agentsmith350 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Hi Guys , I was ordered some of these for xmas but they say on the description up to 05 , cant see there is any difference from 05 to to the 06 model , has anyone had any experience with fitting similar to an 06. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-Z ... 937wt_1185 Wondering if its worth going to get them fitted or try and return them if it will need lots of work/cost.

Neilp Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 They will be fine mate. The fitment changed on hr engine. The de engines are all the same Quote
Dblock Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 What exhaust you got? Otherwise silenced ones might be better? Ive got "silenced" ones but its still loud Quote

Dblock Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 are you considering changing your exhaust? Quote
agentsmith350 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 are you considering changing your exhaust? I was but im thinking depending on how it sounds with decats i might leave it , already got the non silenced ones . Just need to find somewhere to get the gaskets and bolts to put them on after xmas Quote

rm cya Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Hi mate im after a set of decats, japspeed are sold for a few weeks, so im wondering what the quality of these are like as they look identical etc. was fitment good? Quote
Dblock Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Hi mate im after a set of decats, japspeed are sold for a few weeks, so im wondering what the quality of these are like as they look identical etc. was fitment good? They usually are. Japspeed stuff is the same but with Japspeed on it . Ive not heard of bad fitting decats but usually the quality of the welds are different. Quote
rm cya Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Tempted to order them, but as you say I know the welds might be a bit dodge. But how hard is it to weld a flange on a bit of tubing?? Lol What size bore decats do people run, as this one and the japspeed one is 2.3" (60mm). Seems a bit small for the engine?? I thought they would be a minimum of 2.5". Quote
agentsmith350 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Iv yet to fit these but bought as no brand ones and they arrived as japspeeds , im no welder but seems ok to me Quote
rm cya Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Ahh cool, thought they might be the same ones. Quote
agentsmith350 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Actually get gaskets and bolts too even though it says you dont Quote

Don't think it makes a massive difference unless your running a true dual but could be wrong. I got sole h-dev silenced decats. Quote
rm cya Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Japspeed decats have been delivered, with gaskets and bolts should hopefully have these on tomorow, will try get a video of before and after with the Nismo Quote

rm cya Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 yep. hopefully the bolts arent too rusted. will update later today Quote
agentsmith350 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 yep. hopefully the bolts arent too rusted. will update later today Good stuff, let us know how you get on as im just waiting for a decent day to have a go at fitting mine Quote
rm cya Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 All done. Simple job. Got away with jackin up one side and doing both. Bolts weren't rusted at all, luckily my gun was still charged up so whacked on a long extension, got 2 bolts either side from up top (moved the intake pipe out the way to get easier access, left airbox in, just the pipe came off), the rest from underneath. Took about an hour in total. As for sound.... Nismo with Unsilenced decats.... Have a guess! Lol. will try get a video ASAP, possibly tonight. Quote

rm cya Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 heree you go mate, quick vid from inside the car viewtopic.php?f=34&t=56820&start=15 Quote
agentsmith350 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 Started at 12 , back in the house at 10pm in defeat ! Minus a small chunk of my thumb i now have one decat pipe fitted with no sensor in it and the other has been left because after removing all bolts bar the one highest up on the manifold end it wouldnt budge , could hardly get any tools up there and ended up with a hybrid of metal pipe , ratchet , sawn off spanner and an extention , still i cant see anyway at all of getting off so think it may be a nissan dealer job. Other thing that stumped me is how to get the sensor out ! cant get any tool i have in the small gap to twist the bolt out ! Please help before i book her in for the weekend Quote
