Anyone got a 90db high flowing exhaust???

Yes i got hks super dragger2 on mine... I got done by epa and i managed to get away with fitting a hi flo cat (i know i know but anyways), a highflow middle muffler and removing the hot dog stlye thats comes standard in the system, my car tested by epa came in at 82.3dbs which is from what they said very good.. The shop i used liverpool exhuast said that the hot dog stlye muffler is only there to increase noise emitted so changing that worked on mine.. But still to the day some coppers dont believe me that it passed epa with the super dragger rear cannon as any1 who has seen them knows they are very large :D look good on the ass off a 33 i think..

I recently switched from a cannon (no name -came with the car) to a Kakimoto Racing. Still flows well but it is much quieter. Has a very throaty sound. My motivation was to get rid of the drone. Never tested the loudness with a db meter.

You know it is JDM when the english translation on it is "Kakimoto Racing Produce"

When a copper pulls you over - show them the paperwork and that will shut him up.

Actually all that will show is that at the time of fitting the exhaust complied, anything could have changed since so they are still well within their right to defect you.

If you want a quiet exhaust get an Australian custom made exhaust rather than an off the shelf Jap exhaust.

I got done for "no cover on intercooler" Pod filter, exhaust too loud (He was a bit iffy, he was listening to it, and was like yeah, then he looked and he's like "nah, too big, it'll be too loud"

But he's like "You passed the attitude test, just get it all legal and you'll be sweet, heres the defect notice, but no fines or anything"

I just answered everything honestly.

And I think the only reason he asked me to open the bonnet was because I was missing two wheel nuts. He wasn't interested in anything other then a random breath test until the other officer noticed them missing... :P Ah well, that's all fixed now, just to get exhaust and what not done...

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
