mufflers are for girls lol. Nice exhaust Nisskid, wish I'd thought of putting an angle on mine when I got my mate to do it. Btw how can you drive that on the street without scraping it off / attracting much attention!?

lol, well since its near the rear wheels its not a problem unless my wheels go each side of an object, and the object goes down the middle of the car. as far as attention, well, lol, being an RB20 its not obnoxiously loud, its a very smooth sound, i also run a ECV with it, which helps to an extent. usually i run my JunBL exhaust for the street though, which as i mentioned used to have flutes, but have been grinded off and will be replaced with twin 3" pipes, should be a bit quiter, as to be honest, for a street exhaust its quite loud.

i have been pulled over before with the straight through 3" tho, was an interesting conversation, luckily i was already on defect and had clearance to drive it, so technically there was nothing they could do.

i think his words were something like, "does this even have a muffler, wait.. does this even have a cat?" :D

haha i think ive got a bigger one somewhere, ill get some pics up of my new track exhaust once ive completed it, as i mentioned it will be using cut up versions of the flutes off my street system, it will be straight 3" piping from the dump, split into 2x 3", then the flutes go from 3" to 4"

personally i dont think it will look as good as straight pipes, but it will give a bit more volume, and on the track, especially in battles u want as much as u can get. nothing worse than not hearing ur engine over the guys next to u.

ahh sweet as... im doing mine for track too, gonna keep the cannon on for street as its fairly quiet and does the job fine. was thinking of getting a screamer made up for track too but its gonna be a pain in the ass having to change it over every time i head out.

you getting yours made up out of mild steel or s/s?

I was thinking along the lines of speed humps etc!

Haha yeah I did get defected for having a straight pipe once but the cop decided my blow off valve was more important, which is incidentally why you can see a flange after the bend on the pic I posted, so i can swap a Super Dragger muffler in for RWC.

I've decided now that I'll just get a whole legal exhaust though for RWC, rather than keep chopping and changing bits all the time!

race cats ftw too!

meh, nothing wrong with the screamer for street, just dont drive hard around suburbs. i run mine on the street, i also have a little attachment which i can put in that plumbs back the screamer which i use for regency, so i dont have to swap over the whole dump.

the exhaust im making will be out of a mixture of high grade s/s and lower grade s/s.

i dont really go over many speed bumps lol, i know where they are usually and avoid them at all costs. but because the lowest point is under the rear wheels its fine. the rest of the exhaust if anything is higher than a standard system as it doesnt have any mufflers.

ahh fair enough, yeah I had to get both my mufflers removed for RWC because they sat too low, but then the exhaust was too loud (gotta love NSW and the annual RWC checks). My whle exhaust, which used to be a Fujitsubo before being butchered, sits barely 100mm off the ground! I don't get scraping at all though, which is why I never have put my coilovers to their lowest setting.

I've emailed Exhaust Technologies about the flutes though, otherwise I'd probably go twin 2.5" on an angle, cause straight pipe looks shite!

Dude go to twin 3" on the angle. I wanted twin 2.5 after seeing nisskids single pipe pics awhile back and thinking that twin 3" would be too much. I thought about it for awhile then decided to put my balls back in and get twin 3" anyway - now im glad I did cause they dont look that big once on :)

yeh twin 3" is alright, personally id rather for 2x 2.5" for the street, but ive got about 4-5 meters of 3" stainless here and no 2.5" so choice is pretty clear lol. but i think the 3" will look better, just stick out a bit more for the boys in blue.

btw u got pics of the twin 3"? is it straight or angle cut? was thinking about a tiny angle cut on the edge.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
