G'day Mick,

hey wayne,

Three questions

Where did u get this from?

How much?

Much quieter than a canon?

Is it more restrictive than the canon?

cheers mick

Where did u get this from?:

Bought & fitted at Kirrawee Mufflers

http://www.kirraweemufflers.com/

How much?:

Both Kirrawee & Best Mufflers quote $500 for this specific model.

I originally ordered the single pipe oval for $400 - they couldnt get me one straight away so they offered me the dual pipe version for the same price :D I'm glad I ended up with the dual pipe, looks much more stock.

Much quieter than a canon?:

Definitely quieter than the cannon I had fitted, or at least has a lot less bass.

I also replaced the large resonator I had for a hot-dog type, this would affect it as well of course.

The new muffler is still fairly loud when the valve is fully open, I had a mate take it for a drive past me and it did sound very nice indeed.

Is it more restrictive than the canon?:

Yes, no question at all - I did go from a 3.5" to 3" for starters. Theres no way it could be as free flowing.

I'd love to put it on a dyno again (was dyno'd only 3 weeks ago) just to see the numbers.

I've done quite a few 0-160 tests since buying the car, and with the new muffler I am honestly hard-pressed to notice any significant difference. I do think that the turbo is spooling up a little higher in the rev range though... I think! Not much in it if it is :D

At least now I feel a lot safer going past the cops, it looks standard and I can turn the bugger down if need be.

Cheers

I would go Apexi N1

its really quiet when you want it to be, but produces a very clean note when you giving it some pin. That said, its not what i would call a loud exhaust at any rpm

Could be an option?

Thats the thing - until you see and hear any given muffler hooked up to the same kind of car as yours, its hard to know what you might find too loud or not loud enough.

I've been having evil thoughts about constructing some kind of solenoid activated valve that simply diverts/opens up the pipe before the resonator :D I'm sure I'm not the first to have thought of that though! Would be nice to have for the times when you really want maximum performance...

Got my twin dump pipe from these guys... The said that there twin tips have same flow as there cannon and look at there power figures...

Good quality and price give them a look http://www.cesracing.com.au/products/

agreed, R spec that is one nice lookn r34.

theres always something about red cars lol.

i recommend u get the r34 gtr diffuser on the front aswell, because it sitll looks a little short in size.

and we all no the wing has to go =]

how much did the front conversion set u back? did u get it from powerplay?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
