looks awesome, mate! needs a spoiler though...

i think i might get mine done in 3" (already have 3" dump/front), going: turbo-> 3"dump -> 3" front -------> 3"cat -> 3" muffler -> 3" resonator ------------------> 3" cannon muffler all straight through in design and all the same diameter fair trade off for the power me thinks (those lines are suppost to represent the approximate distance of pipe beween each component)

just so you know i put a set of rb26 cams into my rb20 last week and it was a great upgrade! 2 peopole are selling sets in the FS section of the forums also...

you might be able to find stuff here: www.carmate.com.au www.nismo.com.au

quality idea! there's HPI/zoom/speed etc.

tisk tisk Jevan... you HOON! :)

can i borrow it then? i have a DVD burner

huh?? you running a pea-sized exhaust wheel on a 7ltr engine?

hey my dad and i fitted mine ourselves we drove the front of the car up onto car ramps to get to the bolts on the underside of the turbo BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THE BOLTS BACK ON!!!!!!!! we snapped a bolt, and had to drill through it and re-tap a thread so i could put a new bolt in! turned a 2 hour job into a 6 hour job! if you get an exhaust shop to di it it will take 30misn and you will be spewing when you hand the money over for hte little work they actually did! also, we used the same gasket as its condition was fine and we had no exhaust leaks. good luck! Waz.

this is why i was thinking of just going to a 2.5" cat-back... how does a resonator work? is it straight-through in design like a muffler and how does it rob power? you could just run 2 resonators if it will only lose you 5kW overall (a fair sacrifice in my opinion for ride comfort.

sounds like a slipping clutch to me. how long ago did you change it? with a stock one or aftermarket one? if it were the boost solenoid going then that doesn't explain why it revved to 8000rpm suddenly it would only explain the loss of power. maybe a problem with the diff? sounds something drivetrain-related as if the engine lost load and just revved freely... let us know how you go, Waz.

yeah if its fullboost at 3500 it must build at around 2500 or even as low as 2000rpm which i would be pretty happy with if i was you!

I'll be in for: Team Lesibans rule Team I like boobies Team dun *** with me i drive a skyline otherwise i think a team is a bit gay...

as for sponsors, i would consult all the website sponsors (eg nengun etc.) then maybe JustJap, Nissport, and any other nissan/jap car specialist that can always do with a bit of adevrtising in the correct places

i haven't voted simply because it would depend on the design / colour scheme and price on whether or not i would get one $70 - i'll pass $40 to 50 - more reasonable favourtie design is definately the BMW grey with black bits...

sweet thanks mate... am going to do a plug change and thought i'd check what my mechanic set the timing to while i'm at it

how many k's has the car done? am interested in the fuel pump but want to assess its condition first...

take $10 for the GTR DVD?

are you going to measure a/f ratios as well so that i can tell i'm running mega rich

was a great drive... thanks to those who organised it pity i was the only one flying the flag for the R32's... but very happy with my first ever cruise and will definately be going on more now that ive lost my 'cruise virginity'

mandrel-bent, mild steel, including cannon-style muffler and resonator installation included

jnr32n - idiling has no issues at all. sound is much nicer under throttle but much the same at idle (ie not really lumpy). my standard cams were DEFINATELY changed as my mechanic is a family friend and also i have my std cams back. Well if there were going to be any problems they would have surfaced at the cruise on Saturday through Mt Dandenong. The install is fine and everything is going well. some things to note after further driving: - fuel consumption has not been logged yet as i havent given it enough time of normal driving - top end is much improved over stock i think ive picked up a fir bit of power there - bottom end much the same (although my std exhaust is hurting my result) although throttle response seems to be better can't wait for a 3" cat-back to be added to really make use of the higher lift cams you are all talking about 'retarding the cam' etc. and about having trouble with the timing. my question is: if i check my timing with a timing light will it not be reading correct?

does this make sense to anyone else?: well if you have no BOV then when the throttle body closes, the boosted air travels back through the intercooler and through the turbo with the flutter sound as mentioned above from the air being 'chopped up'. Then, the air passes trhough the AFM, which is a wire that cools with the flow of air thus the amount of cooling determines the airflow. So the AFM detects the air coming back out of the intake system and thinks its sucking air in so adds enough fuel to compensate. Result? the car blows a puff of black smoke as its just run real rich for a second... thus its bad for environment and the EPA is right (again!) OR, am i completely wrong? (wouldn't be the first time...)

i'm in as said in the other thread just put the rb26 cams into my rb20 and hopefully should have my 3" cat-back on then also so should make some nice rb20 power!

all hail king Skdneykid ! i'm just glad i din't try it myself as although i can hold a spanner well, at the end of the day i don't have the required tools to do it the way i would like plus, really i don't have the required knowledge to know what bolts need to be tightened certain amounts and what bolts to leave blah blah ... haven't really given the car a good go yet as it was raining on the way home and i was just talking it a bit easy. will be going on the VIC cruise (Mt Dandenong) tomorrow so can give it a bit then to see exactly how much the engine characteristics have been altered
