Hey Guys

I am looking at upgrading my stock exhaust system on my R34 GTT and have narrowed it down to one of these two:

I've heard good things from both but wanted to see if anyone's got either of these on their cars and if they would recommend them and why...

Kakimoto has two mufflers, its still a cat-back exhaust....

why does the kakimoto one have 2 mufflers? does this affect performance in any way? and why does it look so much longer in length compared to the HKS one?

I have not had the chance to hear a kakimoto exhaust (My friend has one for his 350Z on order) but I have heard the HKS on a few local R32's and it sounded rather nice when you jump on it...

had a kakimoto Regu on mine. exhaust tip looked very hardcore (jap racer style) and on boost in the high revs it used to literally scream.

had the muffler replaced by an Apexi N1 as the regu had started to rust/discolour badly (previous owner in japan installed it) which IMO did sound louder than the regu but i think the RB sound was a lot more pronounced with the N1.

I have'nt heard the HKS either but I'm very impressed with my Kakimoto, even at idle it has a nice subtle business sounding burble but does'nt attract too much unwanted attention, it wont wake the non-Skyline enthusiast neighbours unless its wound up.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
