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)

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

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
