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?

Damn, I've heard the one from the Russian guy Leki on YouTube, if you wanna put up a clip that would be awesome, cheers man.

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

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
