Very nice & tasteful. What's up with that clear bra though?
Click to expand...


Ya, I need the clear bra replaced. I bought the car with in on, but I'm glad thats been there since it came off the showroom. No nicks or scratches on hood or bumper. The only thing in front that doesn't have clear on is the headlights (even the fogs have it). Guess why. Recall.

hey, i was lookin over the tread about the nrg strut bar...is yours off the g35 ? or can it fit the fx ?
Click to expand...

Psiclne is right, it must be made for the FX. I bought it off a member from g35forum dude that sold it cause it didn't fit his G35.

Nismo Cat Back, sound real nice. Much Quieter than I expected even with the Y-pipe.

thanks Dr2K, Ken, Dav, Psiclne and all other memebers for the words of encouragement .

(yes Ken I said 'members' lol)

Nect will be the Motordyne spacer and ISO I picked up on sale at Motordyne.
 
Hey Alan, congrats on your new mod. So is it louder or less noisier than your previous?

Can't wait to hear it.

Are you going to the meet tonight in Torrance?
 
Told you Bro.
BTW, it's gonna get louder probably by 'bout 15/20 % once she breaks in. Not only louder, but sweeter & better.
Now go search for some tunnels & underpasses!

It was a Banks Muffler (mid pipe back).
you can here it in the vid from the 626 meet.

I used a stock y-pipe before, do you think if I used a aftermarket on, it would have been louder or what? I m just curious.

You can see it here, tucked away.

Very very nice. I need something like that.

I like that it's black and hidden. Looks really good.

its a used Nismo I picked up from a Z member. Funny thing was he said it was too loud for him (he was running test pipes).

I did notice that he used the wrong 2 bolt gasket (too small) and that would restrict the flow for sure.
 
He was right. It is a fact that with test pipes, the Nismo is one of the loudest for the VQ on the market.
Deff. not for the faint of heart. The Cats are the biggest restrictor in the system.
The Nismo has been tested (with cats in place), from memory so dont quote me, at 96 db. That would place it just outside of legal . . I think.
