pretty good if you dont mind dealing with a grumpy old man :(

I was thinking of calling Belconnen exhaust and automotive as a few family friends have had theirs done there but i wanna make sure i'm getting the best value... thanks for the advice guys!!!

You have a V35, buy a Japanese exhaust off the shelf (Trust, HKS, Tanabe etc.) through someone like Trojan Motorsport - cheaper and better quality than getting one made up. :D

My exhaust was done by Fyshwick Exhaust. The workmanship was great. They also did my intercooler piping, and routed it exactly the way I told them not to...

I remember that... I dont know what they were smoking when they put that together :P

They said there was no other way to route it. Immediately following that we cut up the piping ourselves and routed it the way I actually wanted it, without changing anything on the car and using no extra piping except for having to buy 1 donut of pipe.

When we mounted the intercooler we left enough room behind it to run the piping through, but the Fyshwick guy ran it under the front of the car (in front of the tow points, probably wouldn't have passed rego) where it would have been smashed the first time I got too close to anything like a kerb. And the pipe was just hanging there with nothing except the joiners to the other pipe sections holding it. After we finished it was a LOT more secure.

Bear in mind this was over 5 years ago, things change, and as I said, the exhaust itself was great.

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
