well i was planning on buying helix test pipes and i checked under my car to see if i had test pipes on it all ready and i don't think mine are stock ..

well mine are black and look like canisters ...are they stock or what ... and also my headers are all curvy and stuff which don't look stock to me .... ill attach a picture ... -derek

 

pics would help...

 

wow, we have to imagine what this looks like. the way it sounds it may be a cheap ebay "i bought some canisters and added exhaust pipe, all for under $100 dollars" exhausts

 

I haven't the faintest idea.

 

lol im on it right now ... i just gotta upload them ... also i guess the previous owner sprayed and had an egt installed with the gauge and also a oil and fuel but none of them work .... he took out the kit but i still dont know why they wouldnt work the egt is connected and the gauges light up at night so shouldnt they work ...

here are the pics any help would be appreciated

better pics would help

 

Looks kinda stock to me...

 

added 3 more pics ... do you guys know if those headers and tps are stock or not .... and finally any ideas on why my gauges dont work? tia -derek

 

U have headers and test pipes. Stock manifolds and Cats look TOTALLY different. Your y-pipe and exhaust midpipe is stock for sure.


Your lucky, you have one of the most expensive to install exhaust parts already installed for you. Im talking about the headers. Lucky you!

How does the car drive? What other mods did u get with the car? Re-Flash? Post some pics of the car!

 

lol the car sounds pretty sick and all this time i thought i was stock ... well i just got the car and if you look in my pics i have a vr4 up for sale ... my 350z has 30k on it and has a short shifter, ur pulleys, that exhausts stuff, ruff 278 rims, the gauges aformentiond that I CANT GET TO WORK!!! (Please Help), stillen intake, and im gonna put a cf air duct on it, besides that its stock


please someone aid me as to why my gauges dont work , i looked at the sending unit and it looks like its all connected just like it should be

 

hey twitch i just noticed you have the same rims as me, how do you keep yours clean, man my lip is so dirty and i cant get it to look non water marked

also i plan on making my own exhaust soon so ill post picks up once i actually do it

 

The exhaust manifold is not stock.


I assume that you are running a catalytic converter because of the big bulge in the pipe. Looks home made.

The previous owner went to a lot of trouble to install the gages.

EDIT: Sorry the bump fooled me. Resonators.

 

sweet guys thanks ... any ideas on how to check tehm gauges .... its been bothering me not seeing them work ... thanks

 

I use blue magic for the lips, u can get it at the auto parts store, its in a little plastic container. Then wheel wax the lips after every polish. Even doing this you will still have to clean then about every weekend with this method. Only waxing about once a month though. Blue magic is about the only wheel polish that works, even the mothers doesnt work for ****. Flitz metal polish works ok. But the blue magic works like magic for real. Every night when you get home its a good idea to wipe the lips down with just a dry rag.

There a real pain in the ***. I hate my 278's. I spend so much time keeping the lips clean. Dont let them get 2 dirty because the longer you wait to clean them they get really screwed up.

Post some pics of the whole car.

 

 

Well mine are way beyond looking that good that little scratches dont make a difference. Maybe use a damp rag or jsut wash them every night. Although the rims on these lips like asorb water and the spots turn white. There just horrible in quality. They have raw aluminum for lips. No clear coat. They suck.

 

lol yea i know twitch they do suck ... hey my oil snensor is hooked up and so is the egt line going to the tp but the gauges dont work .. ill check at there connection and as far as the fuel pressure goes where do i check for that?
