im 23 with adrian flux, 5 years ncb and all mods declared, £680 tpft

I also have exactly the same problem! Seems to only happen when i have the heaters on, sometimes :-S, its a very intermittent problem. When im sat in traffic people think im revving the engine when im not lol. I dont think ive heard the clicking though but ill listen carefully next time it happens.

How it ended: I decided to save money and got a friend to help me fit it, took us over 4 hours lol but was a good laugh. The old exhaust was in awful condition with a 12 inch split down the left hand side! no wonder it sounded like a meaty v8. It really is a high quality product and looks the part. Just need a nicer rear bumper now lol.

Ordered the japspeed one today and it should arrive tomorrow. Is it easy to fit? eg could i do it in a matter of hours with minimal tools or would i need to get a garage to fit it?

:) cool reviews and some good info here, thank you!

lol, hope i havent started something :-S

Thanks for all the comments, think i might go for the Japspeed one as the price is right :)

^^ yea thats they system im looking at on ebay lol. just not sure about the jap style cans. I remember when my primera's exhaust fell off just after the engine manifold, i had to drive 200 miles home with an engine that i dare say was 3 times over the legal sound limit for anything, it was a painful journey home and was suprised i didnt get stopped. Still was an awesome sound for a 4 cylinder engine lol.

mines NA but will hopefully sound like a proper V6 NA lol. With the hole in the exhaust at the moment its sounding more like a badass v8, cant stop driving it through tunnels and narrow streets lol.

cool, sounds ideal for what im after then. thanks :) One more question, the japspeed advertises a "balancing mixer" on the center section before the backboxes for a "true v6 roar", am i right in assuming pretty much all zx style exhausts will have this otherwise it will just sound like a 3 cylinder engine on both sides lol.

cool, i would prefer the mongoose system as it has the twin tailpipes rather than the 4" jap style slash. Is it louder than standard? (i think the standard exhaust is far too quiet for my liking)

Hey all, Need a new backbox as one of mine has a hole in it and i figured i may as well get a whole new catback system. Im not bothered about performance gains im just after a nice sound really. Been looking at the japspeed one (available for around £300) and was wondering if it was any good sound wise? the only other one i can find is the mongoose one but people dont seem to recommend mongoose really. Any suggestions or linkys would be appreciated :)

heya, sorry for the late response, been a hectic couple of weeks. I spent today learning the wiring diagrams for the headlights and stripped the dash etc to see which wire went were (im suprised how easily the Z comes apart! only takes 5 mins to get it all stripped down). I then attacked the car with a multimeter to see if i could pinpoint a problem. The fuse checks out fine (which is confirmed by previously said rear lights are working), the pod checks out fine (all 3 switch positions (off, 1st, 2nd) check out ok) the spindle checks out fine (all positions), and the relay checks out ok (in its resting postion which is highbeam). Now the coil for the relay also checked out fine which only leaves the actual switch in the relay. As its a sealed relay i cant get to the switch to test it so i can only assume the switch in the relay is broken. Now i've spoken to 3 people who all say im an idiot and i quote "its 'obvious' that both headlight bulbs have simultaneously blown triggering a 'fail-safe' voltage to apply to high beams" Looking at the wiring diagrams for the car this is a load of b*lls and no such fail-safe exists other than the relay having a resting position of high beam! Sorry im ranting now lol. So long story short, does anyone know where i could get a replacement relay for cheap? or am i really being an idiot? Thank you for any further help! :-)

Thanks for the pic Zed-sean, i think ill print that out and stick it over the top of the jap one i have. Ill check them fuses first thing tomorrow and let ya know if i find anything. Is the switch hard to replace? Luckily i have a daily driver so there is no mad panic for it. I appreciate the help so far :bow:

yup thats what i mean, but the rear lights are on, i checked the fuse today and it seems to be intact, i was really hoping it wasnt lol. only problem is, all the fuse labels are in japanese, any other fuse locations i could check or will i just have to start checking all the ones i can find?

Heya all, loving the Z but just come across my first problem with it. wondering if you can help :) Driving home tonight and the dash lights and headlights started to flicker a lot, then the full beam icon came on the dash board and about 10 seconds later my headlights went to full beam. They now seem to be permanently full beam as the stalk wont switch them off (even though i didnt switch them on in the first place). Is this an cheap and easy to fix common problem (fingers crossed tightly)? Seems like something has maybe shorted out or is no longer earthing but i dont know where to begin to look!

and a few more:

Thanks for all the welcomes :) Dont worry im driving it really carefully. Heres the piccies i got today, the paintwork needs a bit of TLC as it doesnt look like its been polished or waxed in most of its life:

Heya! Just picked up my 1991 jap spec 300zx yesterday, first performance car ive owned :hyper: They are soooooo good to drive! Im running it as a second car as i have a Primera as well and im over on NPOC. 69k on the clock and N/A Just thought i'd say hi!
