Azon Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Just want to know whats out there. So far I have only heard of pacemaker and genie extractors - what do people think of them? Any other options? Quote
NZeder Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 How much are you willing to spend? You can still get some from Japan from Thrust/Greddy here is a link http://www.trust-power.com/nissan/fairladyz/exh/tr_na_exmani.html . I have a set of Fujitsubo like these. http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/psrs-v.php3?id=00000090 There are a number of other places in Japan. Then you can get plenty from the US including some from Nissan Motorsport see http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CP&Category_Code=s30_nismo_headers I am sure there are many more.

Thanks for the links. I dont think I am willing to spend money on such expesive japanese brands. I am looking for some localy produced options. But just out of curiosity how much have you paid for your fujitsubo item (looks GREAT)? Quote
lambs Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 HM headers used to make a copy of the Nismo L6 extractors (well of course they weren't sold as such because that would be illegal ). They were an equal length header style and worked very well. That said, I've been told recently that HM no longer male L6 extractors, but might be worth checking. Quote

Also how would hm compare to Pacemaker or Genie? Quote

Never seen a set of extractors in Oz for round ex port heads - and that's not surprising because round ex ports heads are almost exclusively a US market phenomenon (I've had quite a few L6 heads through my hands over the years - either owned or worked on - and I've never seen a round round ex port L6 head). I've used HM and Nismo exclusively, so can't really comment on any comparison with Genie, etc Quote
Pants Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I called up HM and they told me that you need to modify the extractors to fit the l28 because it is EFI, they said you need to do some minor grinding around the exhaust ports. I am a noob so I have next to no experience so I'm just going on what I was told by them. Anthony. Quote
Toecutter Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I had to make up some half machined "washers" to hold mine in place otherwise i'd blow the exhaust manifold gasket. I think Nate had the same problem on his old 2 seater 260!? Sulio Quote

Price is around the $450 mark from memory Quote
yelloz Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Hi guys, hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread, but I've been going through the header question in the last couple of weeks. I just bought some HM make 240Z headers (which were highly recommended) for my L28 240Z. I'm told there is no difference between the L24 & L28 as far as headers go - I hope that's right. Anyway, I went to fit them but it looks like I'll have to take off the carbies (SUs) and inlet manifold to do this, as it looks like they are bolted on top of the headers. Can anyone tell me if that's the case before I get in too deep? Thanks, Rick. Quote
JP240z Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 yeah, from memory my inlet manifold covers the headers. Quote

Lynton Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 There is a set of HM extractors new on Ebay at the moment for $370.00 Lynton Quote
Bruce Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 did anybody bid for these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120011148880&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com.au%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D120011148880%26fvi%3D1 Quote
