Use of the car?

Setup is pretty sound. Head will need a little bit of a tidy up.

3.5" at a bare minimum for the exhaust, preferable 4" for the flow

you might need a set of coil packs depending on the condition of the ones you have now also

The main use will be street with some track time.

Exhaust is a problem as my 3' is already 94Db and max in Vic is 90... so I cant go any larger.

Coil packs are Splitfire and HKS twin power CDI

What are people thoughts about going larger cam ie: tomei Procams 270, Lift 10.25mm IN and OUT

Edited by greggtr

Yeah you can, im 92dB, 3.5", recently passed with under 90 :blush:

So it can be done.

If your so worried about legalites with exhaust noise, id be more worried with every other single part on your car thats beyond legal and stands out like dogs balls

just because the exhaust is big doesent mean it has to be loud it all comes down to the mufflers you use. make it nice and quiet for the street. then you can get a straight peice of pipe made up to bolt on from the cat back with no mufflers for on the track.

you could make a cool pipe to exit out the side behind the door.

full noise! :blush:

regarding revs with the tomei spec B spring kit etc.. the redline will be 9000rpm

With other "non-legal" things on the car... well unless the Police crack open my engine, they can not tell thats its modified, externally with the exeption of the exhaust tip my car looks stock... and not a cop magnet... thats why I want to stay away from LOUD exhausts... My exhaust is a jap brand.. but the problem is all the exhaust shop will not guarantee that a 3.5 or 4" exhaust will be under or around 90db.. and to throw out $1000 I would rather look at it as a last resort...

Cams

Injectors

ECU

AFM

Pod/Intercooler

And thats just the beginning of what they can visually pick out in less than 1min. EPA are not stupid, nor are the cops these days

If you are going to worry about noise, but not the rest of the easy-to-defect items then you have your wires crossed

I dont really want to change this thread into a "Street legal " conversation, but the tomei poncams are mild, and unless they are experts they can not tell they have been changed... injectors are mounted on a machines standard fuel rail and are black, so again they can not tell... ECU, well unless they start pulling my car apart they can not tell again... AFM are stock NISSAN z32's and unless they know part numbers they cannot tell the difference. Pods are mounted in a Air box hence legal, intercooler is not huge and can be passed as standard and changing an intercooler is not ilegal

Willt GT2560Rs will come anywhere near 400awkw? They're smaller than the GT-SS'.

my 2560's are -10 and are rated at (400hp each)

there are -5 (320hp) and -7 (350hp), most people have the -5 as a standard upgrade over the stockies and they can do low-mid 300kw@4W... So I figure the -10's "should" hit 400

Cant find 2560-10's on the garrett site,

I could only find 2560-9's 4's and 1's,

and the 2560-9s are smaller than the 2860-5s, which when pushed may reach 400rwkw. But yours may be running larger wheels or something, dont know.

If i was chasing over 400+rwks, id be looking at the 2860RS disco potatoes.

But your list of mods looks pretty solid, similar set ups on the rb26 dyno thread are making around 350kw.

Let us know how she goes when shes put together.

hey champ a mate of mine own a performancce shop n knows his shit when it comes to rb engines.He did a r34 gtr with simple mods like boost controller 3.5inch exhaust power fc injectors fuel pump cam gears garret 2560-5 turbos with 17pounds of boost and made 370awkws so i think maybe it could be done easily with abit more boost n maybe cams n a few minor extras but this car is very responsive hits full boost at 3500rpm n is n animal so it just depends on who you talk to.This is the set up im lookin at for mine but im also gonna fit a tomei oil pump to protect it abit more. a mate also making 360 awkw with very similar mods so it shouldnt be to hard to get the desired power out of your car

Whatever you reckon mate. Your wrong in so many ways im not going to bother.

3" exhaust is a choker, and being worried about noise is silly and you need a better exhaust shop if its that loud

hang on, so he needs a better exh shop if they cant guarentee a 3.5" will pass a noise test but you had to come on here looking for ways of getting yours quieter? hints to me maybe you also need to find a better exh shop or stop telling people its so easy

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
