I tried a few times as well and couldn't get it to work either.

Front will be easier to repair anyway. Good progress evilscorp.

^^ Well that doesn't work for me HEADPHONES. Try re-doing your link.

You're talking undoing 10 bolts/nuts I think it is, ...doing it on your drive way under axle stands, well that could be a bit of a PITA to do especially trying to get to 2 of the bolts near the manifold side whilst lying on your back but in a decent garage with a ramp not so hard at all.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I have an STD, Now so do you!

You do tend to get what you pay for imo. Generally the welds & materials on cheaper pipes won't be as good as the more expensive ones. In extreme cases it could lead to the De-Cat pipes coming away from the flanges or blowing from other places although they would have to be extremely bad for either of those things to happen. There will be differences between brands yes ~ Different stainless steel grades will be used, some may have larger diameter pipes (even though the mating flanges may be the same size), slightly different bends (whether intentional after R&D or just accidental I don't know), some have brackets to help support the exhaust system/others don't, some will have the longer 02 sensor mounts in an attempt (not always successful) to stop the EML coming on when De-Cats are fitted. I chose Berks De-Cats when I fitted them to my Zed as at £150 odd they were hardly stupidly expensive. The quality of Berks products imo is very good, ...the welds were clean with no breaks in between and everything lined up perfectly when fitted to the car. Mine was mated to the standard Nissan OEM manifolds and my Invidia Gemini exhaust system. Sounded incredible too. They are not legal (for off road use) but literally thousands of cars do have them fitted. You can either choose to refit standard Cats each year for your MOT or go down the route you mentioned but then what's the point of getting De-Cat pipes at all if you plan on welding Cats/HFC's further down your system?!! Might as well just get HFC's instead of the De-Cats and save yourself the hassle (oh and I did have HFC's before which again were made by Berks which were fantastic). If you have a friendly MOT person though then your car with De-Cats will pass the MOT but then that's a whole other kettle of fish. Oh and do not get anything exhaust related (De-Cats/HFC's/Y-Pipe/system etc) that has those wire flexis in if you can help it at all as they are the weak point of any exhaust part/system imo. Hope that has answered all your questions Mj86 (my old motor in below video).

Ya sorry , forgot to take any good ones really . I'll get some better ones when it's at my house I was only pulling your leg a little but yes can't wait to see some better pictures once you get it home. Great cars BMW's imo, ...my old man has had loads of them.

^^ Worst "new car" picture ever. Very nice.

That's good then. Maybe worth giving him a ring or PM though just to give him a heads up to what you're after as he made need to order parts in. Nobody can stock everything all the time.

PM coming your way with some info for you. Look forward to it On it's way.

PM coming your way with some info for you.

I think for the price it is; if I wanted a really fast car I'd buy an R35 GTR, ...if I wanted a fast sports car then I'd rather look at Lotus or Porsche to see what my money would get me from them. Still not the worst car but at that price there's definitely better about (imho).

They're called "spigot rings" (or "centre rings" by some). You will need them yes. Source with some more info: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Spigot-Rings-Just-What-Are-They-/10000000179072609/g.html When I got new alloys for my Zed they came with everything I needed including spigot rings and I got the package deal from Mitz@the cougar store. Maybe try a PM to him on here to see if he can help.

Welcome aboard James.

Personally I'd say no. Good luck nowhereboy with your search. Can't believe you're selling your Zed again for like the tenth time.

Very nice and some good little mods done already there. Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard Tom.

Early Jap cars have always had sh*t headlights imo. My old 96 Impreza was awful to drive at night so switched the bulbs to "Osram Nightbreaker" bulbs and it was greatly improved, ...even my old EP3 (built I think in the UK though) had fairly rubbish lights until the HIDs were retro fitted that is. Love the Skyline Ian.

Welcome aboard Joe.

I know right! Bearing in mind it's a 6.2 It's going to have a really thick ron davis rad which will fill the engine bay a bit more, but it's definitlely going to have space for air Maybe a big block will be a future upgrade Nah just fill the space with a couple of turbos.
