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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
