loud, huh? Got them installed on my car, definitely one of the best buys.

Yes, Fast Intentions is very good too. I would rate them second below Motordyne of course. The Fast Intentions are more quiet until you floor it.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend on just the CBE. You gotta take into account taxes and shipping costs, so you might be looking at $2k for the Fast Intentions or Stillen and over $2k for the Motordyne.

Yeah man i've listened to numerous sound clips of exhausts such as STILLEN, Fujitsubo, ARK, HKS and i still think that the Motordyne Shockwave's sound the best by far.

I had a feeling shipping would be expensive, but i am happy to pay around the $2k mark for the perfect setup. If only we had some of these specialty stores in Australia better yet QLD..

I know this is a little late, but have you checked this link out:

http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/353062-aftermarket-coupe-exhaust-compilation.html

I actually haven't but there is a similar page for the G35 2007 sedan which is the equivalent of the V36. I know what I'm going to get now!!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
