i went to an exhaust shop today and said that i wanted a an exhaust which sounds more than the stock R33. the guy there said that he had a recent swap of a japanese one. and showed a JASMA stamped exhaust(just the exhaust from the cat- not the whole system) and said that its real good and blah blah. he said that its worth $800 and i may have to buy a resonator as well which will cost $150 more. i m a bit new to skylines(just bought mine last week) but i was thinking that i can atleast get a decent catback system for about $800-$1000. am i wrong or the exhausts that expensive? by the way that guy was telling i felt he was trying to rip me off. any help will be appreiciated.

haha yeah thats a bit expensive.

i made my whole exhaust myself, bought some exhaust pipe and some bends, cut and welded it all together. not hard at all if you have some time and patience. only cost a few hundred for the whole thing.

JASMA is a specification like the Oz Standards (IIRC it means its under 92 db or something). I got a 5zigen twin muffler catback for 150 on fleabay, flows fine like the old one (straight through steam pipe no cat) and its cop friendly (though I can see myself removing a muffler one day cause it's almost TOO quiet)

I'd get a jap made exhaust, they are really well made and fit perfectly.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
