What's the muffler on there? Kermit can gimme a quote on an R34 GTR vspec exhaust? Prefer quiet but enough flow for about 450hp atw. Would probably want dump pipes done as well.

PM me if you're interested.

Hey guys . i just want to announce that the basic cost of a skyline or s13 ( or similar ) has now risen to $ 700 up $50 from the previous price . this is due to the increasing prices of the raw materials that i need to use . ive absorbed the price increase for as long as i can . the materials i use are of the highest quality and all work is garaunteed for my life time . if im alive , then the work that ive done ( not inc mufflers or parts supplied by customer ) is warranted . if im dead ? well youre buggered lol .

i would like appologise for the price increase but im still certain that this is still the cheapest TIG welded custom stainless exhaust system you can buy .

The muffler is an SMB muffler. Just google SMB exhaust and you'll find their website. Can't remember it off the top of my head. It is very quiet, but you can definately feel the difference between this and stock. Very happy with it.

hey kermit are you able to do an exhaust system for v35? i want it quiet but at same time good flow. can you pm me for price and whats included etc. btw i think i saw you a couple days ago at noranda palms?

cheers richard.

i want a 3 and a half inch system put onto my 34 gtt.... nice and loud too... any idea how much im lookin at?

hey mate , what other mods do you have ? a 3.5" exhaust on a stock motor and turbo will lose you torque . making an exhaust loud is easy but i wouldnt want to go too big in diametre .

ok well its pretty stock, i just figured biger = louder i guess... 3 inch will do the job i guess??

i have a wierd exhaust on it now, but its quiet as so i want it gone... i bought a front pipe to fit gtt but was about ten inches too short of the cat, so somehow i have a dodgy cat back exhaust that wont line bolt up to a front pipe... any thoughts on this?

but yeah, i just want something that sounds really nice and is nice and loud... prob need to do full system i reckon...

Cheers

You can even ask Kermit himself, or Ryan (NISZILA)... My custom exhaust system absolutely pisses, it has a Kakimoto rear muffler and nothing else bar Kermit's 3" system (soon it will also get the 3" catco treatment), the noise is plenty enough. So much so in fact I'm getting myself a mid muffler because it is just unbearable on long distance/country driving. Take my word for it mate! :(

3 inch will definitely suffice, as long as it is complimented with the correct components...

Edited by Marco-R34GTT

yeah i like it but 3.75 inch tip isnt really what im going for... because the 34 will have a full uras kit, i want a big cannon to kinda go with the kit if you know what i mean... i was thinking around 4.5 inch or 5 inch tip... maybe titanium tip... or the same look if thats possible?

been thinking about this for a while now hence selling the other cars to fund this...

Cheers

Guy

No... it wasn't Titanium. Made to look like it though :ph34r:

What you have described is exactly what I have now. Just the muffler that you see at the top of this page on my R34. The muffler choice is what has the most influence on the sound. Marco and I have pretty much the same system except for mufflers. His is crazy loud and mine is pretty quiet. Depends what you're looking for.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
