Datsun Spirit and Spirit Garage are not the same place, one is a well regarded garage in Japan that make a twin pipe exhaust system, lots of other parts, has a great reputation.

The other isn't any of the above!

And where have you heard that Datsun Spirit does not have a great reputation? I've never heard anything but good things about Eiji's work, and I've never had any issues with what I bought from him.

Apologies, I meant they've got a long history of development of parts with the reputation(and prices!) that goes with it.  Nothing against datsun spirit, I just meant they're not the same.

No worries. I was hoping that's what you meant. I think it would be accurate to say that Spirit Garage has a long pedigree.

Spirit Garage have a long history in business and are well known and respected in Japan. 

I can personally vouch for them, having visited in person (to a friendly and generous welcome) and having used a Spirit Garage stainless exhaust system on one of my cars. 

I also got a thorough conducted tour and talk-through of this rather indiscreet car, which was built - and is usually driven by - Spirit Garage owner Itagaki san...

'cos it came out wrong re the quotes....I was referring to this : Nothing against datsun spirit, I just meant they're not the same.

 

BTW, that is one ugly Z !

Don't think it was built to be a beauty contest entrant.

Goes 'quite well': 

 

That's reassuring then.

 

Respect for the work gone into it and the quality....but I see some tuning cars that merit the same respect which make me vomit.

I'll grant that it it is so much better and more than 10 years in advance of the Fuga Z 'race-car' which is probably langusihing in some Florida garage under a silk sheet.

I just prefer watching the period racers out on the circuits - I'm classic and don't like the modern styling.

Going back on thread - what does a Spirit Garage exhaust system and header look like please ?

And does Datsun Spirit produce one also ?

Did you look at their website?  I think Alans ZG had one?
