they are both 3" systems so it will make you lose a lot of power, response wise. sure your top end RPM will be better but i doubt we should be driving 6000G's everywhere

look to keep your whole cat back 2.5" its a rule that you should stick to if you want back pressure for response. :PBJ:

*Smacks head against wall*

Back pressure KILLS power, you NEVER want back pressure, EVER.

The choice of 2.5" is to do with harmonics, and gas flow speed VS cooling.

Mainly, Harmonics.

better still i should correct that with scanvenging, which is made with a small pipe. Back pressure is fine its only wasted energy???? and the scanvenging is like a vaccume and will suck air out the cylinders??? (think my words have been mixed around) think thats how it goes. did you also check the welds on the cat and muffler this might relate to the problem :S

Answer: its just a characteristic of the engine thats only a problem when you change the zorst system far from stock. If you dont want the noise to be noticed the easiest way to get rid of it is a stock zorst system from catback. There are aftermarket ways and yes you can have desired response but you must use mufflers and resonators to quiet the noise so you dont have this being loud. In turn your zorst system when it = quiet, your 'Rattle' will = quiet.

im starving to get my car on the road so i called up to ask when i can do the engine and got this answer back for the sake of it.....didnt get a straight answer on my car though :) his laziness is upsetting

hey guys i have the rattle to i wouldnt worry bout it its just the engine sound resonating throught the exhaust. (pretty sure)

my exhaust system consists of coby extractors provided by our N/A legend EUG straight 2.5" pipe to drift cannon on back still makes sound was thinking of knocking out cat for fun but car is way to loud as it is had it checked outside car 1m from exhaust registerd 110.7db inside car was 93-95 cruising at 100km in 5th 2700rpm lol

if u get up the car heaps the sound aint that bad maybe cause its so loud and with sterio up perfect bliss :laugh:

i did have a really bad rattle myself, found out it was some kinda shielding that was on the exhaust itself, just under the passenger footwell, it was held together with wire, and crap, stupid previous owner..... removed it and the horrible rattle went away, note that i still have the old RB rumble, resonation, whatever you want to call it :banana:

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
