nixy Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Been meaning to mention this for a while. First came to my attention when my son told me he had seen a uk zed and that the car sounded better than my jdm. I didn't pay much attention as its like permanent competition with him and me and cars! Anyway - i have since had Markie to visit and his UK standard car is DEFINITELY louder than my JDM. It's weird because mine has a nice sound when i'm in it and i give it some revs but there is very little noise from the back compared to a UK zed. I'm assuming its something to do with Jap laws but in what way will the exhaust differ then? Anyone else noticed this? Quote
Jay Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 The jdm is defo quieter...... When i had the standard zorst... it didnt have the growl that the uk standard zed had. But i went for a custom zorst so i have plenty of noise now Quote
nixy Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 don't know how you hear the zorst anyway over your bloody music! But yeah, having heard yours i did like it. Quote
Jay Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 LOL ........... remember the old man shaking his head and looking in at my car at the traffic lights Old git Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I had to turn round and look at a zed that came through my village couple days back.its a uk one & it had a nice v6 burble to it where as i think my jdm is pretty silent.I just thought oh they must have a k2 or something on it as it looked standard Quote
nixy Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 No, we are defo quieter. The standard UK one sounds much better - I would be happy with it like that! Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Lol i want a k1,soon as theres spare benjamins ill be having one Quote

I was around your are a couople of weeks ago...it was sunday... I had the chance to listen to mine yesterday for the first time when the garage guy dropped me off at work.... it looked so nice from behind....and sounded sensational!!! Wish he had booted it as well!!! Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Nahh it wasnt dude,its a GM with LaVOS plate illegally spaced & illegal font.lol.Lives in the new part of my village IIRC Quote
Beavis Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Nixy what year is Markies car? There is a distinct difference in sound in a 276bhp engine and the 296bhp engine (deeper howl) on the 296 engine.There is also a difference between a 296bhp engine and the 309bhp HR engine Other than that i dont know unless they have different cats on, i am assuming you are talking about cars with the standard exhaust fitted? Did i read some where about a difference in the diameter of the exhaust pipe or did i imagine that? Quote
Sarnie Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Can you stick a standard uk zorst on a JDM? Might be a very cheap way of getting the sound you want Nixy? i sold my standard zorst on here for about £50................ Quote
Greekman Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I am selling my 08 cat back nixy....if it fits ur jdm.... Quote
nixy Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 mines 2003 his is 2004 both with standard exhausts. I guess not many people have noticed the difference, even when you go to meets with others you generally don't listen to each others standard exhausts. There is definitely a difference so I wondered what it was on my car that made it so quiet? Not sure i could be bothered changing it for a UK standard one but its definitely an idea. How much does it cost to fit one? Quote

I'm assuming its something to do with Jap laws but in what way will the exhaust differ then? Anyone else noticed this? yes, noticed exactly this. lot louder on inside but disappointingly quiet from outside - was speaking to marzman in wales about this and he thought it wasnt the exhaust but something else that was different - but can't remember what he said - something technical Quote
nixy Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Mm would really like to know what it is - but its definitely quieter at the back of the car. Quote
Beavis Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Mm would really like to know what it is - but its definitely quieter at the back of the car. Not got a micra engine under the hood have you Nixy? Quote

350newbie Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I have to agree, I have just picked up my JDM and it is not a deep as the UK model.... Question is, what do I change it too? Quote
andlid Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 new intake,new intake manifold/plenum,new race cats, dual catback system borla type? or for a cheaper quicker option, get a K1 system and take out the baffles ones you get tired of the 'normal' sound Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Ive never ever seen or heard another 350z close up so I can't comment.... Gods honest truth that is !!!! I'd like a K2 or nismo but a grand or more is a lot of dollar Quote
nixy Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 next time you have a sleep over with biscuit and Mr Dog you can check each others pipes out! Quote

Thats just wrong..... anyway I told you the stupid missus wouldnt let me stay over..... I dont see the problem with sleeping with a couple of lads you have never met in another city you have never been too..... she wasnt so keen though AFFAIR with a dog and a biscuit, that sounds like something off of Jerry Springer !!!!
