Hey guys, the discs and pads on my 2004 GT need replacing and I was thinking of going the drilled and grooved route. Mainly for asthetic reasons to be honest. I'm no racing driver but it would be nice to have a bit more grip if I need it as well. These look like good value on ebay, but are they crap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270888177750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300646467318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 At the moment the car has standard brakes from the looks of it, and worn at that! Making them a bit crap, will these be better? Thanks in advance!

Ah right, nice one. To be honest I want to get it fixed ASAP so as not to diminish my enjoyment of the car, they've booked me in for 9AM tomorroow. Good thing about Longife is that if the exhaust is aftermarket then they are custom building something that fits with the system on the car. I don't want to order a stock Y pipe to find out the exhaust isn't standard.

Guys, Longlife exhausts have quoted £150 to replace this section. That includes VAT and apparently will take about an hour and a half. This doesn't sound too bad as the cheapest I can currently find just for the Y pipe is £130. I'm not exactly flush at the moment so will probably go down this route. They have said they can convert it to a single flexi though, what does this mean in regards to sound, performance, legalities etc? If any.

Cheers guys. Out of curiosity how many pieces (That you can purchase) is the exhaust made up of? I am about as mechanically minded as my great aunt Judith so buying a performance car such as the 350Z might have been the wrong move. But I love them and always wanted one so thought sod it. I think there are 3 main sections after the cats aren't there? The Y pipe where the split comes directly off of the cats, this then straightens into another straight pipe which finally goes into the large backbox? So that's 3 main bits? I'm considering buying a complete new exhaust whilst this bits dead as I had plans to slightly modify the car anyway.

Hey guys, I have owned my 2004 Nissan 350Z for less than a day and already managed to wreck it. Coming out of my inlaws gated driveway I marooned the car on a severely badly graveled section, this is dead in the middle of the gate so you have to go over it, very slowly. (First time I've been to their new place too!) I heard a crunch and the car stopped, couldn't pull away slowly or reverse slowly, just more crunching, because the exit is located on a blind bend I HAD to get the car out and soon before someone pulled in and smashed straight into the car, so I gave it a bit more throttle and managed to get the car off. It sounded HORRENDOUS and now it's back home I can see that I have managed to pierce / wreck BOTH flexi sections on the Y Pipe. Smoke is bellowing from these sections so the car is currently not driveable. Is there a chance I have wrecked the cat too though? I PRAY that I haven't but with my luck if I fell in a barrell of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb. Also, is there an aftermarket Y pipe without those fragile flexi sections? And where can I get one from? Help and advice will be really appreciated!

Hey guys! Viewing a 2004 350Z UK GT today, black with black leather, full Nissan service history but with a staggering 117,000 miles on the clock, GULP! Will post pics later on and all being well should be collecting it Monday, unless they sell it before hand, lol Thanks! Darren
