What did you do with your Z today

Nitex · 08-04-2011, 12:12 PM

Took a vid of my Z's exhaust rattle.

nitex- i'll need to take a look later... but you have the HKS exhaust, right? is it hitting the heat sheild somewhere?

or maybe that black plate on the passenge side? i had to remove mine to get the fujimura to fit.

Ken, the emmisions canister shield thing was removed on the passenger side. Im not sure about the heat shield though.

Thing is, that section of the exhaust was removed, and the sound replicated with out it attached to anything.

*EDIT - I sent THMotorsports another email with the video i posted above and this was his response.

"Hey Ryan,

After watching the last video you sent me. Have you tried pulling out the silencer to see if the noise goes away? Please let me know, it almost seems like the silencer could be the culprit. Also, warranty work will be handled by HKS Japan that is correct. The item would be shipped to them and then inspected and shipped back over. Please pull out the silencer and see if it resolves the issue.

Thanks in advance,

^ LOL... amen to that. Likewise...

Nitex, sorry to hear about that rattle. BTW, the video linky no workee for mee-ie...

Keep me posted on the fix, as I want to know what to do in the event my invidia ever acts up like that.

Alchemy, that is one sharp Chicane Z. Friend of yours? or just random Z shot? And as for the spoiler, I actually like that a lot. Has more character than the OEM one.

ahh i see. yah, my car's glossy CF theme on the outside so it gave it the nice duckbill and CF finished look on my car.

hey nitex- if that is the silencer rattling and if you need to keep it on there, you can turn the silencer just a tad to make more friction with the pipe by loosening the mounting screw, turning the silencer just a tad, and tightening the screw back up.

Hrrmmm Oddly i remember when AK got his HKS Hi power, and everyone said.. DUDE remove them silencers.... And everyone replied with a resounding "This exhaust does not have silencers"

I could be very wrong about this, and now im hoping i am. Because ill just remove them if this is true.

you know, i think i too mentioned to you about removing the silencers when you installed the HKS.

and i think you mentioned too they dont come off or something...

it should be removable and you will get not only bigger sound, but mo powah!
