Ok, so I had a non turbo R33 and did the engine conversion and my car is now a turbo one. It used to sound sweet as. I expected a little of the exhaust loudness to dissapear when a turbo was put on but this took away heaps of the sound I loved...

I spend a bit on it too because it is Apexi stuff.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to make it louder again?!

large diametre exhaust, 3 or 3.5" system incl dump, hiflow cat and either no centre muffler or hot dog style resonator and should be quite louuuud.

I went and saw a place today and they quoted me $150 to get new piping and take one of the mufflers out. U rekon 3 or 3 1/2 inch is better? If I'm going to do it then I only want to have to do it once and want it to sound sweet again...

fully tabully mate!!!

nah honestly i get so sick of loud exhausts. my old swift was 112dB at 3500rpm (used to rev to 9000rpm btw). if u want sound then get the 3.5 turbo back with a canon but yeh more sound doesn't nessary mean more performance. I didn't notice any difference in sound from going to a turboback from a stock exhaust with a larger muffler. still sounded the same but yeh mines only 3".

I think I'll go with the 3.5" then. I wouldn't normally have wanted to change it but I just got so used to the one it used to have I'd like it back (won't sound the same I know) - but at least something similar!

Thanks for your help

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
