Is this the hitech you used? I want to get this exhaust happening on my gtr as well, very impressed.

Nah, i dont think thats them. Im pretty sure theyre in Bathurst. Same name though; maybe it is them, but they just have their factory in Bathurst. My exhaust guy is away, so i camt find out atm.

Shaun.

No i dont. Im hopeless with computers too, so i doubt i could figure it out. Maybe i could take a vid of it with my digital camera, and upload it somewhere. Im just hopeless with converting files etc; i dont understand that at all.

Ok, ill check for you as soon as i can.

If you want to check the exhaust out, im sure we could arrange something (if your in or around Sydney that is). Im in Gosford.

Ill still check for you, but im sure the Hi Tech in Sydney and Bathurst would be the same company.

Shaun.

I gave them a ring and there factory is in bathurst, s i think they are the same place. If you can check some time it would be greatly appreciated as im going to do the same setup as your car.

No worries. Ive got the diff out of the car at the moment, so the exhaust is on the bench. If you need exact measurements of the centre muffler let me know. Ill be putting it back in on thursday.

Shaun.

Oh no rush man i dont plan on doing it tomorrow or anything, also im in adelaide but thanks for the offer :P
Hi Shaun, pics and dimensions my way would be brilliant also mate.

Ok, Ill have them to you by the end of the week.

Im pretty sure i mentioned that the wastegate was venting to atmosphere when i had the car tuned. I dont think it would make any difference if it was plumbed back in though. Ive since made another front pipe that plumbs the screemer in, and ill put that on this week.

Sirracer and GTR1993, ill just post the info here rather than send seperate PM's.

The dimensions of the Hi Tech made centre muffler are: 305mm long x 220mm wide x 150mm thick. As you can see from the photos, the design is centre in and offset out with perforated tube through the middle. The offset is towards the passenger side of the car.

The specs and product code of the rear magnaflow muffler are in my first post.

I dont think there is any more you should need to know to order the same custom muffler from hightech, but dont hesitate to ask if there is.

These are old photos, so i can take some new ones tomorrow when my exhaust is on if you like.

Shaun.

*****EDIT***** Make that offset in/ centre out in design, with the offset towards the drivers side of the car. Sorry; i had it around the wrong way!

Ill take some more photos tomorrow so you can see if there is more room around the mufflers if you want to go bigger. With the way the US dollar is at the moment, maybe Magnaflow wouldnt be the most cost effective option. I think mine was about $330 (exact price is in first post), but that was when the dollar was about 0.94. It might be worth getting two custom mufflers made from Hightech. There is heaps of room around the rear muffler.

I actually bought 2 magnaflow mufflers the other day (the center muffler im using center in center out) and they were $310 each! Im going to try this if its no good ill get the custom one, but i had the car int he air and should fit fine.

Thats a good price for the two mufflers. Were they the same as my rear one?

Im no expert, but i think you might find that its a bit loud, as the centre offset muffler gives really good noise supression. Ive run my car without the rear muffler (with only the centre custom job in), and it wasnt that much louder than with the complete exhaust on, which i found suprising. If youve still got twin turbos it may not be too bad though.

Anyway, you'll be able to sell the muffler for a good price if you find that you dont need it.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
