Nissan rear mud guards option

[GTR--J]

Wrapped up my Trust downpipe for something to do today.:drive:

[GTR--J]

This will be my favourate part next to my new SSR Professor SP1's wheels which will be here in August.

I just won this exhaust on Yahoo Japan, Thanks to Daryl at the JDM Speedshop.......









ARC Ti FTW!!!!!! Expect a sounds clip as soon as it is at my door!

[kelaog]

Ooo very nice! TI exhausts have a really unique tone to them!

I'm excited to hear

[Wingnut]

Why is it that the parts no one will see, look so damn cool!!! Nismo copper mix twins, Ti exhaust, Tomei rods and pistons.......

Anyhow, nice score J. What is it replacing? Ti gives a pretty raspy note doesn't it?

[Bruizer]

No kidding! I'm wrapping everything from the exhaust manifolds to the nismo catalizer and that's all the pretty stuff. Who sells Quality colored exhaust wrap? The tomei stuff I have is plain, not that it matters I guess.

[RyanGTS-T]

That's wierd. Instead of mandel bends they cut slots and bent it and then welded in the cuts?

The Arc Ti is replacing a fujitsubu 3" with the resonator cut out and a stainless decat. I personally love the sound of Ti and it does sound raspy which I like

Update on the wheels as well, they are on a boat leaving Japan now...I should have them in 4 weeks!!!

I'm picking up the rear nissan mud guards from Cannonbal-R which are on the silver GTR on the page before this in my thread.

And for Ryan GTST You can mandrel bend Ti if you anneal it like a trust Ti exhaust but......... Arc is cooler and so are their welds:shock:

sounds like it's going to be a very happy summer for you Jason!
As for the mudguards, I have them on my car as well, they will look great on your car too.

Its called a Pie Cut exhaust alot more expensive of a process then mandrel bends you will see this done on most Ti-exhaust systems.

[Eber]

I had an RSR down pipe that was a series of Pie cuts that I sold to a member on here. It was a thing of beauty. Selling it was like getting rid of one of the family. I'm sure he is very very very happy with it.



you bastard!

Learn something new every day!

[mcfly]

Mandrel bent TI is available, but very hard to get a hold of and very expensive.
It is cheaper to do that much more welding and cutting then simply using mandrel.

[GTR--J]

I finally got a few quick videos done!!! This is the Mona Lisa of GTR exhausts!The sound is amazing and it took 3 days to get to my door from Daryl @ www.tunerlab.jp in Japan!! The old Fujitsubu exhaust weighed 35 lbs from the cat back and the Arc Ti weighs 11 lbs.
Thanks daryl.
