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.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
