Yeah,

Bayside Blue is by far my favorite color for the R34 series and it certainly is eye-catching. It took me ages to find a GT-V in that color. (they're quite rare and the color is in demand) Like I said, it was mainly the GTR's that were available in B-Blue, which works in my favor - most people seeing my car for the first time (or driving past me) think it IS A GTR, just because of the color!:P:(

Of course, anyone with even a little bit of knowledge about Skylines will pretty soon spot that it isn't a GTR, but still...

BTW - what is SAU? If you're refering to the forum, then I found it by following a link on the British GTR register (I'm a Brit living in Japan)

The Kakimoto is a great exhaust. It is a special version for N/A. It doesn't drone that much, but it can be a little loud (though its a matter of opinion), so I usually drive around with the extra baffle fitted in the tail...

Cheers

Dave

Hey Nismodified, why are you buying a jap brand cat?

isent it cheaper to get a localy made item?

id love a A'PEXi exhaust system tho... but short on funds :D

Also... how many of us here with N/A lines have a jap exhaust compared to a localy made exhaust? also... what size are they? im getting a 2.25" front to back... is this a wise choise?

I got a catback lukey muffler and it makes the sweetest sound, i hate big bore cannon mufflers, they SUCK. and yeah why get a jap exhaust when the aussies make tough exhausts that make superb sound. mine is 2.5" i think, thats what the standard muffler was connected to as well form the extractors

i went for jap, because im a bit paranoid about making sure i get some power from the exhaust.

nothing in life is certain, but at least using jap settles my nerves a bit.

any way, i bought a 2nd hand jap cat for a good deal off a mate.

If i had a turbo, i wouldnt worrry as much about where to get my exhaust done.

currently, i have on a 2 3/4" 5zigen, it has a muffler as big as the stock muffler, one resonator. 3.5-4" tip.

very nice grumble while driving along, dead shit quiet after 3000rpm and at idle.

drony at 1900rpm-2900rpm

power seems to pick up well at about 4000rpm, it took me awhile to get used to the noise but i love it !

I've got a R32 GTS25 2 Door...

2 1/2 inch exhaust with Kobe Extractors and resonators

GTSt 'Type M' Brakes (5 stud conversion) 17" Wheels

GTSt Viscous LSD

Currently fitting side skirts, and tossing up between putting a RB30 bottom end, or a RB25DET to get more horsepower

Currently 150kw at the engine

kobe extractors? Was that locally made or is that a Japanese made unit?

if you do proceed with the Rb30/rb25t conversion, i am very interested in purchasing your extrators.

I bought them from NZ, and put them on 3 months ago. I've been stoked with them. To be honest I wasn't expecting a noticable improovement, but the torque increase is great. I will be happy to palm them off to you, when I go ahead with the RB25DET conversion.

Guest R33Glenn

lolzz...nismoman18, the nissan designers must have a short memory span, and your R33 looks dam sweet! talking of things in the boot compartment, i found some small Japanese fireworks and a old japanese lolly wrapper this morning, would of gave me a dam fright if those fireworks went off some how :P

with the badges, i also have red ones, i heard that i was sposed to have blue badges so i dunno..,. Also i was talking to someone about the battery thing and apparently its for better weight distribution (spelling) but i cant see how the weight of the battery could effect the handeling that much..... but yeah either way.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
