Hands Up all the Aussies

[MattJ2020]

So... after owning the Z for nearly two months now...

It needs an exhaust

I love the car.

Has anyone purchased and gotten an exhaust installed locally here in Australia?

Also two quick things. The car redlines at too low of an RPM... 6900 isn't enough haha but I haven't taken it on the track yet.

Secondly, the center console right of the handbrake and around the visible cupholder scratches too easily. I'd love to get it replaced with Alcantara... as we all know you can easily find carbon fiber parts... thoughts?

Both home safe and sound . The Nismo is a good bit of kit. Hope everyone is well!

Axis parts is supposed to be offering a ton of alcantara pieces in the near future. If you're on Instagram they have a Z owners chat discussing them.

Thanks heaps!! Seems odd I waited 20 months for the Proto to arrive and now I'll probably sell it after driving it 600km.. I don't want to sell but it's not a financially smart decision to keep both. They do look good together though hey!

It’s your call if you sell one or not. If the PROTO is a manual then I’d expect they feel different enough to drive so not too hard to justify keeping both

it’d be like having a wrx and and sti. I upgraded a wrx with 24,000kms on it for a sti a few years back - they were different generations. I couldn’t afford it at the time but if I could do it now, I’d keep both.

I was just after a bit more sound from the exhaust too. I don't need a performance gain just yet.
I had looked at the Takeda axleback/muffler delete.
I saw some others on FB just had them made locally.
So I got my local exhaust shop to knock some up. They came out beautifully. Add a good amount of sound without being crazy and look great.
Worked out about half the price of the Takeda pipes.

Great idea - may I ask how much you paid - this solution would suit me.

btw - love the colour.

im not sure if it’s still happening but there were some dock disputes holding up freight including cars a while ago.

there’s nothing worse than waiting for your car - hope you get it soon, it’s worth the wait.

We finally received the vin, and the car's on the water set to get to the port in brisbane around the 16th before it gets delivered to sunny coast around april 4th.
All hope is not lost for you guys, will be a 16 month wait for us.

My first spot! Parked two bays away at PCEC. Does anyone know the style of that license plate too?

Hello to the owner!

Looks like it might have an aftermarket exhaust too just looking at the tips…

Ditto, what was the cost and how long do they need the car for, or can you just DIY fit?
