Niiice... do you know where you can get a Legalis R cat-back system? They're 3 inch and fully stainless aren't they? The best I've been able to find is an exhaust shop that has done several stageas apparently, who said a stainless custom system would be around $850 + cost of exhaust tip(s) ($80 +). That in 3" stainless.

Edit: OOPS mis-read - you can only get that system for M35 :)

Perhaps give Henry @ RMS (http://www.rmsmotorparts.com.au) a call (03) 9872 6669.

Really nice guy and his prices are really, really good.

If there is something similar for an S2, he will find it (he is the only one who knew of & found my front pipe).

Got cat-back done the other day... I fitted a stainless 3" split front/dump with my hi-flow turbo and 5" body 3" flanged hi-flow cat' myself, and it wouldn't *quite* line up with the stock cat-back (flange angled a little too low on the cat) but with a bunch of gaskets, one bolt, and some forcing I was able to make it hold just enough for a risky drive to the exhaust shop... Exhaust Technologies was the only place I could get it done in time; they did it within the week :ninja: full 3" mandrel-bent mild system with stainless magnaflow ovals mid and rear. Sounds bloody drony, and a bit loud perhaps... but bloody awesome :banana: Will post pics/video. System doesn't hang too low ('cept for the cat'), and the stainless twin tips they installed to match the originals really look awesome - long, so that you can't see the muffler from the rear. Clever that.

Just installed a custom 3" split dump/front pipe with metal cat by Liverpool exhaust for M35 AR-X. The result is very noticeable with more torque and quicker response than stock. Turbo spooling is also very audible as well, perhaps a bit too loud for my liking, but the gain is well worth it.

I still have the stock cat-back as well.

I had exactly the same experience with C34 re: louder turbo spool. But I agree, increased power & marginally better fuel economy means I'll put up with it :P

better fuel ????

i was goun 450-500 without the exhaust.

now lucky to see 410 .... !!!

Lol yeah I was just hoping for a little better consumption at cruise. But if I take advantage of the extra power then I have to expect worse consumption... so far consumption is worse :P But hoping if I go on some long trips it will show improvement. Spend most of my time driving in limp-mode anyway with the transmission stuck in 3rd gear 'cause of my (* ignition circuit problem (cuts out or shorts or something randomly). When/if I ever fix that it might improve.

Im looking at a 3" turbo back system for my s1.

Am thinking of going down the lines of a just jap bellmouth stainless front/dump and hopefully this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Skyline-cat-back-ex...A1%7C240%3A1318

I have just bought a pair of brand new clear side indicators c/w new amber bulbs straight plug in job for NZ$39 the pair from here:

If you sign up to Trade Me (it is possible from Aus) you could buy direct or otherwise I could get some for anyone interested. But the relevance to this thread is that he also stocks a range of exhaust tips (steel, not stainless) from about $75. If you look on his entry above and click on "seller's other listings" you can see the tips but not shown are a number of twin tips (a range of single entry sizes including 3in) coming out of one muffler - cost about $150.00. I just got in today before he closed for Xmas and i don't know when he will open but when he does i will go in and take a few pics and post them up.

If you want here is an HKS Stagea specific muffler: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-194346844.htm

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
