Hi all,

So i just got my 34 gtt, its stock everything. This is my first Skyline and first turbo also.

Wanting to put a cat back system on it, but not sure how it will sound? im after a not overly loud, nice RB sound, will this do the trick?

I test drove a white 34 at a importer in Nunawading which i think had a cat back 3" system on it and its sounds awesome, it also had a pod though.

Basically what im asking is:

-Will i be able to acheive this with a cat back?

-What kind of noise will i get with JUST a pod?

-How much (if any) performance gain will i get?

-What brand exhaust do you recommend?

Any feedback appreciated! :teehee:

1. Depends what catback. Different brands/models have different sounds.

2. Again depends what pod. Generally its a sucking air style sound. Some pods are louder than others.

3. With an unshielded pod, you'd probably lose power (compared to a stock airbox) cause of heatsoak. With a catback you'd gain < 10 rwkw.

4. If you want a quiet sounding exhaust go for either a Kakimoto or Fujitsubo Legalis.

Oh and I suggest you get a whole turbo back system. Catback systems really don't do jack except make the car sound 'better'.

Thanks for the tips!

I was thinking Blitz Nur Spec R Cat Back (maybe eventually full), and an Apexi Air filter.

Didn't know an unsheilded pod can make you lose power, so many people leave it unsheilded??

Would i be able to buy a sheild locally? (Melbourne)

Pods go for cheap... you can find one installed for around 100 bucks.

An alternative to the pod is just to replace the regular filter with a K&N performance one. I've also had a few mates drill holes in their stock airboxes. A lot cheaper, still get the noise, better performance and doesn't attract attention from EPA/police.

What kind of noise?

You will usually have to make up a shield yourself. Simple aluminium sheet metal will do.

I have a Trust turbo back exhaust with split dump off the turbo its an awsome sounding system. Although not cheap deffinately worth the cash big difference in power. This is my engine bay however very dirty when i took the pic you can see the box i have with perspex top so you can see the pod. It makes an awsome induction noise and effectively heat shields the pod. PM if you want any details on who i bought the shield off its a guy on this forum and he does it for a very good price.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
