Hi all, I had a quick look around but couldn't find an answer:

Does anyone have the service manual diagram or similar for R34 GTT Sedan exhaust system with the measurements (length) for all parts:

1. Dump pipe

2. Catalyser

3. Front pipe

4. Front muffler

5. Rear pipe

6. Rear muffler

Also if you have the above for the R34 GTT Coupe or R33 GTSt Coupe that would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to work out what's involved in modifying R34 GTT Coupe or R33 GTSt Coupe exhaust system (turbo back or just catback) for R34 GTT Sedan - is it just adding extra piping before or after the front muffler, or is it more complicated than that?

The sedan systems are pretty hard to come by and pricey... I know that the system is longer than the coupe one.

I found a good pic of two systems here:

1 x Stock R33 GTST (2 door) Cat back exhaust (Cat back section with stock dual tip muffler)

1 x Stock R34 GTT (2 door) Turbo back exhaust (Dump, front, cat, cat back section, Genuine Nismo VSS Muffler)

Also a useful diagram from the R34 Gtr Exhaust In R34 Gtt thread:

R34 GTT (assume coupe):

Thanks in advance!

sedan exhaust is slightly longer so the rear hangers for the tips are at different positions.

everything else is the same.

its around 15-20cm difference.

Awesome, thanks heaps for this Dori34!

So basically all you need is a 15-20cm extension for the rear pipe (before rear muffler) to convert an R34 Coupe system for a Sedan. Sounds like a run of the mill job for an exhaust joint.

Does anyone know the differences between the R33 GTSt Coupe and R34 GTT Coupe systems?

I just got a second hand HKS Super Drager catback (for R33 GTS-t) with the intention of getting it modified to suit my R34 GTT sedan.

I thought I'd have to add some extra piping but looking under the car it seems the other way around, I may have to cut some off!

The stock cat rear is roughly where the HKS front muffler front would be.

The cat sits basically under the passenger seat (you can just see at the bottom of the photo) and the front pipe is seriously long:

Did all the R34 Sedans (this is series 1) come with this arrangement i.e. front pipe straight after dump, before the cat??

Does any manufacturer make thicker front pipes (3" or so) for these things or do you have to go custom?

i have a custom 3" front pipe if you are interested, $80 + post.

just needs to be flanged to suit your dump - been made custom so it sits as close to the body and doesn't sag unlike some off the shelf ones around.

From what i gathered, the R33 GTST length is same as R34 GTT but some hangers are different so have to be modded.

you could always just go your local exhaust shop and get them to supply and fit one?

you dont HAVE to order a japan / brand based exhaust

Yeah getting a custom one is the plan, it probably works out cheaper too.

Thanks for the offer, I'll PM you with some further questions.

I'm going to get a quote from an exhaust shop over the next few days, let's see what they think.

Just in case anyone is wondering, the approximate measurements of the stock exhaust system are as follows:

  1. Front pipe 50 cm
  2. Cat 39 cm
  3. Mid pipe 50 cm (looks shorter in the photo though)
  4. Mid muffler 30 cm
  5. Rear pipe 80 cm
  6. Rear muffler 50 cm (it is massive)
  7. Tips 10 cm

Please note that these are 'linear' lenghts, not actual pipe lengths.

Here's a quick photo:

The catback is different between sedan and coupe and it seems that the rear end of the front pipe is mounted slightly differently, too.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
