looking for an exhust system as my first mod. i own a 95 r33 - a "s1.5". what are people's opinions on getting a trust PE II catback vs a X-force turboback. they are $899 and $950 respectively from justjap. if people could answer the following questions it'd be really helpful:

1. why is the trust system only 50 bux less than the X-force?

2. both are 3 inch so what is the performance difference between them, taking into account that 1 is a turboback

3. how durable/reliable are the 2

4. are they direct bolt on or will i (read the mechanic) hafta stuff around?

5. im looking for sound that is noticably louder than stock but no where near the "look at me, im fully sick" drones and volume levels some cars have. ie. i want it well below legal limits. which is the best fit for this?

6. i had a question six but my brain has just died so yeh...

thanks in advance.

p.s if you guys have sugestions 4 othe systems that fit my needs feel free to lemme know. pricing and where to get them would be nice

1) Trust system is only Catback.. You pay for the name

2) Trust system will be quieter

3) No idea.. althought the trust system is stainless.. so should last a while

4) Yes.. but that doesnt mean there wont be a few swear words and bloody knuckles

5) Get the Trust system (plus dump and high flow cat).. Xforce will be loud.. and pretty much every aftermarket system will be over the legal limit

6) Yer that happens sometimes.. its called a "Brain-Fart"

I've just been thinking the same thing with my exhaust.

I want something that sounds good normally, not droney and overly loud cruising, but great when I open it up.

If you do go with the Trust PE II get it from nengun, much cheaper!

I have a HKS super dragger... its a deep sound but not where near as loud as a the common cannon exhaust... but its an 8" barrel and 5" tip LOL massive bastard

if you want quiet and low profile go for the magnaflow... someone on here is currently selling a cat back... nothing special in looks but its quiet and does the job :P

The which exhaust question gets asked almost on a weekly basis. A search b4 post answers most of ur queries. Get a turboback woteva u can afford to. Here's a post from last week http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159310

So if $950 is ur budget get the X-Force turboback or buy a split dump, hi-flow cat & used catback, hav a look in For Sale section. Oval mufflers will give u a lesser flow but less noise/drone, round mufflers will give a better flow at the cost of more noise.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
