OH thanks ndawg yeah im really nooby at these kinds of stuff.

I have to ask, if you're really new to this kind of stuff why are you spending money on it?

Extractors will give sweet f**k all but an empty wallet. The gains are not worth it. I should know as I put them on my Supra.

LOL ive done most of the suspension stuff already wheels good tires, cold air intake, and im happy with the handling now i just want to push more power before i start to do internals or even do it at all, the nooby bit was that i dont know who are the suppliers or manufacturers and just wanted to know soo i can start looking.

Your choice mate, but if it were me and I wanted a faster NA Skyline I'd invest in some very light weight rims - to get a decent size and good looking you'll be looking at some serious cash. At least its something that I could keep when I sold my GTS and upgraded to a turbo model. Whereas an expensive exhaust will probably only devalue your car.

the gains i got from putting coby's on my r34 have been worth it, whats the point in putting a new system on a car if you leave the headers all restricted? i see the gains on the highway evertime i pass a car on the highway, obviously they dont make an NA into a rocket ship but they greatly allow more performance over the stock item - ive read on here you can get an extra 4 or 5 kw or something like that on the top end, which isnt much lol but something anyways for an NA

and coby's arent too much, i got mine for 280 new, but i guess yours wil cost more after shipping

different cars will get different gains from extractors. my v6 magna it didn't make a scrap of difference because the cams were the restriction not the headers. however on my SSS pulsar it made a massive difference. i probably gained 10 or 15kw up top as the stock headers started to choke the engine at about 5500rpm, but now it revs out nicely to about 7000rpm before it starts to choke a bit.

wow that was helpful, considering hes asking about skylines,

get coby extractors they are around $200 and while your at it get hi flo cat or gutt the standard one aswell

Cobys are at a good price when tehs a GB on for them. Don't bother buying just set for yourself. Not worth it at all. I know cos I did it lol. Might as well go the DKNE ones. But if your willing to spend the money then yea lol. To be honest I didn't notice much difference at all in power, but response was a bit better.

Dude, I promise you the 2JZ-GE will gain far more power from a full exhaust system than an RB25DE.

I did the works: HPC DKNE extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent custom system and high flow cat, and the gains were simply not worth the price. So why would spending the same amount of money for the same mods be any better value on a Skyline?

Kieren

the guy has brought a skyline not a supra and trying to compare the 2 cars is like comparing apples with oranges.....it just dont work. 2 different engines and 2 totally different cars.

when i put the extractors on my 34 i gained responsiveness and maybe only a kw or 2, but the responsiveness was there. I had too get my extractors custom made as there werent any that you could buy "off the shelf" at the time.

i gained 16 kW just from the exhaust alone, and i got the extractors about 6 mths after i had the exhaust put on.

simpleboyy - its your car dude so you do what you want with it and dont listen to the people that say "do this or dont do this"...... if you need any help with anything ill be more than happy to help you with whatever questions you have,

good luck :D

Sure, it's apples and oranges, but they're still both fruit.

Putting extractors on the Supra does the exact same thing. Grants you around... 5rwkw top end and grants much more power down low.

All I'm saying is the gains from extractors are minimal, and on an NA your money can be put to much better use. Whether it be suspension, decent lightweight wheels, tyres, cosmetic or just putting it away for your next car.

Depends too how restrictive the existing exhaust system is. I don't know how the supra and skyline exhausts compare, but if one is more restrictive from factory than the other, then naturally one is going to have more gains in power and/or responsiveness than the other.

i gained about 10kw from extractors alone on my SSS pulsar, yet on my v6 magna the full exhaust (extractors and cat back) only gained me 7kw. as people have said, you can't compare the effect that extractors will have between 2 different engines

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
