[QUOTE="Fujiwara-Ben, post: 755384, member: 20044"] Today i spent all my time test fitting and then fitting my K11 exhaust system. It "fits" but it does need quite a bit of tweaking to make it for properly. Gonna have to mess around with some flanges and shorten the backbox pipe as well as change it's angle. Although considering it was never supposed to go onto a K10 it ain't that bad. Seem Nissan didn't bother changing the path that the exhaust follows that much between the generations. [ATTACH=full]53337[/ATTACH]Front braided brake lines turned up today! Will be fitting them at some point before the MOT (as the front passenger side brake line isn't looking so great) [ATTACH=full]53338[/ATTACH] Exhaust brought up in the mighty Volvo Estate. Got some fuel too, mainly to test to see if the fuel gauge was working or i may have been really low on fuel. [ATTACH=full]53339[/ATTACH] Turns out i was just really low on fuel haha [ATTACH=full]53340[/ATTACH] Decided to compare my new system to the old K10 system. To be fare they are really similar in design. The K11 one does look a bit longer but i found when it was on the car it didn't look anywhere near as much as that [ATTACH=full]53341[/ATTACH] So test fitting of the manifold showed that the alternator cable was rubbing on one of the pipes, the rad fan cable was also rubbing. [ATTACH=full]53342[/ATTACH] A bit of tweaking and a cable tie later, no more rubbing. [ATTACH=full]53343[/ATTACH] Next problem was the splash guard getting in the way. [ATTACH=full]53344[/ATTACH] Solved that with my Jnr Hacksaw! [ATTACH=full]53345[/ATTACH] Next problem was the backbox would not bolt up to the rest of the system as it was fouling on this part. Took the decision to cut this part and fold it back. Later on i found out that i did'nt have to do that and was a bit annoyed that i was hacking up the 10 for nothing. [ATTACH=full]53346[/ATTACH] Results of my hack, using nothing but a crappy hacksaw and a hammer, can't tell you how much i hated doing that, and like i said turned out i did'nt even need to! :( [ATTACH=full]53347[/ATTACH] Hangars on the backbox were getting in the way. [ATTACH=full]53348[/ATTACH] So they also got chopped off. [ATTACH=full]53349[/ATTACH] Backbox finally fitted to the rest of the system. Not quite at the right angle though. [ATTACH=full]53350[/ATTACH] And it has a silly amount of poke, both of those problems can be sorted when i get the car down to my mate for welding [ATTACH=full]53351[/ATTACH] Goes over the axle ok but fowls a bit on one of the steady bars on the axle. [ATTACH=full]53352[/ATTACH] Quite a few cable ties hold the system into place, not that happy about it but they'll do for now, like i said when the K10 goes down to my mates yard i'll get him to tweak it and put hangars on it :) [ATTACH=full]53353[/ATTACH] For some strange reason the flange on the manifold downpipe flange is on an angle and thus throws the rest of the system on a downwards angle.
