Thanks for the comments guys

and as for modifying, spanners look better on the shelf in halfrauds than in my hands!!
but i'm quite lucky as the previous owner in japan, fitted this!!

apparently it's a fujitsubo legalis-ti! titanium back box and centre section sounds astounding

all i'm planning is replacing the nissan burgers with some "Z" ones, some gas strut bonnet lifters and a new head unit.

Dave I'm just down the road from Bishop mate, we will have to meet up and see if we can sort out a meet. Work in the motor industry so quite busy but take Fridays and every other sunday off, let me know if you fancy a run out one day.
Regards Phill

Certainly is a fujitsubo legalis. Lovely exhausts, sounds evil if you get it decatted.
Fuji make nismo exhausts, so they're pretty decent. smile

If you need a hand fitting anything feel free to shout, once you've raised the spanners at one nissan you've done them all really smile

Stu, i might take you up on that offer, as it's a toss up between me and the cats who's best with the spanners!!

And especially as the missus has a thing for skylines!! we nearly bought a lovely unmolested R32 GT-r in feb, if i had i wouldn't be in the zed!

I'd heard about decatting it but as you may have guessed if there isn't a button on the dash to decat it i havent got a clue where to start!!

Well if there's anything you need to know about with regards to tuning or fitting stuff feel free to fire me an email through my profile and I'll help wherever possible mate.

Decats are a doddle, all it does is replace the cat with a straight through pipe and increase flow. Fitting them is a piece of cake, so swapping them out come MOT time (unless you've got a mate who MOT's wink) takes no more than a few minutes.
If you go that way you might want to consider a set of front pipes, again, takes nothing to fit them and they make a good difference. More noise (Z33's sound great when they can breathe), nice occasional flame on overrun, and more performance, what more could you want.

Loads of other good stuff worth getting for them, just depends on whether you want to tinker with it (course you do wink) or not and how deep your wallet is, addictive isn't the word, I've got the credit card bills to prove it hehe

Hope to catch you soon mate, I'm quite often around your neck of the woods in the Skyline so I'm sure we'll cross paths soon enough smile

If anyone fancies another run out I'm well up for it and I know a couple of others are too, perhaps squeeze one decent length run out before the crap weather arrives in force?

Cheers,
Stu
