  1. I have paired Berk HFC's to my Miltek catback system. The O2 sensor was fitted to the taller bank on the HFC. When cold the noise is very raspy but when all is warm the rasp is still present, characteristic of HFC's but you still get that distinct low burble of the Miltek. It's a lovely tone if I am honest and the overall volume for a daily drive is perfect, no drone and the pops on runover are lovely to hear. I am unmapped and with premium fuel I've noticed no hesitation in the rev range. CEL light 1147 Error code comes on every 70-80 miles but I just clear it. I will also add that on its MOT in December the engine/exhaust system was stone cold and passed emissions with ease. All depends on the individual car it seems.

  2. Second hand would suit but I suppose I'm limiting my options as some members may of colour matched their lip, let alone fully bonded/fixed it to the bumper. £135 for the GT Style isn't bad I suppose but for some reason I cant justify £200 for the Mines style! If no response on here I will dig deep. After Tyres, P1 Service & HFC's I suppose £200 isn't much more to shell out!

  3. I have just paired Berk HFC's to my Miltek catback system and luckily (100 miles on) have no CEL light. The O2 sensor was fitted to the taller bank on the HFC. When cold the noise is very raspy but when all is warm the rasp is still present, characteristic of HFC's but you still get that distinct low burble of the Miltek. It's a lovely tone if I am honest and the overall volume for a daily drive is perfect, no drone and the pops on runover are lovely to hear. I hope after a few hundred more miles they will start to sound even better. I have noticed a slight loss of torque in the midrange but it pulls harder towards the redline. With premium fuel Ive noticed no hesitation in the rev range so subsequently wont be going for an UPrev remap. As Ekona mentioned I think it is very car dependant.

  4. Just want to thank Adrain @ TORQEN for supplying my Berk HFC's. Very competitive price, his communication on here was prompt and he kept me up to date with shipping/tracking details from the USA. Delivery was quicker than anticipated, well packaged and the keyring was a nice little touch. After fitting today the sound is exactly what I was after when paired with a Milltek Catback.

  5. About to purchase some new Berk HFC's as finding it hard to find any used for a sensible price. One last attempted to find some, so if anyone is looking to sell up or have any lying around please let me know. Still open to suggestions on wheels aswell. Any Rota or TE37 rep would be ideal! 18 or 19 inch considered. Thanks Brett

  6. After a set of 18"/19" staggered Rota Grid Drifts/GTR-Ds, Varrstoen ES2s or Japan Racing JR3s. Basically any TE37 reps but will also consider other setups & Rota designs if fitment is suitable. ie offset and brembo clearance.

     

    Also after High Flow Cats preferably Berks to match with a Miltek catback & a Nismo shift knob.

     

    Long shot I know but please get in touch if you're looking to sell. Thanks

  7. Finally decided on a Buddy Club Pro Spec exhaust for the car. For my budget I feel it’s one of the best sounding and better made exhausts, especially when compared to the welds and fitment of the K1 which I had issues with on my old car.

     

    On UK sites and eBay the going price looks to be around £700. Are any of the traders on here able to source one overseas or even better yet is anyone looking to sell one second hand please?

     

    Thanks

  8. Thanks for the replies everyone.

     

    I purchased a brand new Japspeed K1 for my previous 350z I had back in 2009 and had problems with the midpipe catching heavily on the crossmember, pulling the flex's on the y-pipe badly. It was also catching on the rear anti-role bar and diff.

     

    Safe to say I was really disapointed as I expected it to fit no problems, especially being a new unit.

     

    I love the sound and price of the K1 but must admit im not a huge fan of the rear cans and with my previous dilema, am starting to think I should stay well clear.

     

    In terms of loudness and value I think the Buddy Club & Invidia would be my best choice.

     

    Ill keep looking

  9. Looking for a used catback exhaust upto the £500 mark.

     

    After a fairly loud sound so interested in a K1/Buddy Club Pro Spec.

     

    Anything considered, let me know if you are looking to sell up.

     

    Thanks

  10. Old man didnt get in until late last night so we didnt give the exhuast a try. Local performance garage who I used to take my Type R too managed to slot me in this morning to fit the exhaust.

     

    Got a call just now saying they are having problems fitting it, strange I thought as they have done many 350z's before and no members on here have had problems with the K1.

     

    Just been down and the midpipe is catching heavly on the crossmember, pulling the flex's on the y-pipe badly. Its also catching on the rear anti-role bar and diff. Really disapointed as I expected it to fit no problems. Garage confirmed they couldnt spot a problem with the car.

     

    Luckly taking the standard exhaust off was no problem so ill get it put back on and pack up the K1. Garage are supplying pictures which I will post up later. So so gutted. :thumbdown:

     

    This along with a 10 hour stint of uni in a bit is going to make my day :bang:

  11. Thanks for the replies, old man has a small heat torch and we've a pit in the garage so I hope things will run smoothly, just took delivery of the exhaust and very impressed, welds look fairly tidy. Have removed those wussy bungs aswell ;)

     

    Will post a update later with how I get on, any tips on best place to start? Midpipe end or backbox? Loosen all bolts and remove or do one at a time?....

  12. Hi

     

    My new Japspeed K1 is arriving today, was going to get a garage to fit but am tempted to have a go myself.

     

    I will have access to a garage, axle stands and all tools but am debating whether there will be enough room for one and whether I will have any issues with the original bolts. Car is on a 53 plate.

     

    Can anyone who has fitted a K1 or infact any catback exhaust themselves give me any tips and basically best place to start etc.

     

    Would be grateful

     

    Thanks

    Brett
