Thanks micko

Ken - yeah its been a big secret from me. Dad got it for us for the wedding present. I totally wasn't expecting it. Me and drew were going to save up and go later in the year. We are going to thailand. I would have been happy going to margs for the weekend!

No, not the dumps, the pipes between them & the cat that go from 2 to 1.

If your front pipes end just rearward of the gearbox mount then that is about std.

Are you sure the ones he has are not replacing the cat at the same time.

Cheers

Hmmm...good point Ken, could be complete cat replacement.

Either way I'm not gonna spend over 300 bucks on them cos I don't reckon they will fit.

People keep telling me that I should get a small gain in power & better throttle response by repllacing them - been told the first metre of your exhaust is the most important.

kyles - well my parents are separated... so mum couldn't afford much. She helped a little, which I so appreciated. My dad paid for the reception... but he's a pilot so he can afford it and he owes something to me. But drew and I have put off buying new clothes etc stuff for the house for over a year saving to pay for the wedding hahaha ohhh there are so many shoes I want to buy

Yea but the first meter includes the dumps off the back of the turbos which is where your biggest gain will come from.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
