Guys,

Don't be afraid of getting systems with resonators in them. They can actually improve power (most of the time by only 2kW :(), and make the car sound quieter, by removing the lower frequencies (drone) of the exhaust system. a long Helmholtz resonator is the only way to go IMHO to improve drone type resonance in an exhaust system, but it has to be tuned to the specific resonance/drone you are interested in removing. Custom systems need a couple of gos to get this, but once it is done, you sell it to everyone. Probably the way Willall has done it.

Martin, I'm a bit interested by your 'diversion plates' and tubulence inducing thingy-me-bobs. I thought the rule of thumb with the exhaust is trying to promote less turbulence in the system, which in turn provides better flow and less back pressure. Hence the absorbing style muffler (straight through) are promoted more for race applications than the reflective (internal baffled system) style muffler.

Turbulence in a flow system will often allow close to double the flow rate in a given condition than laminar ordered flow. This is a very little understood piece of exhaust design :)

Can you prove this?

I guess it depends on your definition of turbulence...

Drove my ute this week to work, but took the GTR out cruising tonight with a mate from interstate who had not been in an R35 GTR before & had a real hoot. Didn't get much of a chance to go for it but just cruising around with a few little bursts made me realise how much of an improvement the mid pipe has made. It makes me want to drive the car more.

Anyone else done done similar mod to their GTR?

I've also installed th Willall y-pipe, sound seems to be getting "meatier" after some k's too. I expected it to to a bit quieter with come carbon build up, but it seem to be getting better? It's great because you can actually hear the car now! Encourages you to use the box in manual mode through town etc. Love it!

Had my Willal pipe installed on Saturday, I must say it was difficult to get me out of the car all weekend. I love the sound of the car....not sure my wife loves it so much when I leave at 5am...but I figure if I am up then she should be too.

It is interesting to note that I believe the car actually goes better with it. I have put the foot down (from low speeds) in a straight line and have seen the traction control come on. This is in R mode. This never happened in a straight line before, so I will do some runs on the Performance box and will let you know how it goes.

Very happy with the pipe, the car sounds like a sports car now.

for the super discounted price of 25,000AUD or so you can pick up a nismo titanium exhaust, or buy a daily driver...

if nissan void my warranty for the midpipe they better be ready to accept their own heavy clunker of a midpipe up their jacksie

Willalls are getting their new 4WD dyno next week (I think!) so I am sure there will be

some before & after runs done soon. There are a few std R35s in Adelaide in bad need

of the midpipe so stay tuned........

I havent had my JDM dynoed yet so will get that done before going futher..........

Hmmmmmm... those new turbos in the other thread look damn nice!

I was spinning the cores by hand the other day & you can really feel the difference.

Be interesting to see if the throttle response stays the same considering they should spool faster

being ball bearing & also the turbine is slightly larger.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
