I'm looking for opinions and experience with minor exhaust mods to improve the note of the V36, I don't just want to go loud. I'd like a slightly louder note and used to love the low tone I used to get out of my NA 300zx. As this is a daily I don't want to replace the whole exhaust and make it too loud and I'm not really looking for performance, 235kw is plenty.

I've you tube'd a bunch of clips and am pretty confident new cats will do the trick, and give a nicer slightly louder note. But I want to check with the locals, who agrees? I wanted to get the Kinetix cats and install them with my stock system.

Def the HFC, they give you that little bit grunt in the stock system and makes it more interesting imo and is not loud at all, at normal driving rpm range, you wont even realise the hfc's until you put the foot down.

Edit: Dont buy kinetix or any low brand ones, berks and stillen are the ones to get i reckon

I simply changed my stock muffler to a Megan Racing one for around AUD$560 shipped mid-last year. Gives it a nice note without being obnoxious - exactly what I was aiming for and reminiscent of what I had with the turbo exhaust system my old Maxima (VG30E, not a DE like your Z). Best value for your dollar, I reckon. If you're going to take advantage, now would be the time before the exchange rate declines any further.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • 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.
