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

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
