what if you put on the original pipe to the cat and then leave the (bigger one)

on from the cat back it might reduce it enough.....?!?!?!??

worst to worst.... fail the test.... fit stockie..... redo test..... drive around for a mnoth with stock on... then refit bigger....

or chat to an exhaust place and see if they can help you ....

loz

Richie,

That maybe true but as far as the EPA are concerned, they tested my Nissan Skyline with my number plates :shake:

INASNT, if yr really worried bout your car failing, find someone with a stock R33 white GTSt and change rego and complience plates over and you'll be fine.

Trust me. I know from experience :)

my exhaust aint that loud, but louder than 90db at 3000rpm.

i want to pass first time, cant be ***ed wasting my time going there again

also, over here in QLD, i know this isnt realated, but we have 2 DOT places and they are so full that its not funny. when u get done, u might have to go to the pits and book a time in to get it checked, theres now a 2month wait to get ya car checked.

so i sugest u do it legal and u wont have to worry. do it illegal and be prepaired to wait.

btw i dont know if them butterfly shutters are illegal but i dont see why they would be.

and they would restrict some power as the flow would not be as good. but this allows you to run a bigger exhaust diamater. so i dunow.

yep got 83 db, with the stock cat back exhaust!

they revved it to nearly 5000rpm, if it went over 90db i was gonna tell them they r only meant to rev it to 3200rpm as stated in the rta regulations. I let em off coz they were real nice guys and idnt cause me any grief.

And you all thought I was nutz when I said that they would rev it out to 5k.

They have their own regulations down there and will rev your car simply coz they can.

dont think they have their own regulations i think they were just revving it that high coz it would have registered like 75 db at 3200rpm. U can always pull the regulations out if it went over 90db at 5000rpm.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
