Got them installed yesterday. http://youtu.be/iQgEmT6zB5o When I got the car back, it had some idle problems (erratic idle and dying). After driving it around a little today, everything is peachy. I'm wondering if the ECU is just learning how to deal with the headers. I did get a CEL. I need to figure out how to pull the code. Since it started driving better, I'm hoping it just goes away.

Wow. Looks awesome!

No pics... sorry. I should have taken some when I had it up on the ramps.

@edicer2 - That's the one I saw. Looks really nice!

I can't find pictures right now, but I've seen people install them in front of the arm rest by the brake. Its hard to imagine but the pictures help. I agree - I've been thinking of pulling the armrest out all together to make room and just put a nice boot around the e-brake. I figure I can get some sort of cup holder solution in there if I just think about it long enough...

Thanks for the responses. I have a shop I usually go to. I wanted to ping people around here and see if they had any favorite spots. I have yet to find a mechanic I really like and trust. I don't have the tools to cut the old exhaust out (or a garage). I own a townhome and am unfortunately stuck here as a result of the economy. I was hoping it would be like my other two cars where you just unbolt the old one and bolt up the new one, but it looks like somebody got impatient with some studs and welded them to the flange that my headers are supposed to bolt up to. It'll take me more time than I prefer to spend outdoors this time of year under my car. I need to get it done though so that I can pass emissions here (the current headers are cracked and leaking exhaust).

Man - I feel like I've taken a lot of time if I put in more than an hour... Looks awesome. What does the clay do exactly? Do you rub it on the paint or dab it?

I got my Doug Thorleys a few weeks ago. I went to install them and it looks like somebody has welded parts of my current exhaust together. Between that and having an exhaust stud sheer off, I've decided to take it in to have someone else do the work. Anybody know of any good shops in Utah County that do this sort of thing? Thanks, Jared

I replaced the housing on mine. The new housings have a plastic lens vs glass, but a ton more light gets through. I used just stupid lights from O'Reily's. I imagine an HID conversion or something would improve lighting even further. Another thing to check is the aim on your headlights. Sometimes, if they're angled too much toward the ground, the ground looks bright right in front of you but you can't see stuff far off.

Searched and found this: http://www.nissanpat...s-on-a-95-vg30/ I hope it helps. Also - I don't mean to hijack, but does anybody know if advancing the timing (like reddeath appears to have) is actually beneficial? I have an SR20 with the timing advanced a few degrees and I actually get slightly more power on top and good enough gas mileage to make the premium gas pay for itself.

My Dad kept a Tercel on the road for 240k (carburated) with Seafoam in his gas. It was the only way he'd pass emissions. I guess the theory is it helps burn more of the fuel - making your emissions super clean. It was the temporary solution we needed to keep the car on the road until we could get a different one. I'm not sure why you'd run it in your crank case. I'd expect it would just thin out your oil.

I'm out in Utah County and I've heard about this Wrench-It Center place. Has anybody tried them out? I live in a townhome and don't have a garage and need a warm place to install my new headers.

American Fork. I've driven my truck on dirt before... nothing really challenging though. I'm open though to building up the local community though on this. It seems like there are a lot of people around here with a lot of experience.

Looking good. Keep it up. You should make an awesome burnout video of your tires before you swap them. )

Looks good. I've always wondered if you could do that. Thanks for sharing. Also - did you rhino-line your car? If so, do you have other pictures of it? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I'm getting tired of branches and crap scraping paint off my car.

I haven't opened them yet. I don't remember which ones I ordered. I ordered them in June or July some time and they had to manufacture them.

@JamesRich Heh - I was kind of hoping for the same thing. I guess this is the first batch DT has built for a few years - I hope I don't have any problems. My new studs wont get here until next week so I have at least until then.

I'm stoked. Yeah - I'm planning to do intake/cams/ecu when I do the timing belt. I need to decide between the JWT and Nismo cams. That'll likely come in the spring when its warmer though.

Got these through Rugged Rock's group buy. They just arrived a few days ago. I just ordered some new studs from Nissan ($41.00 roughly). I hope I can get these installed before the snow starts to fly. I'm also hoping on getting the stock exhaust replaced and a Flowmaster 50 installed. I'm going for a more mellow tone - I still want to hear my music.

I don't know how I missed the pin in the Garage section. That was the first place I looked. Thanks guys!

Hey all - hopefully this is quick. I remember seeing a thread here somewhere that had a list of the oil types and measurements (clearances and quantities). For the life of me, I can't find it. Searching the forum for 'oil' and related terms as you can imagine returns an avalanche of results. Anybody know where this is? Am I crazy - does it really exist? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the pointer. It seems as though he's still trying to get his kits put together and manufactured though. Honestly, whoever can give me a price and let me order one first gets the money. I really need to get this fixed and can't wait much longer.

Just saw this... thought I was subscribed to my own thread, but wasn't... I'm still game. What do I need to do to make an order? Just buy them on the site? Also, I'm assuming these bolt up to the stock exhaust...

Did this ever go through? I called Steve back in February/March and got on his list... he said he had some people, but was waiting for more before making an order. I'm open to other options - I've been waiting a while and need to replace these headers so I can get my truck past emmissions.

I just had my CV axles replaced and I still have ticking in the front if I turn really sharp and go over bumps... I have no idea what it is.
