Just wanted to know if anyone has a suggestion on what muffler to use.

At present I have a 3.5" dump pipe, screamer pipe which goes straight through to a 3.5" HKS Super Dragger. The crappy thing is that the HKS Super Dragger sounds nice but has a 3" restrictor in it! :P If you look at the rear there is a funny bend piece which goes down to 3". If I want to reach the 450awkw range, there is no hope with a 3" restrictor in it.

BTW this is all in a GTR R33 with a built RB26 Engine. Can't get the thing tuned properly until the right size muffler is in place, any suggetions on a 3.5" muffler?

Adam, did you end up having one made like you said?

No, I carfully opened up the HKS muffler and did some surgery on her. I can say she had some lypo done and took away the excess fat. She's a proper 3.5"er now and not much louder. :)

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
