what is the difference between these three pipe sizes?

much power to gain from 3" to 4"?

sound?

steel type?

Bout an 1" to an 1" 1/2 Lol.. sorry bro

I have a 4" HKS on mine, 330rwkw no restriction should make a heap more soon to.

as a rough guide

3" ~ 300kw

3.5"~350kw

4"~400kw+

Sort of real rough guide do a search bro i think R31Nismoid has gone over it in a few threads.

Cheers,

Mitch.

Yep, that's pretty much what R31Nismoid will say.

455rwkw, 75/80mm exhaust.

It's got nothing left to give, replacement being made right now.

Sounds decent though, but that's mainly the cams

Link Doesnt work ?

Works now , sounds tough !

Be interesting to see what happens when you change it without even a retune :P

not too many too list. the car is completely standard. :thumbsup:

i dont want too many mods. in the future i might go to N1 tubos with all the supporting mods, but at the moment i just want exhaust.

Stock? And here we are thinking it's got a whole catalogue thrown at it.

Leave the stock dumps until you change turbos.

For now, get some good quality front pipes (I have hks, they're good), a high flowing cat (or none, up to you), and a kakimoto catback. It will sound SO good and be enough flow for now, or for later when you change to steel wheel turbos.

You may have people saying to get a 3.5" catback but I don't see why, when the front pipes merge to a 3" merge and your car is stock.

Steve. Did you ever get a unigroup tune before the 3 litre? we have *almost* the same setup apart from the the extra 260 cc. it would be interesting to see the results.

Yeah actually, he spent 45 mins with the microtech the night before driving it to Victoria due to a faulty ecu another forum member sold me.

Yavuz wasn't happy with the tune but he said it's enough power for a weekend of fun but super safe so nothing will happen. On 98, 371rwkw 18psi. No mechanical changes the next tune was 403rwkw, maxed injectors changed to ID2000's and then tuned as is. Wait until my new exhaust is done, I'll be straight back to Yavuz for another tune with more boost etc

Edit; sorry, that was 3L. No one in Sydney ever tuned it while it was 2.6L, I misread your question, sorry. Also it's an 87mm bore, so a tad more than 260cc, but who cares it's splitting hair. Sorted out your pipes?

haha, yes same, i was expecting a longer list of mods :thumbsup:

Pretty much as you said Steve.

Although i would just get 3.5" from the outset personally. Once day you might decide to get slightly bigger turbos etc and a tad larger exhaust could offer benefits.

Certainly no need for a 4" unless you are planning on a 400rwkw+ sorta build.

Also some merge's actually go to 3.5", i know the trust ones do... so certainly not all front pipes end up 3" @ the merge.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
