Fitment is awesome. I can’t believe how well it tucks. The header must be correct or at least made for the newer system. Its on and mostly tight. I might tweak it a tiny bit. The exhaust tips are ever so slightly off angle and one more exhaust hanger and it’s done. I tried working from the back forward. Which didn’t work. Then I tried middle forward which didn’t work. Engine back worked great. I love learning from mistakes.

Do you have it?

Maybe that’s only rhd? Who knows. But this is the header they are selling for the system now. They are back ordered till June. Maybe they will do the upgraded header then? I hope it works

Maybe they changed the design after the article? Who knows until I try and bolt it up. So current offerings for headers is 510-15035 and 510-15037 . The exhaust says it only bolts to 510-15037, which is what I have, which matches pictures if you google 510-15037. So again fingers crossed:)

It's not, looks virtually identical. Old is 510-15036

Quote from their webpage: It is only compatible with safety standard conformity product 2 seater exclusive Super EX (510-15037) WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. Some machining may occur when attaching an old car. In that case the cost and claims etc can not be applied at all. Detailed data is Super EX (510-15037) installed. 510-15037 Link below. https://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/prods/detail/000000000000002300/00000000000000005128/00000546 You had me worried.

That might be the header that doesn't work with LHD z's. There were 2 to choose from that bolt to the new exhaust. Again, language barrier, new product, so my fingers are still crossed it bolts up:) I am hopeful though. I did as much due diligence as possible.

It’s not. I had Jesse Streeter communicate directly with Fujitsubo to make sure it works with my exhaust. I’m sure it looks similar if not basically identical to their old system. Doesn't look like the header from page one of this thread though. I guess fingers crossed still:)

Nope, only fits my model exhaust, well fingers crossed:)

New Fujitsubo header is in! Well mostly. It’s coated in chromex ceramic coating inside and out for heat reduction. Clears steering well. Also my series 1 heat shield could be bent up to clear

Thanks! I will retain my stock one raw. Then vapor blast one. Then red. See which I like the best.

I got the newer type spray bar back from being sonic cleaned and got the valve cover installed. Wow I love the black and zinc look. This is Prismatic powder coating PWS 4344 Splatter Black

He is a great guy, he is rebuilding my 11 mikuni carbs as we type.

Worked on the valve cover over the weekend and also took the rest of the engine bay off for zinc. Got a new NOS ballast for my ignition and also upgraded to electronic pertronix coil and points. 1.5ohm coil so hopefully my tach works. Valve cover is wrinkle powder coated black. I love how it turned out.

It's still going but they don't do anything mikuni anymore. I believe Dave Premo bought up the parts (http://tuning4performance.com/)

I get the header back probably wed from cermanic coating. Then install time!:) Should clear and have around 2" from the steering shaft.

Thanks! That helps. I have the brackets backwards. Do you have the system?

No instructions. Anyone else get the kit?

Sounds good:)

Working on hanging it. So far so good. Hopefully getting the header back from ceramic coating friday.

I don't believe my bumper rubber is cooked, it's definitely not perfect.

What? All exhaust uses some sort of rubber for movement. Also this far back shouldn't be too hot, I can normally touch mufflers with a bare hand without getting burnt.

Install is going pretty smoothly. Guessing on mounts and directions of mounts. But I think I have it. I won’t tighten anything until the header is in. The header is at the ceramic coating shop. Hopefully finishing this weekend.

Yeah, I will have to look to see if I have that.

Or maybe I am missing something on my 71?
