pipes falling out
you guys ever have this with your SR?
when i try to accelerate, 3 times now in 3 different locations my turbo piping came off, theres so much vibration a chick could get off sitting in my car, i hope its cause i have no exhaust, all im running right now is the downpipe.

I could be wrong but I just thought I'd give you whatever info I have. I had that same problem with my 3000Gt....and the reason it happened for me was because my header was not on correctly....it might be a different reason for you but just thought I let you know that it could be your headers or your tires could use a little balancing....but then again.....the no-exhaust might be the key to the problem as well.

If i had on an aftermarket exhaust manifold id have that checked but its stock so i think it should be fine, and as for my wheels needing balancing, id notice it in the steering wheel and its fine.
thanks for the reply and i hope its only the exhaust too.

well its an SR out of a 98' 180sx so i wouldnt think the mounts are worn out, unless the previouse owner did some crazy *** ****.
misplaced the engine? hmm didnt know that could be done, i just put the screws from the engine mounts into the hole, seems simple.
