Hey i am looking to buy a new exhaust for my R31 Skyline and i want it to sound really good.

Would anyone be able to recommend a size of exhaust and brands and to go for a cannon or something else.

how much you wanna spend. personally, i reccommend andrew at AM performance (and so do most people here), that man cannot do a thing wrong. his work is quality.

also what motor do you have in it?

as an example, i have a rb20 with a 3inch system and a HKS super dragger cannon, it sounds really nice, if a little quiet. (ps its hard to make most RB's sound bad)

I think you'll find a custom stainless exhaust to be made up turbo back will be a pricey event, but you pay that if you want something custom.

Rampage exhausts did all the work on a friends RB30DET drag car exhaust, and his work looks great and sounds insane. Give em' a buzz mate.

IIRC it's $350ish for a standard front/dump pipe. Hardly what I'd call unreasonable. What did he quote you and what was it for?

True, and you'll pay a lot more for the CES Racing dump and I wouldn't risk any of the others which are cheap china shit!

If you have an RB30e, go a 2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust. Retains back pressure, and sounds nice.

3" systems are mainly for turbo cars, or high powered N/A cars.

Definatly see Mark at Exhaust Tech, the 2.5 JUN BL cat back on mine is great, and has good customer service too. I had a problem with the exhaust bracket falling off, buzzed down there,and was out of there within 10 minutes.

ive used popular exhaust store before. i wont be going back. while it at the very least sounded alright, it was press bent, poorly made, and i was charged top dollar for it, for the money, andrew wouldve been a much better choice.

that dump cost $350. f**king good value.

from popular exhaust store, similiar money will get you some shitty mild steel bell mouth.

in summary, am performance > *

....his customer service is next to none.....

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      My BMW 335i

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
