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......... :)

you did the washer nozzles thing *bows*

it's my pleasure =)

seriously at this point of time I really regret not putting anther 400-500 bucks out and getting a jap system.. it'll def get rid of the drone..

cheers

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........

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.

may i ask how much this cost you? as i am also in the market for one

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.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
