I have been looking for ages for decent titanium or titanium look exhaust tips. I have come across a good deal, but I have to buy in bulk.

So who would be interested in some of these - in my opinion they look awesome, and are one of the cheapest upgrades you will ever do for your V35, with maximum impact!

They slip straight over your stock tips, or you can have your stock tips cut off and these welded on (they narrow to the rear as per the 2nd pic).

Price would be $90 per PAIR of tips shipped anywhere in Aus. These are NOT made of titanium, but the tips look like the real deal (especially with the gold centres, which is what real titanium does in the cooler part). I have been looking around at literally hundreds of distributors and these look the best by far in my opinion.

I wouldn't have thought so. I had (until recently when the pipe into the box cracked) a Chinese axle back rear muffler with titanium look tips. The exhaust cost me only $120 delivered off Ebay, and the tips still looked like brand new after 18 months - and that included the Winton SAU Nats track day, 2 Mallala track days and around 40,000km on the street. So I am sure these would be fine :)

I can't guarantee that, but for $90 if they only lasted a year it would still represent good value :) - mind you I am very sure they would last longer then you are going to own the car.

Not sure Mitch but I would think they are the same. Go measure your tips - the coupe ones are about 10cm/4".

I really need to get 6-8 sets sold to get the ball rolling. Wait time up a month from now, but could be well sooner - it really depends how long it takes to get 6-8 positive replies on here :) I can wear holding some of the cost and put any remaining on sale here kept 'in stock' or chuck them on Ebay, so as long as we get a few more takers then I will do the deal and get them ordered. Man I love group buys - everyone wins! I just wish more people were interested in the urethane Nismo front bars - I can't believe more people aren't jumping on my other group buy idea :(

I didn't mention earlier, but the other benefit of these is that you can lengthen how far your tips poke out from your rear bar - most decent V35 exhaust setups I have seen have the tips protruding 5-10cm from the bar - which with these you can obviously do without having to spend $1,500 on a full exhaust :)

What, you need them now? Sheesh it is only about a month wait. And you won't find any like this for sale anywhere - and the few that are around for sale in the USA of $60-$120 EACH plus shipping. I just can't lash out a grand and get these immediately unless I am pretty sure I can offload them all or the vast majority of.

oh shoosh you guys lol I know it wouldn't add more kw, was thinking more from an exhaust note point of view, but as it is for $90 per pair shipped I'd be interested.

Might give me a bit of a kick up the butt to put my CBE back on.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
