Dont forget that mnay of the titanium exhausts only run one muffler where others run two. So one less muffler also helps....and the few single muffler tiutamium exhausts i have heard sound great...but my god they are loud. With speed events typically havign to still be under a certain db reading....you could find yourself even getting kicked off race tracks. Duncan and SK need not worry as State rounds are typically no noice days...but us club guys? Expecially in Vic last year where i got several warning that saw me driving around off boost just gettign my eye in for a single session where i gave it hell :D

why don't they make exhausts with the V-band type flanges now? trust did make one before like that, and it's awesome. easy to fit/remove. seals well, no pesky leaks. I guess cost is the only downside, but it's not like you are going to have 10 bloody V-bands.

Maybe check here:

They are supposedly all good to the JASMA standards. Click the Nissan button & have a look at the pdf. My kanji is compelte rubbish so the columns may mean anything. :D

Yup... They're all 5.0 - 5.1kgs for the cat-back for the PE Ti-R and 6.7 - 7.1kgs for the PE Ti cat-back for GTRs.

Roy, What "speed events" are you talking about exactly?

Surely there wouldn't be any noise restrictions on private track hire days and private practice days? I just ordered a "bloody loud" Amuse Titan R1 exhaust which I fear will be very loud, and I don't want to run the car with a silencer :)

Brand and specs on this one? Titanium cat backs are very light, but not THAT light.... 5.x kgs seems to be the norm from what I've seen.

specs unsure of..bought of the forums..it does not have 2 mufflers its straight through into 4ich cannon.he said it was 3.1kg and well it felt light so i didnt even bother checking...2kg who gives a rats anyway...

sounds wicked thats alli cared about

deal Gary, what size do you want, and how long?

Andrew - yes there are noise limits at some tracks on some days. All NSW circuits have permanent noise meters but they often are not manned. The hillclimb tracks often have a noise meter, it depends on the neighbours (for instance MG Car Club at Ringwood and King Edward Park). They normally specify max noise at 30+ meters away from the track - when you think about v8 sports sedans and supercars being legal most skylines are OK with a big turbo in the middle of the exhaust quieting it down

I have a 900 mm Trust Ti cat back on the R32GTST and it is almost 20 kgs lighter than the 3.25" Nismo cat back that it replaced, which is now on the Stagea. I have been looking (albeit not very hard) for a source so that I can make the cat forward section out of Ti as well. So Duncan, you find some Ti and I'll get it welded.

Cheers

Gary

thats one big system....900mm....zero backpressure with that puppy!

deal Gary, what size do you want, and how long?

Is this an actress and bishop joke? :blink:

Obviously I would like 90 mm to match the back half. Length is tricky, 1m would be enough to do back to the joint where the wastegate pipe joins the turbine pipe. If I go any further than that (closer to the turbo) I would need 2 sizes, 75 mm and 50 mm. Plus it would need a lobster back welding job for the bends, which is very time consuming. To do the lot would require about 1 m of 90 mm, 1 m of 75 mm and 1 m of 50 mm to cover it.

Cheers

Gary

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
