Picking up my new white 2010 GTR on Monday (very excited)

Tested their silver one a week ago (huge grin factor). Very subdued on the sound department.

First thing on my agenda a top quality exhaust upgrade (power, sound, lighter)

With so many out there HKS, AMUSE e.t.c is there a top 3 in peoples minds?

What consideration do I need to give? e.g. Y pipe, straight pipe e.t.c

Are there GTR 35 owners here who have upgraded a full dual exhaust system and which and why did you choose the one you have?

Cheers

I am also looking to change the exhaust. Does anyone know anything about the Stillen cat back system. A bloke from Tassie I met said he put one on his R35 and he reckons it sounds awesome. Does anyone know if Nissan voids the new car warranty if you mod the exhaust (cat back only).

your whole car warranty cannot be voided by a single mod. advice on the forums and internet is not worth much in a dealership or in the law courts but in general if the non-genuine part can be identified as the cause for the problem under warranty claim (eg: turbocharger problem or something even slightly related to the exhaust) then nissan may not honour your warranty, even if it is BS.

if your aircon stops working or a suspension component fails of course nissan would find it hard to refuse warranty for the sake of a midpipe.

I would say you would be very unlucky to have a midpipe or catback cause a problem that will void a warranty claim but it is conceivable so do so at your own risk.

I might add though that you would be hard pressed to find an R35 on this forum without at least a midpipe these days!

Do you need to do a retune if you do a midpipe. I was led to believe that no retune is required if you only change the catback system.

you dont need to do a retune, but a COBB stage 2 or Mail order tune form Willall or similar will maximise the benefits. Once you reflash the ECU however nissan will start flapping their arms more than with just the midpipe/catback.

For those that live in SE Qld the Mercury guys have the COBB tuning software to provide custom tunes. otherwise people have had good success with Martins Willall mailorder tune. A custom tune will give you just that little bit extra in most cases from what

I have been told.

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
