ok, i have an R32 GTS-T and a full 3 inch exhaust with a cannon. i have seen my mates GT-R make meter long flames and just wondering why mine doesn't?

i know it's to do with unburnt fuel and a hot exhaust igniting it, and mine makes some fery loud pops! but i've just never been able to get a flame! i have had mates repeatedly rev it to see... some pops are really loud cracks and some are deep thuds. anyone know anything about this?

get a b r limiter , they are like the mad core . the flames make your way car faster . but it drifts weird if your exhaust isnt in the middle . pull the exhaust off at the dump pipe and itll make it do wheelies

+1 but my car did back flips instead of wheelies... i think i pulled to much of the exhaust off

all GTR's need is a gutted cat or de-cat and you will get flames.

mine lets flames out a fair bit with de-cat but as others have said over time the rear bar gets black shit over it which does come off but is annoying. Will probs be getting 3M clear film/sticker for rear bar protection or just chuck a high flow in soon.

Step 1: remove cat

Step 2: turn off the decel fuel cut on computer

Step 3: pay ridiculous amounts of money in fuel to burn rear bar

you forgot to add in step 4, which is "say goodbye to the exhaust wheel of the stock turbo as it gets drastically weakened by the excess heat and decides to part company with the turbo and go on a holiday out the exhaust"

also i think this pic belongs in this thread

So can high flow cats still permit flames (200 cel or 100 cel)? Or does it fully have to be no cat (too loud)? Does it work with non turbo engines? Technically it should because it is unburnt fuel and exhaust heat, unless the turbo contributes to a lot more heat...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
