VoicedbyAnt Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Good morning, all My 2005 Fairlady Z coupe failed its MOT - as expected - on the exhaust. The garage highlighted a couple of cat back exhaust systems for me to look at, but the suppliers seem unable/unwilling to guarantee their compatibility with a non-UK production model. Bearing in mind my absolute ignorance with regard car parts, can anyone tell me of any differences in the UK and Japanese 350z exhaust systems that might cause incompatibility and, if there are any, how I might overcome them?! The couple I've been pointed at by the garage are sold by Japspeed (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183696690128?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D9b197b1cb7d44c95997fa18f4f3e206d%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D183696690128%26itm%3D183696690128%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DJapspeed&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7f618642-c478-11ec-8539-d2b168b85494%7Cparentrq%3A6002c2b21800a45ff807bfc6fffce36e%7Ciid%3A1) and Gravity Performance (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153257918189?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&mkcid=26&ch=osgood&euid=6643a79a181844c69504984a791a42bc&bu=43099214837&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20220425010946&segname=11051&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid).

VoicedbyAnt Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Thanks Jeff! Fingers crossed, although with a holiday falling between now and the MOT expiry date, I may have to bite the bullet on a UK-spec exhaust and see what happens!

Short Paul Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi buddy pretty sure that the fitment is the same, torqen performance will be able to confirm and supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbs Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi Anthony. I can't see any reason why the exhaust fitting on an import would be any different to a UK car. If there are any slight differences, I'd imagine your local exhaust fitter could sort it out. Let us know what happens.
