Looking for options for a Cat Back system to suit R34 - 4 Door - N/A.

Had a Fujitsubo Legalis R system ( 70mm diameter main with the twin 90mm tips ) on order through JDM Imports ( Trader ) since Nov last year but don't expect I'll ever see it ( or my $600 deposit ) so I'm now looking for other options.

So what do you have ? How much ? How loud ? Where from ?

Cheers.

P.S. Not interested in any loud / droney systems.

Would anyone know if a cat back from a R34 GT-R would fit a R34 sedan ?

Might be difficult.. Pkus a GTR cat-back it's too big for a N/A i would think... You need something smaller like 2.25 or 2.5.. There aren't many premade systems out there that offer a 2.25 or 2.5 system, you will usually have to get something custom made from an exhaust shop.. This isn't that expensive either.

I got a 2.25 cat back system from hi-tech exhausts in syd, sounds nice and doesn't drone.

Yeah, was considering a 3" Fujitsubo Legalis R for a turbo. Since they are mega quiet on a turbo I was thinking it might sound good on an N/A. :P So, what about the fitment ?

Hmmm. Was giving Hi-Tech some thought. What sort of $'s for a cat back from Hi-Tech ?

yea once again stay away from 3' cat backs..

Catback from hi-tech.. anywhere from $450-$700, how sharp are your bargaining skills? ;)

Cheers for that Nick. I don't mind Hi Tech but I prefer an "off the shelf" option if I can get it.

Has anyone got anything other than a Hi Tech or Fujitsubo to suit this set-up ?

I do NOT recommend Hi Tech Mufflers.. the guy who did it was rude, loud, unhelpful and generally talk to me like i'm a 7 year old and am really stupid..

this is the thread of the story

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...142090&st=0

Recently I had to adjust my exhaust beacuse it was rattling against something under the car, and I did not go to high tech to get it fixed, I rather pay another exhaust shop to do it.

Up to this day, I haven't checked whether the other resonator is stainless steel, I was thinking if it's not.. I'll use it for a year then get it changed..

cheers

Oh man, I totally forgot about this episode with you & Hi Tech !!

I think I'm just going to have to re-save the $'s and buy an off the shelf system.

Cheers for the reminder :(

are you looking for a budget upgrade for power? or something that sounds good?

i'm about to throw a standard GTR exhaust onto my NA, it's 2.5" and lines up exactly. giggidy

Looking for something that flows better so the revs above 4K actually have a reason to exist :D and of course, I need some sort of sound other than hissing ;)

Interesting thought though........ I wonder how much better ( if any ) a factory R34 GTT sedan zorst would be compared to what I have atm......... :)

not sure about the exhaust sizing in the r34s, but in the r32/r33's the turbo variants have a slightly larger exhaust.

i'd not expect them to extract every last kilowatt from your setup, but bang for buck wise - they'd be a cheap and reasonably more than enough upgrade. considering you can pick up a stock exhaust for next to nothing.

So, from now on I'll be known as "The Washer Nozzle Guy" ?!?! :D

Yeah I've decided to give away the whole idea of getting a system made up. Going to go back to looking at bolt-up systems. :mad: I've never had a really bad boltup system :(

That will be the fall-back plan then ! Got a few other options to try first. Cheers.

If anyone's interested, here's the one I'm getting........

http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?u=http%3...ies&ie=UTF8

Our friends at Nengun have been kind enough to recently put this item on their list of exhaust systems available for purchase but I have already got the ball rolling with our other good friends at JustJap who are getting it for me :D

And just for the sake of sharing info, for those looking for a Cat-Back system, here's the range from Kakimoto.

Enjoy ! :laugh:

I've been looking for an exhaust for a V35 Coupe, and came across the HKS Hi Power Ti. Absouletly awesome sound. I suspect it will be quite different on an RB compared to a VQ, but if the same basic sound is there go for it. It's got this awesome high pitched growl that you'd expect from a supercar.

Jump on You Tube and type in G35 Coupe HKS Exhaust, you'll get a few recording of yanks jumping on the loud pedal.

Haven't checked but I think I heard HKS may have sound files on their website.

Getting the Fujitsubo Legalis R stainless cat-back one with the 70mm main pipe and twin 90mm tips so it looks nice and standard :pirate:

For sure, I'll let you know when I've got it and fitted it so you can have a listen ! I don't expect it's going to be anything noticeable since Fujitsubo are without a doubt, the quietest systems available.

Here's the dB stats on the Fuji system:

At idle: Stock 63 dB - Fuji 57 dB

3000rpm: Stock 75 dB - Fuji 79 dB

5000rpm: Stock 82 dB - Fuji 84 dB

Approach exhaust noise at 4500rpm: Stock 80dB - Fuji 84 dB

The Kakimoto ones are the ones to get if you want a growling exhaust note & a cannon tip. Kaki's sound MEGA tough on N/A's but I just want some top end flow, but I don't want attention :happy:

DVS R34, expect to pay around $1,000 + for any of these top shelf N/A systems. Worth every cent IMO !! :wub:

Now I just have to wait for 6 weeks :)

hmm... would be keen to see how it sounds.

for some reason twin cam NA's seem to be quite difficult to find a suitable not too loud, but not too quiet type exhaust.

6 weeks is a long wait... i'll be keen for a sound file or video.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
