Got this series brought up by YT suggestions, oddly enough I have a rusty G35 sedan but still in the Z family same generation I've been dreading working on and fixing the rust. Just binge watched your whole series and you got me itching to do the same
Great video. Currently, I'm in the middle of suspension upgrade due to inner tire wear. I've upgraded Kinetix Front Upper Control Arms & Rear Camber Traction Package, Hotchkis Sway Bar Kit & Whiteline End Links. After watching your video, I will definitely take look at other bushings should go ahead and replace. Next up, I am in the process researching Coilovers. On your Catalytic direction question, I went with Motiv (now owned by Kinetic) High Flow Cat, which are great for emission tests of TX. Now, I live in FL may switch out for Test pipes. Also, I am considering going with Greedy GPP RS Race Single Exit Catback. Look forward to seeing what you decide on your mods.
Get a second hand after market exhaust, this is very much in keeping with this project and won’t break the bank. Check the Facebook groups as there are always people selling exhaust systems for a decent price.
Crazy much work, but you did a great job, as always... Very excited to see, how the fairlady will handle after all the mods. Keep going, take care and stay healthy And as always, greetings from Bavaria
For your z I highly recommend the ISR single exit exhaust. Should run about $400 USD but I got mine for $50 on marketplace for my G35 coupe. I love all of this work, if I had a lift and a second vehicle I’d love to do the same to my car because it’s in similar condition
Perfect choice. Best value, quality, high performance, low drone exhaust available imo. Hi-flow cats and ISR Y pipe and you are done. Cats back are a must for a perfomace oriented Z. The Y pipe is optional but recommended. HR headers (which are equal length) are a great, cheap mod for the DE. (you just have to swap a stud to make them fit) Then cold air intake and a tune and your track car will be in it's basic glory.
Nice. I have the same kit on my 07 Zed (I also have the resr suspension and subframe bushings installed also). The steering feels very direct and stable.
excellent work my friend! my opinion is to kind of restore the exhaust you arleady have and when it gets older and worse you can spend the money on a new one then since its gonnaa need replacement. waiting for the next one!
Replacing the full exhaust burns money for very little return - better to get high flo cats which gave me a noticible improvement (together with Tomei headers)
Full exhaust system and some race cats and you're done...the car looses some weight, adds some BHP, better rust protection, and of course unleashing the true sound of the VQ.
buy a new exhaust go with the nismo exhaust ,,,, and put high flow cats on too will sound better and make more power... on my z i removed the cats and just put test pipes on but we don't have exhaust laws here in saskatchewan canada not sure if you do or don't
Drift knuckles? Angle kit? I'm currently going through this process on my 2 G35 coupes. I'd have to say that the Mid-West USA is more severe on cars. I also encountered the same issues with the front compression arm bushings. They're the worst.
High flow cat! Your z deserves improve breaths and improved response which you need that for track. Plus they don't do rust which is bonus. Bracket seen too rusty to repair
I have seen a few things online about getting offset bolt hole bushes for the front banana/compression arms? I believe that the Whiteline bushes aren't offset? Do you notice any difference at all with them?
Buy a new exhaust system if you can find one in your price range, if not, get new headers/cats, don’t restore your stock ones, they’re gonna fall apart again
Thanks for the video! It's a great help However, I just tried to purchase the differential bushings and I got this message when trying to use your discount code "WL2118 discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart" Do you have any ideas why this wouldn't be working for me please?
That whiteline front compression arm bushing (banana arm) sucks. I went through 3 in a short time cause it just tears. I got so fed up I told them not to send a replacement. Super pro is more expensive but much better design allowing for proper articulation. I have a bunch of other whiteline bushings on my g35 and they are fine.
Yeah it’s just a tough application because it moves in multiple axis at once. Probably why the stock rubber ones fail also. One other thing I wish I did when I had things apart the first time was to drill and tap for grease fittings so it’s quick to add grease without unbolting.
I put a set of polyurethane bushings on my Porsche 911 Carrera with Bilstein sport shocks and just ruined the ride quality of the car. Was worst decision I have ever made and way too stiff for the normal shitty roads we have here in Calif. Would probabily be fine for the track. I hated the car after that and sold it. I'll know better on the next car.

High flow cats! and maybe show us how to pass the emission test 🤔
High flow cats will still pass emissions if you buy decent ones
Definitely the high flow cat, a once and done solution while improving it as a track car.
THIS! Thank you for showing with proper tools (some are rentable), no fire. I’m looking forward to a similar job on my Z32!
Thanks. Let me know how it all goes!
Great vid , you have a lot of patience using the screw press . Kudos

Another great episode! Really appreciate the effort - looking forward to seeing you back on track.
I just sold my cats for 500 odd, so id recommend doing that! 😂😂 would add to the new exhaust fund
The car has got to ride like a dream now😍
Hopefully. Test drive video in a few weeks.
Handles great I'm sure ride maybe not so great.

