How long do you expect it to take, I'll try an catch-up with you after I've finished work, about 3pm, if your still around.

Get then to ditch your cat at the same time, makes nice flames from the exhaust:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

Adrian,

Don't get too excited on getting your dump pipe in. When I had my front, dump and hi flo cat done I had to run them in a couple of hundred kms to make sure the gaskets had sealed.

Once done, it should give you a meater mid range though. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Run a dump pipe in?

If done right it either seals or it doesn't. You will/should notice better turbo response (down low) and improved top end, along with a bit more boost.

The next thing to do is to wrap it in thermal tape, allth way to the cat.

revvy: so if I get a dump pipe and front pipe, adjust the timing and maybe chuck in an SAFC (we have a 5 knob one sitting around here at home) I should see a nice little bit of difference? also fit my front mount cooler that's been sitting in the garage for the last 3 months!

sup guys

i got called into work tonight as well

ahh what a day

well along with my front pipe today i replace the piping from my muffler to the cat which had a resonator and middle muffler to just straight 3" piping and boy is it loud now lolz

extreme machines seem like real good people

very pricey though

but they do know their stuff and seem to do a top job

so yeah

next week i shall get my screamer pipe in and maybe a highflow cat unsure on the cat yet!

i shall keep yaz posted

Angel ya got pics of ya car?

cheers

adrian

No pictures sorry Adrian. I"ve had it for six months and haven't even taken a photo! How slack is that. I'll catch up with U on the next cruise, or maybe a few of us could meet for coffee (or beer or something), and check out each others machines.

I will take some pictures this week. I am having some leather done on my interior, and I want before and after shots. This means I will have to give it a good wash and detail.

Rev210, the exhaust guy told me there is no point doing the dump pipe without doing the cat as well. Already booked in to do the job anyway, but is it a waste of time putting in a high flow cat?

Angel,

The hi-flow cat is a good idea, but many of us are deciding to run without one at all, just the issue of a possible $10K fine. Definately do the hi-flow cat, otherwise you will have a restriction in the exhaust and defeat the purpose of all the other stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
