I was thinking bout bending up and making dual exhaust tips, and glassing a second exhaust pod into my rear bar.

What do you guys think?

Im waiting for my adjustable gtr wing to arrive to fit to the cf boot.

hey mate

personally im not a fan, i like the skylines with one exhaust, if you have 2 man its gunna resonate heaps 2.

but its all up to you mate, if it was me i would be thinkin of a duel twin out the original cut, like drop off the cannon and get a nice duel tip, i have seen em str8 through on another 33, it was a gtr tho and had a seperate exhaust for both turbos.

ive got a dual n1. they are the dogs nuts. wouldnt swap em for anything. good luck in finding one though as theyre not made anymore and hard to come by. theres also a trust version out there too

took me all of 3 minutes to find :spank:

Apexi Dual n1

looks good

The main problem I'm expecting is with the position of the fuel tank on the right hand side. I'm also going to need to modify the rear bar to make it symetrical, which is going to be interesting since I've never tried to fibreglass before. I'm keen to make it work though so hopefully it'll be done soon.

Is your rear bar standard? If it is, all you have to do is cut the exhaust hole.

I have done quite a few of these, as long as you take your time they look good.

I'll have to find a pic of an xr8 i did last week.

I've just organised a Veilside rear bar which I'll hopefully pick up tommorow. I won't know exactly where I stand until I see it on the car, but I'll have to make it look the same on both sides, while keeping the mufflers as high as I can without seeing the fuel tank etc through the cut in the right side. Shouldn't be too much of an issue, best scenario I just cut out part of the right side, worst case I'll have to cut part of the right, and fill up part of the hole on the left. Once that's sorted and painted it's off to the exhaust shop.

Silent I don't suppose you've fitted a veilside rear bar before? Do you know if they sit much lower then the standard bar? If the do it'll make the whole thing a lot easier.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
