A resonator won't affect power much at all really, so long as you get one in the same size as your exhaust (3" for example).

I just had a small straight through (very slight offset) 3" muffler (about 20cm or 8" long with a side expansion chamber) thrown on my R32 and I haven't noticed any power difference. It's massively quieter now, no drone and I can drive it harder now without the po-po looking out their office window everytime I gun it = more fun.

All for the good price of $130 including raising the centre section of my exhaust which hung low, and replacing some hangers/rubbers.

Theoretically a little bit, but neglible in your case. Resonators just change/shift the sound of your exhaust system (natural resonance due to size and shape of exhaust system) to another frequency. Some times much quieter, or sometimes making it sound like a hyundi excel with a 6" paint tin stuck on the back

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
