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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
