R35 Gtr - Dual Exhaust Myth & Spotted Cool Features


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Just remember someone saying how it would be expensive to modify the GTR and one of the reasons was it had dual exhausts so would cost twice as much. Basically what im getting at is the illusion that it comes with dual exhausts like a 300zx, looking at the below pic you can see that it goes to a single pipe halfway along and splits again at a T piece near the rear, so its not a true dual exhaust.

This surprised me as I thought they would go a full performance dual exhaust being the performance/supercar car it was built to be, but instead it looks its small and restrictive and not what you'd expect to see on a turbo'd car. Its obviously good / flows enough though for the power it puts out. Anyone else have these thoughts?

PS..Does anyone actually know where it states what type of exhaust it is....diameter (2.5"??), material (titanium??), press bent or mandrel...etc??

Edited by R31 Gagz

when its not mandrel bent there are areas inside the pipe where the air doesn't flow smoothly, and can cause restriction.

afaik the exhaust isn't titanium, which a lot of people have commented on... and are expecting aftermarket companies to come out with full titanium exhausts to drop the weight of the GT-R a little.

Didn't notice the 2 to 1 to 2 layout of the exhaust... maybe we might see straight twin pipe exhaust systems pretty soon... or maybe the underbody layout doesn't allow for seperate pipes? Nissan did say they put a lot of effort into making sure the car was highly aerodynamic.

Thinking something like this:

Keep in mind Nissan would have done its best to cut down on emissions to meet Japan and the US's laws.

I thought it was mentioned somewhere that on the options list will be a titanium exhaust, reducing the weight by 10-15kg.

Most likely will be standard on the "V-spec" and up...

i think this was on the edmunds site

man, soooo many cool things still to come from this car. JGTC, V-spec and more hardcore versions, Nismo versions, tuning house versions (Mines), all the aftermarket goodies... exciting times :P

EDIT: tread pattern on those tyres are really interesting...

looks like the exhaust is the easiest way to gain another 30-40kw? :P

I would bet my money on a "chip" or ECU reprograming to be most cost-effective performance gain for the new GTR. Look at two other modern twin turbo 6 engines; 997 Turbo gets an extra 50-55kw from a software and a Chiptorque piggyback can give a BMW 335i an extra 35kw at the wheels!

Whats the secret? You know it. BOOST, FUEL and TIMING. Changing exhaust on these cars do help but not as much as a software.

Remember this GTR was built without "the gentlemens agreement" in mind. I would expect the factory exhaust to be quite free flowing but relatively muted in sound.

353kw isnt much power at all.... looks like the exhaust is the easiest way to gain another 30-40kw? :down:

I wouldn't say its not much power at all except in comparison to some very high power cars. I guess that system is good enough for current power but when you want to get serious power, an exhaust upgrade is definitely on the mod shopping list :) If I ever had enough money to get an R35 I would probably upgrade it anyway and maybe the air intakes depending on how good the stock ones are just so it could breathe easier, free up a few kws.

Cheers!

this one is nose heavy anyway- the balance is reported to be 58:42

That has to be a typo. Even the average FWD Avagnary has a better weight distriution than that.

I'm thinking more like 48:52. Surely the Nissan engineers couldn't get the weight distribution so horribly wrong. It would handle worse than a 265 Centura.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
