Hey Guys,

Finally got them fitted, only 4 weeks sitting in my garage.

And first impressions are they are Great. A real noticable increase in power in the mid range.

Got it dynoed before and after. it gets a nice increase in the mid range and only about .3 of an increase in peak power, but I wasnt expecting an increase at all.

They improve the sound of the engine (imo) dont have a zorst tho, (thats the next step) and then it should sound sweet.

here are some pics of them fitted, (cant really see much), and the dyno graph. Does anyone have a set of the cobys and a before/after dyno?

i brought some DKNE extractors and they are great.

lol you guys are lazy as, im 17 and took my engine out in 6 hours the other day, mechanic Lee at maitland reboared the engine by 1mm (credit to this guy he does heaps of skyline reconditions all year and knows his stuff :thumbsup: ) brought my oversized pistons, and all my other bits like bearings and valves and pumps, clutch etc .... and put the extractors on myself and noticed a design problem .... the o2sensor is only able to read 3 of the stalks on the extractors ( can be seen in the picture ) so my uncle plugged up the original place for the o2sensor and made a new on further down and it reads SOOOOOOOO much better. thats all i could find wrong with them they are worth the $420 and make a nice sound, so im happy :ermm:

my cars had about $4000 on it and im getting a dyno run soonish

WOW Andy, thats effing impressive man...please post your dyno sheets up!! :thumbsup:

Have you notified DKNE of the 02 Sensor problem?

We're not lazy, we're just waiting for more problem such as the one you mentioned to come up. Nothings worse than 10 or more people receiving extractors only to find that they have to spend extra dough for them to be operational. (No, you hit the nail on the head - We are lazy.) haha

cheers shane,

yeah the 5th cylinder was scored something fierce (my uncle reckons something fell down in there when they were doing a spark plug change or something.) the injectors in my top end are very fragile at the moment (plastic is weak) so i have found many top end problems but the bottom end is out of the way and no more engine cranes :banana:I think there is a well known place in Tuggerah a lot of people use because i need a 4wd dyno. Ill have the dyno runs up in 3 weeks because im busy for the next 3 weeks and spending a lot on "other tests" ..... with my Ms's

the thing is all company's do this because its convenient for the customer because they can just stick the o2 sensor straight on Coby do this too, Note* you have to re wire the o2 sensor. Its worth it because all you have to do is go to Supercheap and buy the wire and take off the short wire and re wire it to length.

My uncle knew they were going to be likes this because he knows someone with a XR6 ute that had to do the same problems because after 2 min of driving the ecu would be confused with the wrong information from the o2sensor

Turn this thread into a Coby Vs DKNE Thread by posting up some characteristics of the two everyone!

Hey guys,

Been running around now for a few weeks and havnt really missed a beat.

The first tank of fuel after getting them fitted I noticed I lost a bit of fuel ecconomy, but I not sure if it was just due to the fact the car was running at a higher fuel mix ration (seen on my dyno) or because I loved the sound my engine was making and reved it all the way out for the next few days.

I reset the ecu (disconected the battery) drove it around for a while, and now it seems to be back on the beat. I think the ecu has learnt that its only reading half of the exhaust gases and is now giving a better air/fuel mix.

Today, I also got the rest of my exhaust system fitted up. Just a custom at a local exhaust shop. 2.5inch mandrell bend from the cat back, straight into a sports muffler, with twin chrom tips out the end to keep the stock look. But boy does it sound great. havnt taken it on the highway yet, but I dont get much of a drone, sounds great revving up, and settles down at crusing speed. so now I have a full exhaust system, dkne extractors - 2.5" piping - cat - 2.5 inch piping - sports muffler. so far, im pretty please with the results.

Now I just need to get my car fine tuned for the new set up.

Hey Eug, do you know anywhere in bris that can tune the 34 ecu's ?? I know they cant do much, but just a small adjustment to get my 34 running at its best.

try dr drift. he really popular.

i wnna get these extractors. but no money!!!

probably get the xforce 2.5 inch cat from just jap soon.

Andy, dyno graphs yet!?

I have a cheap X-force for sale in Syd..

Clicky linky in sig..

This is quite a bit cheaper than their current listed price http://www.dkne.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=415

With this in mind, are you guys still up for a group buy?

I'm kinda lucky I bit the bullet and went in first.

DKNE done me a faily decent deal. I got the extractors, HPC coating, con pipe, cat replacment pipe (rrp $88) and postage all for $675.

They are really well made tho and worth the money in the long run. Ive got much better response and more power in my mid range.

The exhaust guy also mentioned they are pretty decent and really well made.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
