Well after a long wait, and a lot of patience i finally took the plunge and attempted to fit a 34 GTR exhaust (Impul) with stock GTR cat to my GTT split dump/front pipe from JJR.

Several hours and a broken turbo stud later and its on, but...

I can now confirm that a gtr catback (at least the one i bought) does NOT bolt up to a gtt, it is infact too long! its about 3/4's the length of the cat too long, so about 8-10inches

So now as it sits, i have my JJR 3" front/dump, mated up to the mid section of the cat back, minus the cat, with about a 8-10inch piece of custom pipe to make up the difference in length, which then joins to the end pipes/muffler

Further more, when i get a new cat, the system will no doubt need a little chopping and changing to accomodate the size, assuming its longer than what is already there.

So no, a gtr catback will not bolt up to a gtt without a little customization.

Big thanks to all the guys at Al's Race fab and mechanical, worked tirelessly through the night to get me back on the road

the hangars were ok, a little tight toward the back of the end pipe,

The Impul gtr exhaust sat perfectly in the centre of the cut out section in the rear bar, nicely tucked up under the car.

The stock gtr cat would bolt up to the 3" dump/front pipe i got from JJR, but i dont know how it would go with a stock gtt cat, im not sure if the flanges would be on the same angles

RusH, you know you could have just bought a R34 GTT exhaust system... :D

Straight bolt on fit and I am sure IMPUL make one if not other Japanese brands make exhaust for the R34 GTT.

i spent $550 on a full 3" turbo back system... im fine with the customized way :), jumped on a good opportunity when it presented itself and got the full system at a great price (installed for free as a bit of a trade off)

I see...

That sir, is a great deal! :)

Well as long as it worked out fine it's all good.

:D sure is

Will be getting the mid muffler removed shortly to increase the noise and putting in a metal cat as well

You want more noise..?

Brisbane must be pretty lenient...

Haha!!

well i have to say, with the oval tip muffler and the mid muffler, the exhaust is not much louder than stock, it would be great for a stealth application, but id like a little more of that RB growl :)

Yeah true, I too just bough a Veilside Oval shape muffler (Cat back) and before it was on a R32 GTR, heavily modified and it sounded quite, so it should sound similar to my stock cat back, but just a tad louder.

BTW, GTR exhaust's have twin out lets into one - molds into the front pipe.

So what did you have to do to make it fit? Block off one of the inlets on the exhaust? Cut it off? Block it off?

Well mine is a cat back, so its only a single pipe from the cat section back, so it was just a matter of lining it up and bolting it in, a new piece of pipe was used to make up the extra 8-10inches after removing the cat.

That is all mated up to the GTT bellmouth dump/front pipe

So did you buy a full exhaust or just a cat back... :P

I can see a pic in your avatar, got any more?

^^Looks great RusH!

The fitting looks nice and neat too.

Good exhaust flow for sure.

Thanks dude,

Its tucked in pretty good, and has decent clearance, so it shouldnt cause problems when i get some coilovers on, and it doesnt rattle or move about either, so all in all im pretty happy :P

Wonder how well an R34 GTR exhaust would go on an R34 GT-T sedan then, if it's too long for the coupe.... There's an R34 GTR cat-back exhaust I'm eyeing off at the moment - but I don't want to go to too much effort modifying it to fit.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
