the company who made the pipe was not willing to take blame for the bursting of the pipe or the damage done to the engine. It is a sad story. I feel bad for my friend, becuase he was the first z owner I meet after buying my car and posting on tt.net. He loved his car, and spent every moment living the z32 dream. Now, I don't think he wants to talk about z's. I haven't talk to him for awhile. It would be good to hear from him even if he is not a z owner anymore.
