Well actually ive been working on the 4" exhaust since yesterday morning. Upto the last bit under the sway bar and upto the rear muffler! Then I can drop it all and tig it all up.

Ill put some pics up soon of what ive made so far.

for 4" thats pretty tucked, nice work.

hard mounted to the gearbox hence the need for the flex joint?

Yeh its come up pretty good so far, alot higher then I imagined it would be, however when I let one of the zip ties goes holding it in place just before the first muffler, that may all change abit.

Im still using the factory rubber bracket off the gbox, you just cant see it too well in the pictures. Flex pipe is just added security I guess.

lol, IF IT kisses any speed bumps. Im considering bumping the ride height up a little bit too, as the tires scrub out sometimes. Maybe another 15mm rise in height will help prevent that from happening.

No I didnt actually, but thats a pretty good idea incase that becomes an issue. The last muffler didnt catch there, but that was only 3". There is a good chance it may happen now with this 4" system. I will look at that tonight!

as my brother just mentioned it to me earler, it may pay to do a similar thing to the flex bellows except like a heat shield so you dont catch and tear holes in it.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
