I had a set of S50B32 headers here to compare (you know why Franky) : 38mm primary pipes (makes me laugh when people say they 'must' have 44s, 48s, 50s for their Z!) and twin 50mm secondaries.

I believe turbos need the exhaust evacuated quicker so it all 'dumps' into one big tube, pushed along by the turbo-ed gas behind it. I'm not 'up' on turbos but scavenging isn't an issue ?

Does it and efficiently ? So, it works on stock cars right through the range - sort of one size fits all.

Nice share - thanks. No fuel tank on the rolled car ? And the size/shape of that which we know must have defined the single-side exit path.....

Could be right there with port scavenging. Good from upper mid-range upwards in theory, perhaps logical to fit that with an S20 producing it's power and torque higher up the rev range. Good therefore for smaller, higher revving engines. Now, is it also good for mild-prepped L28s and strokers ?

Exactly - Reinhard and thanks for the extra info. I wasn't aware that it was twin 60mm which is huge (for specific large cc engine applications ?) and a lot different from Fujitsubos' twin 50mm. For reference, my single pipe is 63mm.

That's because it follows closer the original Nissan design for a twin-pipe system. Having said that, they sold more single-pipe systems within the JDM and export markets. The question to be asked is what benefits are there on a stock (and also prepared) engine from a twin-pipe system ? I have my thery but let's hear all yours.

Well, mine will being only a single pipe. Personally I think their twin-pipe design is 'flawed' ; there is clearly visible on EVERY Z a second (albeit smaller) inverted 'U' in the front diff support bracket that was intended to allow a twin-pipe system to be fitted to every JDM Z. The twin-pipe line and twin exit muffler was an option for the L20 and L24 engines but rarely seen on other than the S20 powered Z432s. A twin-pipe system fitting AROUND the diff is much closer to the original format but Fujitsubo have (finally ,) reacted to improve the fitting of theirs on export cars and especially modified ones which entails lowering the car and freqently (in the States) fitting a larger diff. It's good news and I repeat, it shows that the Z scene is alive and kicking very much into its 'nearly) 50th year :-) !

Standing still is going backwards and they've evolving - good news for the fans and also the Z scene which proves it's healthy....if there was no demand.......!

It's purported to be a higher (not better*) fit to give more ground clearance which'll allow cars fitted to run lower without grounding. I think they've altered the passage around the diff because I understand it now fits with R200s (?). If all that was changed was the resonator to improve performance AND reduce the noise levels by a large margin (99-95 is an enormous improvement), then their previous resonator was allowing too much gas-flow and sound waves along the exhaust lines. Restricting those just proves that zero back pressure aint healthy ;-) and the lines sold by the well-known Z specialist shops with no resonators are killing Zs performance whilst introducing 'drone'. *Some machining may occur when attaching an old car. In that case the cost and claims etc can not be applied at all. Well done Fujitsubo....but at Yen 276480 ($2457), they ought to be pleased.

Hi. This one ? Was he from Bordeaux ? Sadly, sold on perhaps 4 years ago now and I have no news of it. Surprising as it's a small Datsun world here with maybe 200 max 240Zs registered in France.

What sells here are 240Zs, don't worry with 'series 1s', there's no premium here for having an early one.

Is that a dry state ? How is the metal after +40yrs up there ?

Merci Mark - lui et moi se connais. C'est un jeun avec beaucoup de courage et détermination pour réaliser sa rêve. ps merci pour 'la pub' :-) !

Ok, we're in sinc !

Couple of weeks - they're being made now (I hope as it is major holiday time here right now) !

Hi Don......the key fob is yours for free - there is a slight delay until I have the patches - can the header wait ?

Merci.

I haven't mentioned this before but.......goodies ! There is no profit in this - it's just for fun so here is the range : Lanyards $4 Iron-on embroidered patches $6 (images to follow) Leather laser-cut key-rings $12 T-shirts $14 Grill badges (printed resin on s-steel) $30 All with postage on top (if not ordering with a header/line/muffler) but I'll get them out as cheap as poss. normally no more than $12

Sorry - not clear - here is the last FRP price list I had.

Hi Marcel. I realise that FB is far from perfect as a 'vitrine' and that my site is overdue - my fault, I'm awaiting the new batch with which to make updated photos (eg my old ones don't show the O2 sensors and I've new products coming) and I haven't perfected a big part of the text - I have a couple of articles on exhausts that explain everything to help people choose. That said, it'll never be an on-line shop - I want people to contact me before buying so as to ensure they get what they need - big isn't always best and there is no obligation to buy - happy to advise and spend a moment with another zedder. In the meantime, people can contact me via sites such as this, via FB messenger or simply direct via email : seanz@wanadoo.fr Thanks for your patience and understanding. Kind regards, Sean

Merci mon pote !

Hi. A little bit of news and an update of my prices. Unfortunately, with the way the € is performing against foreign currencies, I’ve had to readdress prices with an inevitable but modest (2.5-ish %) increase. As a good gesture, anyone with the intention to buy can do so now (against an August delivery) and pay using the previous prices ! I have some parts still in stock – the rest will be available from mid-August. Included now on the list are my new 280ZX parts and extra S30 rear silencer options. In 2018, I’m hoping to offer a choice of S30 downpipes and also an L28ET header and downpipe. Kind regards, Sean

I consider that very correct of you to have mentioned it and of them to have listened and reacted. The fact that they mention "We have successfully fit every Fujitsubo exhaust on all 240Z or 280Z cars with an R200 diff installed." indicates that they were aware of the problem - no ?

If I was them and being so big, I'd have someone respensable for export marketing who would take the time to check up once a year on retailer's listings - especially S30 ones in the USA unless they marginalise that market ? Anyway, so...we DO agree that Fujitsubo's foreign (export) market retailers are listing their products for cars upon which they won't fit whether those retailers be in the USA, Japan or the GB ? NISMO, as it is today, don't make anything for S30s and can't change their past - it ever it offends them later or appears on some Renault-based Dacia badged as a Datsun in Burma, I shall remove it, advice appreciated - as always. For the record, I have NEVER criticised Fujitsubo's S30 products and the better the competition gets, the more I'm pushed to excellence - best market forces at work.
