hey Everyone, i have good news too... i got my cat-back muffler today! YAY! :D

its a Autotecnica one, i hope i dident buy a crap one! it was $199

im going to get 2 and a 1/2 inch piping... does anyone know how much it will cost for 2.5" piping + install on that and the muffler?

also is there a good place on the GC to get it done?

one other question... im thinking about purchusing something from nengun... do his prices where it says (inc shipping) cover import tax on products? if not, how much is import tax?

thanks for any help, bye all :burnout:

PS: Good stuff greg... enjoy :uh-huh::D:alcoholic:D

for my sister's bf to get 2.25" piping from the cat back, new muffler and a hotdog style resonator it cost him a bit over $400. That was using dodgy mild steel though....

Make sure you get some sort of resonator otherwise it will drone like one of those dodgy lancers you see going around.

let us know how u go :D

I got my cat back stainless steel 2.25" zorst put in in syd, mandrel bent n all, hi flow cat, black box (or sumthing like that) resonator, magnaflow muffler (the oval one with a 3" end) fitted for $900 in syd at Tuffy Mufflers. And yeah you can definitely feel a bigger punch now.

The reason I got it was my old 2.25" mild steel system had ROTTED on the inside and chunks had gone thru the the muffler and up to the cat, resulting in a destroyed muffler and a hollow cat lol.

It def pulls much better now, and seems to be a bit more torquey at lower revs, dunno bout higher revs tho.

I've kept the 2.25" extractors, coz there was nuffin worng with them and they didn't suffer from rot because they were stainless steel. mmm Fujitsubo extractors!

Hmmmmm this thread is a bit dead!

Ok i have a question 4 every1

How do u ppl go wen draging other cars? do u win or lose?

(not that any1 illeagally street races or anything but lets pretend)

Being n/a and all id expect it be hard 2 win how bout against commonwhores?

thanx:D

have you guys ever thought about turboing your non-turbo motors.... it really is cheap and majorly efficient... all you need is the factory turbo... oil lines/water lines(to the turbo) manifold and intercooler... and turbo computer and injectors....

my mate had a non-turbo r32 that he got CHEAP... and then he bought an blown up turbo motor for two hundred dollars... it was a complete motor that had internal damage.... he swapped all the turbo bits onto the non-turbo and it runs like a champ...

it has all the factory oil feeds and water feeds already in the block... just pull the bungs out and put the lines in place... and this skyline has been at dorift events in brisbane, drag raced and just generally abused without a single hiccup.... we just keep in with standard boost and it runs all day with no pinging or anything...

after the success of that build we Na to turboed my silvia... and it is a little rocket... it owes me about $700 for the conversion but is no where near as simple as the RB to turbo conversions..... you have to make custom oil lines and water lines... and is generally a little bit of a headache... although after doing one I could do another one in a day...

just if you have a Non turbo Skyline... and just want boost... not a monster... just a standard turbo'd skyline consider this an option it really works... we have the cars to prove it....

just go to the wastelands, to squizzmobiles III and ask any of those guys... there are some cool toys cruising around Centeral Queensland and most of them aren't as convensional as down south... we don't have access to loads of performance shops and if we do they are to dear... so we build our own toys....

sometimes you just have to think outside the box... and don't let anyone tell you it isn't possible.....

ps the fun part is when everyone checks out your NA silvia Q and then get annilated at the lights...

due to extra compression in the motor... with standard boost the NA converted turbo motor is a touch quicker than genuine turbo motor...

in our hot dry land.... we had too skylines on the dyno....

one converted and one standard....

the standard 32 RB20DET made 162 Hp at the wheels...

the conversion RB20DE+ made 185 Hp at the wheels...

same day same fuel and both useing standard parts....

interesting eh??

hey digsy_20, mate i would love to do a turbo conversion and just run standard boost. only problems is that it costs too much. plus i don't know how to do any of that myself so it would cost a fair bit for labour. i'm thinking it would cost like $2,500 all up parts and labour. it'll be easier for me to sell and buy a T.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
