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.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
