i thought u get a massive fine for having an exhaust without a cat?

but i would like a bloody curdling exhaust :ninja:

if you dont have a cat dont you get a yukky petrol smell when you are driving, i think i read sumthin along those on these forums sumwere lol

you only get a fine in all the other states. here you get sent over the pits and they will tell you to fit a cat. if i get stickered i will just refit it. i build my cat replacement pipes to be a straight replacement for the cat so changing them over is a 5 minute job. i dont get any strange smells either although you may get a little discolouration of your rear bar around the muffler.

i have a 3 " straight through cannon style muffler , no cat and 3 " straight through front pipe and catback . havnt found another which sounds quite like mine . can replicate the cat back if you like the sound for $800 fitted inc muffler

well ive got the twin 3 inch front pipes that merge into a 4 inch collector that goes into my MetalCat, then 3 inch all the way to a quiet kakimoto, so all id need replacing is the muffler. What mufflers (cannons) do you use??

to be honest i cannot remember which brand it was (nothing flash to be honest ) but i do remember where i got it so i can source more plus they only cost a couple of hundred bucks.

as soon as my car is running well ( my guru is hopefully fixed it already) again i will be making myself known at cruises . so i guess you can hear it in the flesh.

sounds good, let me know when youre up and running

what diametre pipe is it? does it require silicon hose? a rough quote would be about $120 fitted and polished but it does depend on the diametre.

kermit

what sort of cost would it be for an intake pipe for a hyundai excel ( :D )

bout 700mm long with one 45 degree bend

Krammmitttttt once my engine is fitted and gets retuned, I'll need you to knock me up a new straight pipe with muffler.

I'll see you before then anyway more than likely!

Why is GTR for sale :( Surely Vin won't be happy, as neither will u :) Going to miss that EVIL machine

hey mate. sorry but i wont copy stock parts this way. the only way i would do it is to have the car and build to suit . one tiny difference means that it wont fit and then my reputation is gone.

kermit

i need dumps and front for a r33 gtr . no fitting . could supply the stock ones if you need them to make up new ones while the turbos are off . 3in stainless

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
