Fitment of Circuit Sport downpipe on s14?..Need comment - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Kriskouki · 02-13-2008, 01:23 AM

Hi,

I came across the fitment of Circuit Sport downpipe on my s14?...I was planning on buying one for my s14 whenever I am ready for an SR swap...but trying to look for the information on the fitment of these downpipe but only found the word s13....

So, has anyone use this type of downpipe on s14?....And, my intention is that I want to swap my s14 SR into S14 chasis.....

And, compared to another brand such as Blitz or XS engineering......What do you think about Circuit Sport in terms of fitment and welding quality...etc...

Have fun getting at the bottom bolts/nuts on the elbow. I'd reccomend getting a separate elbow and downpipe. That way you can put on the elbow before you drop the engine in the car and actually be able to get all 5 bolts tight.

the circuit sports downpipe has a divider plate on the elbow also, so it might be a little better than some elbows without them, but in terms of quality i'm unsure of them. seems just like a dmax copy

i got one on my s13 and it was wayyyyyyyyy off, so i cut bent/ welded. nothing was wrong with my car. it was the pipe. took 3 weeks to come and didnt even fit right.300$. dont waste your time or money getting the run around for a shitty over priced part.

Yeah, but you're over in JP, here with the left-hand drive, you have a steering shaft coming down right there that you've gotta to manuver around. Not impossible, but takes way longer than it should.

i didnt find a problem with the down pipe and i have put them on 4 cars. the problem i find is that the car is a bit tweaked and just smash the frame rail back into place.
