Okay I've decided to play it safe with the EPA test and use a standard exhaust system if I can get hold of one. Need to borrow a stocker R33 GTS-T exhaust - anyone close to the Eastern suburbs?

Alex kindly offered me his, but if I can find anything closerit'll save me crossing the westgate for it...need to pickup on the weekend, preferably Saturday.

Sixer of beer / deposit / use my hoist for a day :blink:

Cheers.

I'm about to steal a stock exhaust from geraus so you can borrow it from me once I take ownership of it...

lol j/k, I plan on returning it to geraus this Sunday (test is on Friday). So I guess arrange with geraus after that...unless you want to pick it up directly from me, save me taking it back to geraus?

hey guys i just realised urs is a stock gtst. I dont think it can go on my gtr.

Thanks anyway guys.

Standard GTR exhaust is approx 94 decibels I've heard! Legal limit is 90 across the board for cars I thought, but for a GTS-T that's measured at 4800 rpm. RB26DETT might be measured for 90 at less RPM.

So ridiculous. Who cruises along at 75% peak RPM? Probably spend 2 seconds of time there, when overtaking a car during busy traffic when passing traffic noise is going to be louder than one car's exhaust? Really would like to punch out whoever came up with the regulations and rationale for them, and not because I got EPA'd, but because they're just a dumber than dumb f***.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
