Hands Up all the Aussies

[Wader]

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.

It was built nov 2023.

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?

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

Great setup. One of each. How do you like the Nismo?

HKS coilovers on the water and bound for my proto next month. There are much cheaper options locally but trying to keep it fully JDM.

Long time not posting in here as I sold my Z back in August last year when they announced the NISMO was coming.

Was lucky to get an early allocation, and all going to plan, I will be posting a photo of it Friday. Feel like I've been pretty lucky in ordering, getting amongst the first allocations both times... Maybe because I chose Black????

The nismo is great. Definately a level above the Proto which is what you pay for I suppose. Happy with it all in all, the only disappointment is the exhaust, you think they could put the Nismo spec on it for the price. Also nismo intakes wouldn't go astray. The handling, brakes, power, tyres, wheels, transmission and seats are awesome though. Worth the money in my opinion at least.

Nice. I agree its good value for money. I had an order on a Proto, but dropped it for a NISMO in white like yours. Then the Auto only was confirmed and I just grabbed a standard Z in black.

I've changed the suspension and exhaust already and the car is night and day better.

I would love to compare a standard manual z against a nismo. Would be so fun and interesting.

What kind of suspension did you go with?

BC Racing DS-DS

Highly recommend. Unless you want softer ride

FYI these cheap LEDs make a great replacement for the crappy stock map lights. I believe they also fit the light in the boot aswell.
