My M35 is running a Nismo cat back exhaust with sound control.

Did anyone confirm the legal nature of this type of thing?

It just has a switch that is either set to Sports or Silent.

I can't really hide it because there is a silver box on the back of the muffler and it's a pretty fat muffler too :)

not sure of my catback zorst, it has Jasma mufflers on it, but fujitsubo stickers on car. received justjap dump last week, bought a 3" cat and some new flanges/gaskets too. getting fitted this saturday at right price exhausts on Moss St, slacks ck.

RPX also informed me that the JJ gaskets are poo. they would eventually blow out. the gasket on left is RPX, on right is JJ. notice the inner metal ring on the RPX one ? for $3.50 each it ain't worth the hassles

RPX also mentioned they will use the std metal gasket instead of this one as it will blow out too. no inner ring to stop gasses getting in between and blowing the guts out over time.

PS. anyone ever put a magnet on these so called stainless exhausts from just jap ? well on mine it's all non magnetic (stainless) except for bottom flange to cat, so it has a mild steel flange at end. they should have to call it 95% stainless exhaust LOL :(

in response to this post (in particular the turbo to dump pipe gasket) and to reinforce RPX's opinion USE GENUINE NISSAN MULTILAYER METAL GASKETS wherever possible

DO NOT use the cheap shit that is provided with cheap exhauast parts

i do agree with you ryan.... once you know that they come with shite gaskets.. which is usually once you have received it.

haha, didnt think of it that way. i had assumed chinese pipe=chinese gasket

on the dump page it has the gasket as a related product

hey guys, just got the exhaust fitted today.

I tell ya what, i am VERY impressed with RPX at moss street. $108 for fitting JJ dump and 3" hiflo cat. hour and a half later i have my car back.

You can definitely hear the turbo spooling more now. Very happy with end result. car feels more responsive and definitely stronger midrange -> topend.

BTW this is a S2 stagea RS4-S manual and the JJ dump doesn't foul any parts. no mods were needed.

Cheers

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
