Hi there,

I went out for a skidpan day with evilweevil and crew the other day (great fun BTW). My car was too quiet. It has a 3.5" kakimoto rear muffler and another quiet big resonator or muffler further towards the front of the car. (Still in cat back section). What I was thinking was to just remove the rearmost muffler (it is flanged) and buy a 3-3.5" Flange and weld a bit of 3" pipe to it so it comes straight out..

Anybody done this..

Is it legal for the track?

How loud do you think it will be.

That way I can just swap over the easily removed rear section before track days etc.

Chris' car and a few other R33s sounded so good. Craigs car (a white r33) also sounded great.

Thanks

Ps. I realise I would need to weld on something as a hanger..might need one bend aswell.

Doubt it will be very loud with a large centre muffler still there.

This is what my car has. I drive on the street like this.

3" batmbl split dump.

stainless cat.

3.5" catback. it has no centre muffler. mandrel bent. very few bends. only restrictive thing is a cannon. but it has a piece of pipe trhough it anyways.

so imagine that the cannon is just for look.

so imagine, basically, just 3.5" straight from the turbo.

I don't find it loud. I reckon at 4800 rpm, it might just be about 100-105 db.

most tracks have a noise limit. But really it's a bit of a waste of time just to try and make your car loud to be cool. especially if you aren't that quick. people will just hear your car, and think why is that car so loud, yet so slow?

Hahah. Fair call. Driving skills are hard to acquire

Not to impress really but I would like some nice vids where you can actually hear the RB reving a little. For down the track (no pun intended) when we all have electric motor scotters..

I might whip one up anyway - $20 in material and about an hours work..

I don't think it will be unbearably loud just a bit louder ..have to see.

Thanks anyway

People will just assume you're driving an Alfasud with a Skyline bodykit.

Ben,

My middle muffler is removed and its straight through :O

thats all I would do!

that'll do the job - my car sounds loud on full noise and is slow but I dont care :laugh:

Chris - you impressed me either way heheh

Funny I'm getting accused of adding rice factor. My car's a very stock looking 4 door. First time I've been accused of this. ...

I guess I could flange the centre muffler and add a straight piece to replace - but its stainless and would have to get some stainless mig wire.. and I don't really want to butcher it.

Might be one of those things I wont get around to doing.

Cheers Chris..

hahah your car is the total opposite to rice mate - dont worry about it!!

(4 door family cars haha - kididng :laugh: )

if you dont have time, go see Gary at northshore performance exhaust in hornsby or any other exhaust shop around you at the beaches and ask bout the middle muffler being removed - when I had my rear resonator on my LS1 removed into straight through - was only 60 bucks!

Hope that helps Ben!

Cheers,

Chris

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
