Hi guys

I have notified Motordyne of my interest in this exhaust system with the ART Pipe though they say it will cost me $575U.S shipping cost. That will make it about $2600AU in total for the whole system.

Are there any other systems like Stillen or HKS that are good exhaust systems for the V35 coupe.

Let me know your opinions and price of the systems.

Thanks

Quite sure MD TXD V2 is the best sounding exhaust for our engines by a long shot, also thanks for doing research for me i'm strongly thinking about saving for this exhaust i've heard amazing reviews.

Also did you beat the price down at all on the exhaust system/freight price?

Was that for sea freight though? I'd exercise some patience and get it shipped by sea to help reduce the cost even further.

Do they even make this system at all for the G37/V36? There doesn't seem to be much on offer for that series on their website.

I would agree, it doesn't make much difference having it a couple of weeks earlier. So best to save yourself some money and be patient, just as long as you get it. $575 is a fair and average price for shipping CBEs from the US.

I'm pretty sure its been made for the G37/V36 as well at the time of development and release for the 370Z. Motordyne are the only exhaust system on the market that is modular in design and can fit both Zs and Vs or Gs. The difference is the 8" extension pipes, which is how much longer the G or V is to the Z. But it is best to contact and ask them directly to be sure as always, though I agree there website is vague. Contact them or Tony through the website, g35driver (under Hydrazine) or facebook page.

are you going get the XYZ y pipe as well with that?

The XYZ pipe does come with the system, thats why its called CBE (cat-back exhaust, from the catalytic converters back to the end of tips).

maybe try one of the forum sponsors on G35Driver.

+1 You can get the products from some of the vendors there, but Motordyne (Tony) is on there under Hydrazine.

there's a few out there that wont break the bank...

I had a exoticspeed which i think cost 1/2 that for the motordyne and shipping included) also included y pipe

i later bought some 100 cell cats i think they were ERZ or something like that i forgot the name, then the whole thing sounded like a monster, especially through tunnels or under bridges etc...scared the ba-jesus out of people...

also iv heard a few clips of the invidia exhaust which sounds great.

HI Guys

try www.Shipito.com i use this site for things not allowed to ship out of the US like Burton snow gear.

there is a shipping calculator on the front page you would need weight and dimensions to get a relatively accurate quote.

Cheers

EDIT:

i should also mention when you sign up you get an address where goods can be delivered in the US (so if you can get free local us shipping to the address provided this would save on some cost) then the shipping calculator is from their warehouse to you.

this one? http://www.erzperformance.com/ERZ-performance-CNT-RACING-03-06-Nissan-350z-G-p/20-8387-e.htm

yup thats the one, had them on with stock exhaust and y pipe after I sold the exotic speed exhaust i had and it still sounds tough. and with the exotic speed exhaust and y pipe (comes as a combo) it sounded like a monster.

deep sounding no rasp yea? with ERZ cats

@TheMax this was fedEX Economy shipping. I have asked for freight cost of getting it shipped by sea. yeah true i sont mind if i get it in a few months though would be good if freight was somewhere about the $200-250us mark.

Will update when i get word.

@Ezy03 Just heard a clip of a g35 with exoticspeed R1-t Exhaust it does sound deep. Sounds very similar to the MD TDX2. And this was with the muffler and midpipe, stock y-pipe and stock cats.

Cannot copy the link but i typed 'G35 ExoticSpeed R1-T Exhaust' in Youtube.

Keep in mind bro the sound you hear on YouTube is certainly not going to do it justice until you hear it in person.

Sean have you heard both of them? MD TDX2 and Exoticspeed R1-T?

Exoticspeed exhaust system listed here:

http://www.exoticspeed.ca/index.php?cPath=62_96_120_602

And here is the quote i got for shipping of the item to Australia:

s/h to Au we offer flat rate ship by ups expedited 3-5 days for $350

G35 and 350Z are different.

for G35, we also have alternative option which is the RII-Titan exhaust true dual . currently available in stock.

They are based in Canada.

    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together
