found it, bosimporting.com.au

he remembers dealing with alexcim.

does a split pipe, turbo to cat in stainless for 450, $20 postage. Few different cats, not shabby, so ill pic up one of them, too. what else do i need? resonator? or leave it out? then split it, with a pair of cannons? whats a decent sounding cannon?

have you tried looking in haoo auctions for you aftermarket parts? kyou will be to find some stuff from there at a pretty good price.

you mean yahoo auctions? ok ill see if i can figure it out, didnt even know there were yahoo auctions... ill try and track em down.

yep had a quick look i have no idea. how do you get to yahoo auctions? never used it

I'd definitely look at getting more than just the rear muffler. It's fine for when you're accelerating or slowing down, but when you're driving at constant throttle (such as on the freeway or cruising around town), the extra size and shape of the wagon body does make it too loud.

I love the way my car sounds when I'm giving it a good rev (and have had nothing but positive comments from everyone I know), but when you're just chilling out it's really tiring to hear that drone. I'm going to have a good look at my exhaust soon (I've never really taken a good look at how it's comprised), and am going to get another silencer on to kill the droning...

Still in the process of putting a good but not too expensive sound system together, which should releive some of the noise issue.

Has any one seen, or heard one of these in action? Not sure how effective they would be, just block the exhaust off to various degrees to muffle it...

There was one installed on a Stagea I had inspected at auction, had GTR IC and a few too many other mods that scared me off though!

This Link might be a little easier for you to read

ok let me get this clear....

resonator, silencer, muffler... differences?

cos i was thinking this - turbo, dump pipe, cat, resonator, split pipe, twin mufflers (cannons).

i have NO idea.

and good to see that bar painted andy, looks sweet. goddam no roofracks...

Exhausts are not as easy as "add this and this"

Resonators are just that, tubes that cut down the volume of certain resonant frequencies (lets refer to them as certain RPM)

Mid mufflers and rear mufflers are mufflers (hence, muffle) the sound.

You need to be very careful when choosing a reso as you need to choose one to cut down specific RPM. Id try to get one for ~2200-2700 and ~3000-3500 as i found when I had my xforce system that they were the most droney places.

The wagon is a bitch, being a single cabin you hear EVERYTHING the exhaust does and also amplifies the sound.

The route that I would take these days (after experiance with 3 different exhausts) is either

- (The louder exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, resonator, twin straight pipe tips (no rear muffler)

- (The more quite exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, magna flow rear muffler

- (The ultimate exhaust) Split dump/front then straight pipe to the end of the car, twin 2.5inch tips (I love twins)

You can also have twin resonators installed as mentioned above.

PS - When i first bought my fuji exhaust, it sounded good on idle. Now it has a popping noise (not like a back fire, more "dry fart" like) and i suspect its from me possibly melting the glass packing inside the muffler..........anyone know if this is fixable at all?

goddammit you guys... i thought this was going to be the EASY part... ok then. might go the top option, as id say that may be the best option for having it split into two at the back, one to each side. if im not thrilled with the amount of noise, i can still put a rear muffler on each?

tough luck on the easy part buddy. took me weeks to understand the terms these guys use.

Anyway always go for the bigger size exhaust just in case if next time you would want to power up your car next time.

im thinking a cannon either side, or split pipes either side like that. like the VIP celsior, or soarer look. with a mid muffler and a resonator for around 3-3500, and maybe one for 2-300. sound right? too much?

I like twin-tips too, whether it's the twin angle cuts like Alex has posted, or one on each side. Two cannons (in either of these configurations) would look nice on a Stagea, I reckon.

well twin pipes looks better with the body works that the stageas. it looks more need i suppose.

a big 115mm pipe looks macho but it looked a bit out of place like ans ass hanging out of a tight skirt

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
