Hey guys, I just bought my R34 two days ago, it runs good and I love it. I noticed the previous owner had a APEXi ECV exhaust control valve fitted to the exhaust and control lever next to the hand break. I asked him about it and he said he hasn't connected it up. But the next day I looked under neath the car and saw it is connected but the butterfly valve isn't moving. That's not why I'm here though. I saw that the valve is located in the centre of the car's exhaust pipe. Normally they would be fitted at the end of the bore right? Have a look at the pics: From the other side (passenger side) My concern is if that butterfly valve were to close, the exhaust fumes have no were to go. Usually they fit these control valves onto the end of the aftermarket exhaust and have an extra hole behind the valve so when it closes the fumes are forced into that opening and will travel down the length of the muffler usually 3 times before it exits (so I've heard) and that makes the muffler silent. Does anyone about these things? Does that setup look right? I'm planning on making the valve work so it will be handy to use for when I'm starting my car at 5am in the morning so I don't wake everyone up in the neighborhood, or if a bored cop tries to follow me.

Hey guys, I want to sell my R33 GTS Wheels, Air Filter & Muffler as I upgraded to a GTSt a year ago so they have just been sitting in the garage collecting dust. If you are interested in any of the items feel free to send me a PM. All prices are negotiable. Make me an offer. Located on the Sunshine Coast. $60 for the set - Wheels are Nissan 4 studs (Nuts included) - I'm not sure on the size, but if anyone is interested then I will measure them. Tread is getting low and I think 2 would just be legal; one has had a puncture fixed. $15 - Air Filter Box $20 - Stock Muffler - Has a little surface rust.
