KOPE

OK oops there I go again shouting,I didn't know that,is it italics for whispering? I'll get some more pics unless Paul comes on and recognises it.

HI i BOUGHT THIS CATBACK EXHAUST FROM PAUL AT SWZ ABOUT 3YRS AGO BUT THERE IS NOTHING STAMPED ON IT EXCEPT THE STAINLESS STEEL TYPE NUMBER AND I HAVN'T MANAGED TO FIND ANY OTHER MEMBERS WITH THIS SYSTEM SO FAR,IT IS NOT ALL THAT LOUD ON THE TURBO I HAVE IT FITTED TO,BUT I AM GOING TO FIT IT TO MY NA HOW MUCH LOUDER WILL IT BE? IT IS A DEEP SOUND AS WELL:confused1:

Good job,it's nice to have a happy ending.

this is mine lucky it will be scrapped soon

Sorry for the misunderstanding but from your description you had replaced the damaged hose with a copper one because the one that comes through the inner wing to the hose coupling is normally bundy tube. Your car looks nice though,lots of updated bits,undo the bleed nipple and see if there is any pressure in the caliper if there is it is probably a perished hose if not it's somewhere in the caliper sticking. Although you say it's not it does point to a warped disc or a steering joint.

It happened to mine last year perhaps they had been taken off and the not very flexible sealant hardens or the units tightened too much so there is no flexing at all so something has to give and with the brittle plastic being the weakest link "cracking".Is there a scientist with the reason?

Hi,you still havn't told us where this copper pipe is attached to???if it is fitted to the caliper remove it post haste and fit a proper flexible hose before it fractures and you do you and your motor and even worse some innocent pedestrians with kids and don't let your mate anywhere near you car in future!!!

There is always the FTO there are some cheapies around if you look

After looking at the FAQ I checked my zed and checked the Australian info sheet and mine is a 97 and not a 96 which is on the log book! the seat belts are also dates 1997 that moves me even further away from de-cats doh!!

If you look at the gumtree forum at the bottom of the page and follow scamwatch you will see all kinds of scams with the way they work and not all nigerian I was caught by the Ainsworth gang who are operating from uk and blatently scamming mugs like me who think they are as honest us,lesson was learned the hard way.

You could have done a cut and shut zx back and 3000gt front:biggrin:

Iv'e changed my mind about these,I would require them to have interferance fit through the spacer or better still go for the proper ones pointed out.

Well the skirt on that site didn't look very smooth in fact they are very lumpy:xxx:

might have to get some

They look good

if it's a import don't bother with Heritage as they won't insure a fairlady I am with Highway part of Liverpool Victoria through Adrian Flux collectors insurance second car limited mileage

That is what I said! I think. plus is moving the outer rim to the inside and minus is moving the outer rim to the outside,:cool:

Original

I put 18s on mine today,much improved even if they are 350z bog standard

Well the wheels are on with no problems at all the clearance from the spokes is about 12mm so I don't know what the scaremongering was that I would need 3mm spacers or grind some off the calipers

But if it's et+ doesn't that move the wheel centre towards the inside??

I love that blue these are the wheels

I did look at all the other threads from others on the forum but didn't see any mention of clearance for 350z wheels,not much of a problem as far as I can see though,they are standard Nissan made 8x18 offset 30 in very good condition and only £100 with potenza 225 45 & 245 45s 5mm tread left so if it cost a bit more I won't complain. Please don't laugh Joely P it is a minefield looking for wheels that fit 5x114 and a good width unless the misses has a big handbag to buy new ones

They are from a svx 8x17"-5x114+45 with 235x40x17 tyres all round,but as was said earlier the centre hole maybe wrong but being non original they may have a larger centre than the svx wheels,but with a +45 offset they might have been OK.but that I will never know as I cancelled the sale and got the 350Z wheels which are 18" and it has now been said these won't fit either without spacers GRRRRR

Problem solved I paid the blokes ebay final bid charge although he was in need of anger management to say the least,and have gone for 350z wheels,please don't tell me these are not any good either.
