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.

    • Welcome.  800hp should be a bit of weekend fun!
    • I'm going with "Just run two gates". Fix the problem conclusively. It's the only way you'd ever truly know, right?. This is all pretty much splitting hairs. Even the extreme example where it takes two whole seconds at 100kmh or something sounds monstrously dubious. And anyway, when you're punching the throttle when you 'need' this power, you aren't at 2800rpm in the wrong gear. Test it at 5600rpm in 3rd gear, when you're traction limited punching out of a sweeper. Much difference there when you account for traction?
    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
