Im organising my first mod for my stock 32gtst which is of course the zorst.

Im getting the dump/front and high flow cat of BATMBL for a good price now i just need to sort out my cat back. I wanted the Apexi N1 but i talked to xspeed and they said they don't have any in stock and they were over a grand anyway ( I was looking to pay more like 8 hundered'ish) they said they are getting some HKS high power's in at the start of next month for $865.

So basically is there anywhere in perth to get a zorst cheaper ? and what does everyone think of the High Power ?

I don't mind paying $865 but i just thought id check if you guys knew a better place...

i got told they were expensive for doing work on a car, i didn't think that nessasarily ment that they would be expensive for parts. I went there cos i didn't know any other place that stock HKS and Apexi exhausts. I understand that they are expensive and i have no problem with that. I just wanted someone to say that that was a fair price so i know im not paying more than is nessesary :P Now i know to try mettams thanx mate ;)

I was quoted by Mettams's: $400 for a 3 inch cat back exhaust system with stainless steel cannon. I reckon it's a good price.

It's $780 for Turbo-Back System...excluding hi-flow cat.

Will be making an appt after I get my front/ dump pipe and hi-flow cat.

Most probably will be getting from batmbl. However may consider getting the X-Force ones from e-bay. Have read some good reviews about them.

in my opinion i dont think the jap brand vs local brand thing does much in terms of zorst.. widening everything to 3" will get u the bulk of the power.. the exhaust decision for me was really wat sounded the best to me.. and i doubt there would be huge amounts of power difference between them...

i think a lot of the difference is right there. You may buy a 3inch exhaust system, but if it isnt mandrel bent, then you may end up getting an exhaust system which is only 2.5 inch in size at a certain point -> which will impede airflow compared to a 3inch mandrel bent system.

I had my fujitsubo 3.5inch exhaust fitted at an exhaust shop, and the guy commented on the quality of the tig welding, mandrel bending and the stainless steel used on the system. Basically, he said that NOTHING made here could match that sort of quality for the price. So while local systems may be cheaper, your jap gear may be of better quality (depending on the system you buy)

buy the Jap stuff - online at greenline or neugen.

Not only is it a reserched and developed system - it just looks more "quality" and better finished.

GO the Apexi N1 - AWESOME exhaust - remember:

1. DONT COMPROMISE

2. DO IT ONCE - DO IT PROPERLY (if it takes alittle longer to save, do it, it will be worth the wait).

mettams are awesome for doing weldjobs etc, and they are real cheap for stock exuast system.

for my gtr ill be getting a N1, love the sound and they arnt 2 loud.

i bet the one from mettams will be hell loud.

i paid $700 for a 3inch mandrell cat back, with a stainless muffler a few year back for my turbo laser, and it was hell loud. got it done by formaz.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
