Naturally. With parts that matter money doesn't really matter either, I just can't justify £300.00 on a straight through pipe. Are you still using this pipe? No problems? Thanks!
Touch wood, no.
The old broke at the Flexi's from hitting speed hump.

Thanks for the recommendations, though the ones I have been looking at are around half that price. Naturally I don't expect the same quality, but are there decent eBay ones for around the £150.00 mark? The seller tube.fusion seems decent. Any experience with his Y pipe?
The vehicle already has an aftermarket back box that was fit by a previous owner. Can I assume that will also be 3"?
As is said throughout this forum Om7, you pay for what you get.
I myself wanted a Y-pipe quick just to get by at the time so went for:
2fast2cool is another alias for Japspeed, when I ordered mine they came labelled with Japspeed on.

People love the Stilien Y-Pipe (No Flexi) and Motordyne XYZ (w/ Flexi)...
Just remeber that most aftermarket Y-Pipes are a 3" bore, OEM 2.5"

Tyre under inflated?

This is very interesting indeed, as I too recently fitted a K&N oil filter, but I use Castrol Edge 5w40 and mine had the opposite effect, the oil pressure was abit lower than with OEM filter :S

So throughout my Zed ownership so far I have only ever had a cone style CAI on the car.
Recently purchased the stock OEM system and upon inspecting the airbox saw Nissan's original sticker and made me lol, "Never fill up oil when dipstick is out".
Oh if only I saw this a while back, would have saved me alot of ball ache and clean up xD
Anyone else share my mistake?

Since inspiral replied today, I went to have alook, found the current listing expired, so found their updated one.....
5 Years Warranty Included! Think I might take the plunge.

haha yes I meant popping and not pooping.
Yes it is running decat.
It only happens when I try to drive it too aggressively. By opening the throttle before the clutch is full released. It does sound really nice, but I don't want to be doing that if it isn't good for the car.
Sounds like overfuelling due to decats, have you had Up-Rev tune yet? I haven't yet and mine does this alot because of it, however apprently if you go to get the Up-Rev tune and like that sort of thing you can request pops and bangs on the overrun.
-
Unfortunatly yes,
Random Misfire possibilities:
Coil Pack,
Crank/Camshaft Sensors,
Spark Plugs old/fouled,
Blue Smoke:
Blow-by PCV Valve
Valve Stems,
Piston Rings/Oil control rings worn. Cylinder Bores worn.

dont believe it! never, EVER see another Z. i think ives posted in here twice. now mine gone i had the luxury of passing 3 on the motoways in Kent today in the space of 45minutes!
Silver 04 plate - two lads crossing the M2 bridge Coast bound, came off with me at Walderslade junction, aiming for Maidstone probably.
Silver 04 plate (different one) - Tescos petrol station in Frindsbury, you passed me as you pulled out
Black 08 plate, with what looked like an Ark exhaust, zooming off down the M2 London bound. anoher young lad looking cool in his shades
lol.If anyone of you saw a red jag, that was me waving at you looking like a fool.
Are you the one that lives in the house with the 90 degree driveway that used to have a orange Zed and Audi TT?

Where can I source a hard pipe similar to this one?
I believe the correct term is MAF Housing
PM ZManAlex, might have a used one.

Just paid £609 at 22 years of age. Very pleased.
I'm assuming no cars drive in the South of Wales to be that cheap.

ah gotcha, Just to double check something - Whats happening is as I put my foot down (Not every time just sporadical) the revs start to go up as normal then drop down a bit, then continue as normal, this is my clutch yeah?
Cheers

This is what also confuses me sometimes. I always believed:
If revs go up and no power = clutch
if revs go down and no power = traction control
or could be the other way.
-
Did you have a exhaust leak or something? One side darker than other?
-
Sorry to say this Lindsey but I think you're being had over here, the evidence dont add up from this "garage"?
Smoke on COLD start-up; White Smoke? (This is condensation and completely normal) Blue Smoke on the other points to valve seals being likely.
"They recommended a flush" - DONT NOT do this.
You will need to explain the rattle a little better or make a video.
Is it hard knock near the top of the engine that you explain as a rattle?
It should like they have no idea by trying to throw additives and engine flushing... This will lead you to a new engine.
Will either need more info for myself or someone more senior to help on here or there is specialist garges for the 350z that are also on this forum, includes but not limited;Abbey Motorsport and Horsham Development.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the CD009 was made for the VQ35DE, which would be a good indication if you have that engine.

Can we first decipher what you have stated?
Oil on spark plugs, Got the T-shirt for that also. Can be fixed from aftermarket o-rings or new valve covers.
A real Misfire should generally trigger EML if it is that bad. Common problems of Misfire include but limited to: Coil Packs (Should trigger EML if dead) Camshaft Sensors (Once again should trigger EML if truly dead) Spark Plugs (Completely dead/fouled etc)
Rattle on start up could be ANYTHING, literally.
The garge told you rings are gone? You can determine that, do you look like a choo choo train with blue smoke when accelerating down the road? What did he do, in terms of tests to claim both rings and rod bearings are gone?
#######
If it is truly dead, it's down to your budget.
£1500-£3000 will get you a working replacement engine in good order (from the right person) + fitting and fluids.
Engine rebuild can run into double that, but you get peice of mind (of course, once again from the right person doing the work)

Do you think its worth it on an engine with 129000 or should I get a lower milage transplant first ? dont wana be straining an old motor
Mapping or tuning doesn't necessarily mean extra strain on the engine, in most cases actually makes for a more smoother, efficient package once "tuned" or "remapped" properly.

I am running Silenced Japspeed Decats with the "Generic" Right Angle spacers,
7,000 miles no EML (Touch Wood)
-
It does say on the dvla gov website it can take up to 5 days to show correctly online.
-
Joining the dual carriage way as an example - last night I was joining and was around 60mph, upshifted to 5th gear and the revs shot up for a second before the clutch gripped again.
Are you sure this isnt just the TC kicking in?
I mean based on this comment alone, my theory you would have been over 3k maybe 3.5kRPM in 4th gear doing 60MPH, changed to 5th, dropped clutched, acclerated hard (maybe ground was a little wet or loose gravel who knows) TC kicks in for a second then gives it back.
I hope its not your clutch again though

350Z HR (or 370?) resonated decats.. options??
