It gets driven 2-3 times a week thats all..most of the time it's me too. It really is a unique story because my dad used to have a 240ZG and that was the car that took me home from the hospital...17 years later I wouldn't have thought we would get this car. I don't plan on tracking the Z at all, at my age I still have so much to do and i'm slowly saving up $$$ to put towards the Z.

My plans for the Z for now-

Seibon CF GT Style front lip
Fujimura CF Diffuser
20/25mm Spacers

Hopefully in the future I will be able to get TE37SL'S, a nice pair of KW V3 Coils and an HKS Exhaust
lolol awesome. im planning to grab the TE37SLs also but couldnt justify dropping almost 5k on 19"s (at least not now )

also on a related note my brother is looking at getting a new car also, STi, EvoX etc and we talked a bit about splitting a GT-R but i also came to the same problems. i don't think i could share a car. its too wierd. My brother and i havent shared a room in like 15+ years so sharing a car would be wierd. Im still wrestling with whether or not i can share a car with someone (we have beaters but still) ... on one hand, its a GT-R ... on the other hand, its not (fully) my GT-R

These guys shipped them out really quick they got here in 3 days. If you can ship it to a US address and pick up from there do so. The shipment to canada just for the exhaust was $210, for the hfcs its another $35-50. Duties aren't that expensive but you can save on those as well as both products are US made.

As for the sound its very deep and SUPER LOUD. I actually put the muffler tip silencers back on yesterday. The sound and the low frequency drone when cruising were giving me headaches. I'm still debating whether or not to paint the silencers black so that they arent as noticeable. But they do work they remove almost all the drone, and reduce the loudness, but its still loud enough to get everyone turning around wondering wtf was that, especially on the downshift when it rev matches. 3rd to 2nd going 35-40km/h will rev teh engine up to 3000-3100rpm and thats enough to get everyones attention. As for power and response i definately feel it. Suprisingly i feel it in the low end torque as well. With the VDC on going into 2nd at 2500rpm and stepping on it the tail will actually wiggle quite abit before the vdc cuts you off. With the stock exhaust i never had that.
$210 for an exhaust system? where did you go for the install? i dont want it that loud to give me a headache and mess up my tunes. but definitely something louder then the silent crap now, it turns heads everywhere and mine is completely stock right now, wait til i make some noise and rims n tires, and then some..

Parts + shipping + taxes + duties + new tools($200) =~ $1900
+ about 8 hours of work (god damn demon bolts i actually broke a 3/8" extension)

so compared to other exhaust its substantially cheaper.

maybe I am missing something I thought you were saying you paid $210 for the whole setup..........which your saying would be incorrect.

you are saying $1900 for the HFC, CBE, shipping +fees and a few tools? then that sounds closer to the amount I would have figured. either way congrats and I liked the before and after vid!


I am waiting to do my CBE still to, waiting for PK to give me a price on the AAM version 2......(we were waiting for them to release it)

I don't think sharing a car with your brother would ever work out. Sharing a car with your spouse can usually work but not a car like a GT-R with your bro.
It is a GT-R though...

ye may phrasing was off what i meant was that i paid $210 just for the shipping of the exhaust.
