Just wanted to see if this gets any interest but yeah

Im wanting a exhaust done these holidays but $ supply is getting limited

Do exhaust shops do discounts if you bring in a group of customers???

Im getting 2.5inch straight through mandrel bent mild steel, with Xforce LP02 Cannon on the end with a resonator.. :D

Anyone else looking at getting custom exhaust done?

any good reccomended places in Melbourne S.E suburbs

beau, may i suggest you get some more details next time before you start a thread like this. there are quite a few missing details in regards to gaining interest.

finding a place that's willing to supply.

what exactly will be included in the group buy (cat back? cannon only? muffler?)

will everyone be required to buy the same setup?

photos?

recommended retail price?

special group buy price? how many required?

is the supplier willing to ship interstate? are you willing to ship interstate?

most importantly. are you willing to co-ordinate this buy?

just some food for thought.

Oh soz i didnt really mean like a co-ordinated group buy i meant something along liones of just local people on SAU going in exhuast getting what they want and if we bring in enough people we get $$ off if that makes sense.... eg..like if we get 4 people from SAU wanting exhaust done we get like $100 off or something along the lines of that...

but yeah i didnt state that clearly enough in first post.

well it seems something more specialized for local buyers only. seeing as you live in melbourne, it won't do much good for us up here in QLD or NSW.

there will still need to be some form of co-ordinating/organization involved. you will need to call an exhaust shop and make the agreement with them then you will somehow need to confirm the amount of buyers you promise in order to qualify for the discount.

no shop of any kind will honor a discount on the promise that X amount of patrons will buy their products, without seeing some money or without seeing some form of official/company backing.

i don't think you fully understand what's involved in co-ordinating a buy on a large scale. call a place up and find out, who knows.

you will have better luck having this thread in the Victorian part of the forum, would you like me to move it there? as it really doesn't belong here.

happy new year

Hi mate,

If you want to get it done cheaply just call around a few exhaust places, tell them what you want done, and ask for their best price, paying cash. Let them know you are looking around and get them to compete for your business.

You get what you pay for though, sometimes it's worth paying the extra for a quality product

Cheers

thread locked.

do some measurements on the stock GTR exhaust of your particular model.

i run the standard R33 GTR exhaust on mine, 2.50" standard - cheap simple and effective.

its noticeably louder than stock, bolts up exactly the same and the bonus, it says NISSAN.

might need to get the insides re-packed if it's been sitting around for a while.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
