Hi all,

i currently have a Blitz Nur Spec 3" Cat back system on my car (Cat is standard), and im am thinking of going from the turbo back but i need a bit of guidence.

First of all, i read about split dump pipes and one piece front pipes, but that has just made things more confusing and difficult to make a decision. my main aim is to basically decrease lag.

What do you all recommend?

The car is pretty loud as it is with the cat back system, will it get louder if its a full system?

Im also after a hi flow cat, i hear catco is the best, do you agree?

Should i keep it all the same brand, if not which should i go for?

Anyway, please post your opinions.

Thanks.

OK I'm going to jump in before everyone else crucifies you for not doing a search first....

Just go out and buy a BATMBL split dump and front pipe in one (dont get stainless its a waste).

And whilst you are there buy one of his metal cats.

You wont be disappointed. THis is the route I'll be going when I have the cash.

Do a search for the thread, its in the business traders section, with dyno results etc...

As said above: Go with Michael's (BATMBL) split dump and front combined pipe in the Business Traders section. They are well designed and pre heat coated in mild steel. Definately choose the split/seperated dump if you want to reduce lag.

Regarding the cats, if you have the money definately go for the Metal Cats or the 5" body metal insert Catco cats. Otherwise get a 3" hiflow cat from Xforce for around $160 delivered - this is what I'm doing as I'm only aiming for around 200rwkw.

Noise mainly depends on your cat-back system. If you would like a quiet exhaust I'd advise adding a mid-muffler (box type) between the cat and rear muffler. Most quiet exhaust bolt on systems (Trust PEII, Fujitsubo Legalis R etc.) have a rear muffler and mid-muffler.

When I had my cat-back only on the GTIR the only increase in noise I noticed after adding a dump/front is that it was slightly more lower pitched, not quite more loud in volume. If you knwo what I mean.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
