There are not many systems available for the sedans and most people have gone for a custom built one ( with mixed results ).

I did a lot of searching and as far as I know, the only companies that make off the shelf, direct bolt-on systems for the N/A R34 sedans are Kakimoto & Fujitsubo.

I'm getting one of these ( I hope )

Oh and as far as prices go, start from ~$700 for a custom built one to ~$1,200 for a Fujitsubo one.

And the question of stainless vs. mild steel comes down to your requirements and budget. Mild steel usually gives a better ( deeper ) tone than stainless but will rust over time where stainless will not rust and sound a bit more tinny. It comes down to choice.

And for the last Q, a cannon "is" a form of muffler but is designed primarily for flow with minimal restrictions. It's usually louder than a traditional muffler.

The science of exhaust systems is very precise but depends highly on what "you" want. Best thing to do is look and listen to what other's have and then when you find something you like, get the same. :)

yeah Im having trouble looking for parts for sedans.. most of em' are for 2Dr.

I was able to find one yesterday for an exhaust system and its made by XForce.. its a Catback exhaust sys. full stainless and I was quoted $1300 thats with the cannon. and $480 for mild steel with muffler. Thats a huge difference from mild steel to stainless steel.

Is XForce any good? :)

atm im starting to save up for my mods...

thanks for your help bro.. very informative :)

Firstly, I don't know much about X-Force stuff but I was almost certain that they don't make a cat-back to suit an "N/A" R34 sedan ! Might want to double check that it's not a "turbo" R34 sedan system..... You don't want a turbo system on an N/A. WAY too loud :(

Who you getting your info & prices through ?

I looked up the Xforce website and they gave me a number of one of the retailers and rang them. they told me that xforce has a stock for the R34 sedan.. im pretty sure that its for non turbo coz i mentioned to them its for a non turbo. :)

still hasnt arrived scott?

:)

I better get it soon or I'm going to go :closedeyes:

yeah saw the jdm imports thread... major bummer.

was hoping you'd get it soon - i like the stockish twin pipe look. was very keen to see how it sounded/performed.

I'm sure I'll get it soon. The guys at Just Jap know that I'm hanging out BIG TIME to get my hands on this exhaust !! ( and they know why )

As for JDM Imports..... Unless Charles & Steve undo the damage they've caused "real fast", they can expect to spend the rest of their days looking over their shoulders !! They've made a few enemies and people don't forget those who've screwed them !

nice work...

any details on the exhaust from justjap? as far as i know the legalis r only comes twin pipe for the 34 sedan. any idea for a 33 coupe?

the db readings vs. power readings really take my fancy. 84db is perfect!

What details do you need ?

For your car the only ones I found are:

From Fujitsubo.

From Kakimoto.

post-2420-1177460783.gif

I bet the Kakimoto one would sound tuff as ! :rolleyes:

ohh just wondering how much from just jap? and when is their expected delivery? etc etc...

Yeah I didn't find what I liked from fujitsubo nor kakimoto... i like my stock gtr twin pipe stock look, and quite liked the legalis r on the sedan.

wonder if the muffler is the same measurements from coupe to sedan (vice versa) and only differs in the length of the pipe from the cat to the muffler?

a big risk to buy... the hunt continues.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
