Ok dudes, sold the V35 GT-8 Sedan and now my exhaust is for sale...

This is a *rare* item imported from the USA by me brand new....it costed $1200USD, $300USD to ship, $120USD for GST, $300USD to clear Aust Customs...so a very expensive system!!!

For all you sedan owners, this is an extremely rare opportunity to own an almost new system fitted less than 7000kms ago....No damage to the system and no dents! The exhaust sounds tough on high revs like a N/A engine should sound! And it is not a loud deep bass noise, it is kind of a mid-tone sound...Under low revs/daily driving, it is slightly noisier than stock...

I am chasing $1100 pickup. If you want to view it, you better arrange an inspection prior to this Saturday 31st July 10 as it will be coming off the car (buyer doesn't want it)...And then go into storage.

It is a very simple bolt-in and fits 100% perfect! You can also adjust how much the muffler tips stick out as one of the piping flanges are 'slip-in' joints (as seen in pics, I have the muffler tips a little bit sticking out)...

Due to urgency, don't sms or email - just call me 0403 347 739 (I may not answer on Friday night as I will be driving interstate from ACT to VIC to removed the exhaust on Saturday)...Only sms if my phone is out of a service area in the countryside somewhere...

Here are some pics of the system being installed:

more details can be found on the Stillen USA website. once you read up on the system, you'll understand why i went to extreme lengths to get it!!! I could have bought a Jap brand, but I am sure you all know the V35 performance market in the USA leads that of the Jap Market when it comes to V35s!!! And plus, the sedn exhausts are harder to source! Most of them are 350Z exhausts with a pipe extender to make the system fit for coupes only (and not sedans)...

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