Keep up the good work

Go for sport cat ! Keep up the good job
Hi mate love your clips. I have a 350z as well. Which part was the lower ball joints? Does white line do one of them as well?
Thank mate. Whiteline don’t do ball joints unfortunately.
I recommend hfc they will give better flow of gasses and improve response and bhp a little.
High flow cat good for road and track plus when you come to sell it it won't put people off
Torqen sports cats on mine and really cant fault the quality of them. Looking at doing the whiteline kit next
if you can get the high flow cats, go for it!
sports cats is the move
Great job! Be good to know how much time these jobs has taken you.
Replacing the full exhaust burns money for very little return - better to get high flo cats which gave me a noticible improvement (together with Tomei headers)
Go for new exhaust! Make the Car sounding better and more clean look(:
Love your videos:)
Why this music make me think I am watching How It’s Made on the Discovery Channel 😂😂
Full exhaust system and some race cats and you're done...the car looses some weight, adds some BHP, better rust protection, and of course unleashing the true sound of the VQ.
i think you should get new exhaust because now under the car looks clean
buy a new exhaust go with the nismo exhaust ,,,, and put high flow cats on too will sound better and make more power... on my z i removed the cats and just put test pipes on but we don't have exhaust laws here in saskatchewan canada not sure if you do or don't

Resonated HFC. Better performance and won't be obtrusive. Sell your old cats at a scrapper to recoup some costs
I dIdn't realize you still had this car, I thought you abandoned this project.
High flow cat! Your z deserves improve breaths and improved response which you need that for track. Plus they don't do rust which is bonus. Bracket seen too rusty to repair
I have seen a few things online about getting offset bolt hole bushes for the front banana/compression arms?
I believe that the Whiteline bushes aren't offset? Do you notice any difference at all with them?
Go with High flow cats!
Is the NVH still decent with the poly bushes? Usually these improve the car for track, but at the expense of ride quality and compliance over bumps
Not had a chance to go for a proper drive yet but I’ll be making a video to find out.
See what the scrap value is. If it can pay for new high flow cats to be fitted then sell if not salvage what you have.
Buy a new exhaust system if you can find one in your price range, if not, get new headers/cats, don’t restore your stock ones, they’re gonna fall apart again
Drift works camber or tow arms I'm guessing.???
You are correct. Front camber arms.
Cats are selling for decent money these days, so see what you get and add it to the funds you have, maybe have close to 1000 for a system once done
Thanks for the video! It's a great help
However, I just tried to purchase the differential bushings and I got this message when trying to use your discount code
"WL2118 discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart"
Do you have any ideas why this wouldn't be working for me please?
Apologies, just checked with Whiteline and the code only works if the total spend is over £150.
@@RoadandRacetv no problem. Thank you for getting back to me!
Great content in your videos

Super pro is more expensive but much better design allowing for proper articulation. I have a bunch of other whiteline bushings on my g35 and they are fine.
That’s disappointing with the Whiteline. Thanks for the tip on the superpro
Yeah it’s just a tough application because it moves in multiple axis at once. Probably why the stock rubber ones fail also. One other thing I wish I did when I had things apart the first time was to drill and tap for grease fittings so it’s quick to add grease without unbolting.
Zip ties and duct tape. Sorted. :D
Save more and replace the whole exhaust:)

Poly bushes seem car dependent. Worked great on the Alfa 156 with no deterioration in ride quality. But have on the T5 and is pretty poor.
Are those HSD coilovers?? 🚗💨
No, whiteline springs on stock shocks.
I was hoping the HSD’s were what was in the new box 😄
Ah, sorry! Good guess but no. Will be getting coilovers at some stage this year though.
I think you just have to go with the new exhaust otherwise you will be continuously repairing it.
515.94 for the bloody removal tool!!?? Holy shit. I'm going to stop shopping now. here in the states i thought $150 was too high.
🔝🔝
Cheapest option I think is to do an exhaust delete Haha.might be a bit noisy though.
How about vertical exhausts from the headers through the bonnet 🤣
If you want to see if they make this car any quicker around the track you know where I am....😁🙋🏼♂️😂
High flow cats with a new back box! Make it perform & sound better.
In my experience old cats aren't worth repairing or saving.
You won’t get any sports Cats for £400 would you? They’re normally the most expensive parts! I think twin Decat pipes 😬😈
The cats are selling for mega money at the moment
Sure it's the ENTIRE suspension, with ENTIRE rubber bushings or ENTIRE polyurethane ones to reduce ENTIRE body roll.
Sports cars all the way if you wanting to keep it road legal
Go big or go home replace the whole exhaust. Borrow some money of your mum.
I though you would sand and paint all parts whilst they are out? Missed opportunity there.
white colour was a very bad idea.... rusty spots will come very soon and they'll be very noticable at white background
Sell the cats, buy high flow cats and maybe cat back
