Well guys/gals - its finally here! My turbo back exhaust is complete! BATMBL s/steel front/dump pipe, large 3 inch catco cat and Trust PE2 cat back! About $1400 odd, for the whole lot including installation and it sounds great! (well to me anyway) Got RE Customs in Springvale (Vic) to install it - and yeah, it makes a whole lot of difference. Havent really taken the car for a good spin yet, due to the rain, but it feels a lot better to drive. Its extremely quiet too, until about 4000 revs - then it makes a howling sorta sound.

The overall installation was pretty much spot on - everything fitted perfectly according to Ray Evans. Took it in today at around 11am, was finished by about 3 (including my 5000klm service).

Will post up pics after I washed the car.

(Michael - batmbl - thanks heaps bud, was a great buy the dump/front pip and cat :P )

Lovely exhaust... got one on my 34 :woot: You want it to sound even better? Get them to cut out the centre muffler (resonator) from the PE2 and replace it with 3" straight pipe... done that to a few cars now (all with PE2s) and they absolutely roar after!

Thanks bud - I am quite happy with the way it sounds, as it doesnt attract the cops - how much louder would it be without the resonator?

There are reasons for doing it though; not all for the sound...

1) The resonator (in my case) was hitting the uni-joint (???) after the split front/dump installation so it had to be removed to stop the contact.

2) The resonator on the PE2 is not straight; if you look at the entry and exit; it's actually off-centre. This can restrict flow... replacing it with a straight pipe will solve this.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
