Hmm, I checked with x-force themselves, and another exhaust workshop. The RRP for the system is at $1600. The workshop qouted me a price of $1,500 (including fitting). I checked some of the online stores, but none of them have the turbo back system - they all have cat-back and then I will have to spend extra on the other items like the dump pipe etc. All in all, it comes to over $1200.

Anywhere else I can check around melbourne?

just jap ...it'll be around $7-$800 for a 3" mild steel turbo back

$500 for just the cat back and canon....so they must only charge $2-300 for the front, and cat...

Hi Dezz,

We actually do the full turbo back mild steel systems for Skyline and Silvia for $699 + Delivery

groovy, whats the best you can do for just the cat back? WITHOUT a cat of course...

Hmm that looks pretty sweet mate, I''l be in for one in a few weeks. Is it worth spending the extra $250 and going stainless steel tho? What are the advantages?

Soz for the stupid noobie questions. But I'm more in the know when it comes to electronics. All this stuff is greek to me.

My personal experiance with Xforce is nothing but drone.

Ive heard some that were not really TOO droney, but still pretty bad.

I am currently really happy with my Fujitsubo Legalis R and if i had a manual car, Id definatly go for the SUPER R

I think Just jap looks liek it is the go - after steve pm's me back, I will make my decision.

But hearing the sound from the mechanics silvia - i thought "bloody hell, that sounds awesome!!" Nice grunt to it when its on idle - like the car sounds like it means business...

i noticed more top end when i put mine on. didn't run out of puff as much at high rpm. all depends on how much boost you are running. with the stock exhaust it was really hard to get the car to hit the rev limiter as it would choke. now will full exhaust it does it easily (not that i try to), if i happen to give it a fang to try to beat traffic it is there in no time.

So you guys all are running x-force? I have been looking at other brands too like the fujitsubo front pipe and catback + matching hks dumppipe - but i have gotten a qoute of $2100 (im assuming the big brands are all around the high $1k or low $2k range). Is there any combinations that anyone could recommend perhaps? Like I keep hearing great stuff about BTMBL's stock, but I would need to get the other parts to complete the turbo back system. I know some brands can be mixed and matched (eg, fujitsubo + hks)- does anyone have a mix'n'matched system?

batmbl split front/dump. batmbl (CATCO) hi flow cat...and a cat back of your choice...thats all you need

ill be selling my 3" tanabe cat back with oval muffler soon...

ebay dump, 3" front was already on the car, but think its pacemaker, x-force cat, x-force 3.5" cat back. if your are worried about the note then the x-force can be ordered with a different muffler, like an oval instead of the cannon.

Interesting topic, been following it from the start as i too am after an exhaust. Looking at gettin a BATML split dump, CATCO metal cat n cat back(not sure which one yet). I'd like a muffler with twin tip(preferably one that kinks up at the tip) or even a twin pipe system but dunno if that'll fit into the 3" cat flange and finding a twin tip muffler or twin pipe is next to impossible. Anyone know where to get one of these?

Also does anyone know of any sites where u can hear exhaust notes with different exhaust systems?

xforce has a twin tip system that kinks up...the part code is P-EX10, or another 1 from them is the PT01. they also have about 5 or 6 other twin tip mufflers, but without the kinked up tips

ok, so some the x-force is droney, others disagree... but everyone seems to agree that the Jap exhausts sound the shiz..

So what, in the design on the JDM exhausts, makes them sound good?

Cheap local exhaust shop 3" exhausst dont sound that bad either, just gotta get a good muffler. I had a mandrel bent 3" cat with a 3" pipe through it and a really big bodied junbl muffler. Not the best system in the world but it performed and sounded really nice, a little bit droney around 2k but another resonator would have fixed that up.

I think the biggest factor to sound is how many bends, what muffler and what resonator if it has one. I've heard stainless sounds different to mild steel as well.

Also does anyone know of any sites where u can hear exhaust notes with different exhaust systems?

I never had much success, I recommend going on a skyline cruise and get ahead and watch everyone drive by. Then ask the owner what system they have :nyaanyaa:

Hmmm... checked out their site, doesnt seem to be there. Know of anywhere else i can see one of these twin tip mufflers? Anyone know wot the notes like on this muffler? Does x-force system also need a resonator/mid muffler?

Looking at puttin this on a R34 GT-T with Batml split dump n CATCO 3" metal cat.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
