Sinbad

[MartinGT]

[Sarnie]

He liked it IIRC. Sold it a couple of months back for about £350 I think.

 

 

Do a search for more details as I can't be arsed

[MartinGT]

well, the reason i say is...its on ebay, 2nd hand, and the first bid is £100, so i stuck a reasonable bid in, if i get it cheap, why not, i can always change in the future and get my money back for it if it goes for more than i bid, then i'm not too fussed i could also use the centre section and have some nice boxes made up at my local (and very good and not usual tat) custom exhaust guy.

single pipe

[Digsy]

 

Not convinced...

[MartinGT]

well if everyone has a nismo kit, wheels and exhaust it'd be pretty boring

 

i'm not a huge fan of single exits myself but it looks ok, so if i get it cheap i'll be happy.

[M13KYF]

and what about the huge carved our hole left behind. Looks unbalanced.

[MartinGT]

yes well that is an issue

 

as i said, it could be a good base for a new back box.

 

btw the guy i use does work for drag skylines, and did for colin mccrae (RIP), so he's top notch

i can see what you mean about being different but its not for me , i like the twin exit, its one of best features of the zed

 

no one has fitted a roof rack yet - food for thought

Might look better with the greddy rear bumper? Should even it out but not too keen anyway. How's the exhaust sound anyone?

now you're just being silly

[Sarnie]

IMO, for whats its worth, which is not a lot, don't do it. One big exit pipe is very scooby/evo and therefore very chavvy

too late martin, its been done

 

being silly ... moi ?

[MartinGT]

but i want a cheap exhaust

 

scorpion one is cheap at £335 but someone said the piping is too small.

 

i can get a dc sports system from funky power for a good price too.

 

i just grudge paying stupid prices for nismo stuff.

[M13KYF]

get the DC then. It sounds very nice.

Get a DC then

 

Or an RSR?

 

Or even a scorpion then.

 

 

And aren't the Nismo's only about £700 from AdamZ1?

[GIXXERUK]

iirc scorpion and mongoose are the cheapest, the nismo is expensive but you can get a decent price for it 2nd hand when you sell the car so you maybe lose less than with a cheaper brand ?

[MartinGT]

yeah but theres £100 for a kakimoto which winds you lot up or £500 odd for a DC

 

dc is nice, its the one with the box similar to original not the twin can one. having funky power up the road is dangerous!

 

i need to think about the future thought with the supercharging idea...so i'd need to investigate that aspect of it too
