I went through 4 different exhaust setups until I was happy with what I have at the moment.

Just be carefull of the Jap exhausts, some of them are only quiet because they restict them, I bought an Apexi N1 which was advertised as a 3.5inch system and 'quiet' only to find it had a 2.5 inch silencer welded in it! We cut it out and it flowed really well but too loud for me!

I ended up goin full custom exhaust, the mufflers (10inch x 7 x 16) I sourced from S.M.B and went with the largest 3.5 inch offset mufflers and custom piping.

They are fantastic quality mufflers and I had no loss in power at all from the loud jap exhaust I had.

If you are in Melbourne head down to Sabbadin Automotive Rob: 9558 4422.

Cheers

I was quoted approx $3300 for a full Racepace exhuast (leaving stock dumps), but call them for your own application, and I beileve that is mild steel with stainless mufflers.

I think you could do it cheaper in full stainless but the key is the mufflers that you use as to flow and noise.

They are amazing exhausts though.

3K for an exhaust? I know Racepace does excellent work but I wouldn't pay that much for an exhaust, I'll look into Sabbadin automotive at some point when I consider getting a new exhaust, I'm happy with my current one and its quiet enough for now :P

Thanks for the info and apologies for hijacking the thread.

Here I already had one when I got the car but these look great.

Wow, very nice indeed! But I don't think I can really justify the price tag when you can pick up a quality Blitz front pipe for half the price.

Anything on dump pipes? The seamless Tomei Expremes are nice, but again, I don't know whether the price is justified. Thoughts?

what power you chasing? i was under the impression stock R34 GTR dumps are fine for quite a bit of power

Thats correct. I'm doing a few things to my car at the moment for power and they haven't been a bottleneck yet.

Didn't realise that, definitely good to know. I'm not chasing massive power so the stock dumps will probably do for now. I'd be better off spending the extra $$$ on a hi-flow cat than new dumps.

Anyone have any knowledge of performance differences between cheaper front pipes (Blitz, JJR, HPI, OBX, etc.) compared to the higher-end pipes (Mines, HKS, Auto Staff, etc.)? Or is the extra cost solely due to material differences such as titanium over stainless or mild?

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
