It is the Tanabe axle-backs with OEM mid pipes and the Kinetix HFC's. I changed it in my signature to be more specific after your question.

 

Based on what I've been reading here over the last few years, I suspect your welcome lack of rasp has something to do with your OEM mid-pipes.

Good looking sig line.

 

It really is a simple DIY, a bit time consuming but not hard at all, and the results are very worth the amount of time spent. Here's my DIY and there's a couple other DIY links in my thread for coupes.

Sorry Justin for the thread detour, I won't post any more about it here

 

No problem at all, the DIY thread I used was originally posted by GoFightNguyen.

 

"midnight" (as 180 dubbed them,) is a little different - it entails cutting open the tails from the back (you can't bake them,) and painting the internal chrome reflector black. The net result looks just like the continental gt supersports (and doesn't affect the light output at all [not that the gtr does either.]) I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

 

My bad, that's the style that gives you the dark cherry red shading, that's a nice look for sure.

 

what the efff??? they don't make them anymore? :/ the sickest looking tails for Gs IMO... but $400 is definitely nuts... yeah if you have done yours yourself, just might as well help out with that mod since you now have some experience I wouldn't wanna touch neither headlights or taillights by myself , not too confident trying to customize these now you make me want to get them midnight tails done !!!

 

No kidding. If ScuderiaFan wouldn't have came along I wouldn't have these tails. I now want some custom painted headlights, but have not the hair on my ***** to try to "bake them apart". Someone will part out eventually.... I'll be waiting in the shadows for them.

 

It's seriously easy. Not even remotely the hardest diy I've done (the headlights, I mean. The tails were a Pita.) If you can work a screwdriver, you can do it. Nothing to be afraid of! Unless you fall asleep withhe headlights in the oven, you won't hurt them.

 

LOL Okay, but I'll take your word for it.

 

This thread is great. Awesome write up, tons of info, and goddamn does your car sound good!

What exactly do you mean when you say a difference in drivability? I've been considering getting a tune after I install the HFCs (and buy) them, but I haven't looked too much into it. Uprev seems to be the way to go?

 

car sounds as good as it looks

 

Uprev is predominantly what's been used for tuning these cars once all the mods are installed.Another brand of tune is Ecutech but it doesn't have the different modes to choose from. I'm going to go with the Uprev due to all the good posts I've read on it. My car hasn't changed really after putting in all the mods. Drivability I believe is referring to does the car feel different, Does it feel like something isn't right. In that case, NO! The tune will just optimize all the added parts, giving you the most banging for your buck.

 

sorry, I had to laugh at that one. My wife barely tolerates the car modding..if I had told her Uprev would have gotten me "banging" for the buck, pretty sure I would have been sleeping in the car


Drivability - no implication that something was "wrong" after my I/HFC/E mods, but the car was definitely running very lean. I primarily meant that area under the curve (what you use every day, rather than peak dyno queen #s!) as well as responsiveness were significantly improved.


Notwithstanding anything else, the key changes with uprev are fixing the lean afr (more fuel with breather mods = safer, and more power,) and removing the throttle restrictions, and these sum out to better everyday responsiveness / driveability.

 

Thanks, I've been trying to do research throughout the afternoon on Uprev vs. Ecutech. I'm leaning towards the Uprev pretty heavily.

I did notice a lack of response once the intakes went on. It's still new to me but I feel like the car has lost a little more since the HFC's install. Hence, the upcoming tune.
