Does anyone know of any places in Brisbane that do exhausts, custom ones also and is there anything i can do to get more of that raspy note without changing the whole exhaust system???

[robbie]

I'd get some decent coilovers or H&R springs in there first before moving onto the sound

Northside definitely Rob Bliss Exhausts at Geebung. He does great work from what I've read and heard from others. May I recommend you taking a look at the R36 section of this forum it's huge and full of great information.

Fabulous fabrications or CES exhaust too. Mike @ Prestige & Performance seems to be highly spoken about to on the forums he does custom fabrications.

Well was out the other night with a few guys from the MPS forum taking photos.

Heres a few from the night. Hope you guys like.

[robbie]

Epic photos mate! Captured the Candy White really well.

[R36R]

Well i finally got around to getting the car tinted.
Went with 20%.

Also i know this has probably been asked thousands of times and some will probably say use search....(I have). But i just want to know what certain LED's will work with the front parking lights. So far I've tried about 8 different sets that all claim to be error free/canbus compatible and no luck with them. They turn on for about 5 seconds then go out.

Any help from anyone that has successfully changed them would be extremely appreciated.
Cheers

Oh also. In regards to the HID headlights. I know they are the 'D1S' type bulb but I'm wanting to change the stock ones to 6000K. Is it only the one bulb or is there 2 bulbs as they are the Bi-Xenon HID's?

Cheers again. Sorry to be a pain.

On another note. I installed the paddle shifter extensions an changed over the interior lights to LED. Still have to do the glove box,foot wells and boot and of course the annoying front parkers.
