Yup, agree. I too prefer the nismo. For my car it's a bit overkill anyways. I couldn't see anything when I looked down a legalis, where as the nismo defiantly had the step down in it. Just goes to show, if you want outright and performance, go and see a fabricator like Scotty, then you know what your getting in regards to size. The GTR guys found this on their jap systems too!

The twin Nismo is 70mm internal to the muffler, where as the Fujitsubo has twin 70mm in the rear muffler. Theoretically the Nismo should be quieter then. I wonder how much it will restrict flow...

Hey guys just did the brake cut mod today (simple and cheap) and after having the stag for around 8mths the need for more power is starting to arrive. I think exhaust is next but I love the fact my m35 is so quiet but spanks most cars with no fuss so I'm thinking dump pipe but the rest of exhaust standard? Will this give a good increase in power or would a full exhaust be way better? Money is also a bit of an issue as I don't think the missus is fully buying the " it's for better fuel economy line". Any advise would be aprechiated.

If you were looking at doing one part of the exhaust the dump would be it. They have an extra Cat in them that really just doesn't flow. But really to take full advantage you would want to put a full system thru.

There are some quite exhaust options, for example the single outlet nismo that I have. It's not much louder then stock.

I did a 3" dump pipe on a standard exhaust, and it does make a difference; the stock dump is massively restrictive.

I'd advise a dump & front pipe with hiflow cat in 3", then reduce to 2.5 and into the stock system, if you need to keep it under the radar with the missus.
There would be a good gain in kw and torque, but virtually no change in exhaust note.

Has anyone ever had a resonator installed on their M35? If so, how did you go about it and what were the results?

I've got a Kakimoto R catback with custom dump pipe and front pipes but it's just too loud.

I'd like to add a resonator but was told there isn't enough straight sections in the system to fit one.

Any ideas?

Cheers

A resonator? What you want is a Helmholtz chamber, like the Nismo/Fujitsubo cat backs run. You won't find many exhaust shops that know what they are...

Easiest way is to fit a Varex muffler on the end, or run an active exhaust valve with a bypass muffler.

Do you still have a Cat in your set up?

Just asking as I have picked up a Kakimoto N1 and am wondering how loud this is going to be...

As Scotty mentioned Helmholtz chambers feature on a few M35 Jap shelf exausts, fujitsubo one looks like this.

Maybe see if you can get someone to fab up one for you?

Thanks again Scott for that. I did consider the Helmholtz chamber but thought it would cost too much to fabricate a custom one.

I might ask around more.

Dmyze - Yep I have a cat which is connected to my front pipe. The Kakimoto R is pretty damn loud but it's the cabin drone which kills it for me.

It's even more of an issue since I have a 2 year old plus another on the way.... I need it as quiet as possible.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Does a new dump and front pipe do much for exhaust noise?? Bit curious because i wouldnt consider my kaki cat back loud or droney at all really..

If you had a de-cat front pipe it would make a huge difference. both hte cat and front pipe will have cats inside them standard.

The Kakimoto N1 is loud as f**k lol, Excuse my french, i have one on my car atm. The drone on the inside of the car is also loud tho it gives a good idle tone. I can post a video for sound/to see what it looks like if ya like?

The girlfriend is gunna love this I can tell, lol :/

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
