Hi guys,

I thought i would let you all know that there is a group buy about to happen right now on these test pipes, it's going through Charles Back who owns B2autodesigns in the states. This group buy is ONLY available if you are a member of our FB group - search "V35 Coupe Drivers" and request to be added.

The price of the ART pipes is $509.00 SHIPPED. This is a great deal considering the price of these alone is $585..

If you're interested, get on the fb group and express your interest, but be quick because the offer ends on September 30.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but do these delete the cats? Is there an option where I'm allowed to keep the cats? trying to keep my car 150% legal while giving it a nicer tone.

Good group buy, Seano! :)

Yes, these replace the cats. But you can have something like this which is essential an ART Pipe & TDX V1 Cat-Back System (discontinued): ART Pipe -> XYZ Pipe -> HFC Module -> you have to figure out yourself... I've been trying to explore this option to find a XYZ Pipe-Back System that will fit.

Yeah mate correct, test pipes are straight pipes that replace the cats. As 81gsky says, you can get around it but i can imagine it'd be a costly experience depending how it all fits in together. The MD shockwave tdx v2 paired with the ART pipes makes an insane sound. I will eventually get this setup, i love it!

Just reminded me to check this up for you, sorry about that i'll look tonight.

Not sure if they will suit, they will delete your CATS and become illegal you might check a CEL if you do you'll need to clear the code. Not sure if ART pipes have anything to do with fuel consumption, but your AFR will be out a bit so a tune could do you good just depends how well it's done.

Where do you live?

I was organising one and posted it up on two threads, but hardly anyone expressed their interest to make up the numbers and make it worthwhile. So I gave up and then I saw this thread pop up, maybe Seano can organise one as I CBF'ed cause its frustrating... LOL!

I keep forgetting to ask Charles if he's doing any more group buys soon, i might hit him up and let him know there's a few guys interested in it. Just a show of hands, how many of you would be keen on the tdx v2 + test pipes or in fact any MD product at all?

i need to write myself a note or else i will forget to ask lol.

Im interested in the whole system. so basically tdx v2 + ART Pipes + 4.5" Tail pieces (want an XYZ pipe with resonator so its not too loud..does it work that way?? Also,have I missed out on anything? ). -- Might also want to get a price on the 5/16 plenum spacer (dont know what one to go for..thermal, copper or normal..whats the diff?)

Hi guys. Charles here. We are doing a group buy on the Motordyne XYZ pipe right now state side. To be completely honest it is hard to do a groub buy on the MD exhaust. I have tried a few times and failed reaching the number. I am here if you have any questions message me :)

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
