Folks,

I got a 3 inch nismo catback (bought it off someone from the forum)bolted on yesterday to go along with the 3inch catco hi flow cat I already had and didnt seem to notice a rise in the power at all. Thought the power was averaged much more smoothly across the revs range I quite didnt feel the increase in power as I had expected to. Am still running the stock dump and front pipe.

Was wondering if this was normal or was should I be seeing a noticeable gain ? Does running the stock dump have such a major role to play in this?

Cheers guys

PS anyone looking for a quiet exhaust though this is what I'd recommend. Its just a tad louder than the stocko and what exactly what I was after

it would be quite normal, it may increase spool up times, but is better noticable with the rest of the exhaust complete, keep in mind as well a highflow filter being pod or panel replacement will also help if it hasnt been done yet, Also the boost mod, you may still be running off the standard boost solenoid, its hard to say maybe help us out list what else has been done to it

Cheers

by just completing the last half of the exhaust wont actually increase the power that much

paid 600+ 50 postage to sydney from adelaide. But am now bloody pleased with its performance. Looking to finish the exhaust off with the JJR split dump soon. then its fmic, pfc and injectors, fuel pump bank balance crashing time........ :)

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
