Picked up my car this morning, resplendent in new heatwrapped mid pipe, 100 cell hiflow cat, and shiny Fujitsubo exhaust fitted. Now it's 3" from turbo to tip.

Canak Autosport did a beautiful job on the mid pipe; tucked up nice and close to the floor, out of harms way. Cost a little more than I expected, but there's almost $400 in cat, flex joint and flanges.

Sounds brilliant, no drone, just a sweet rumble at idle, and nice rasp as you rev out. Now pushes almost 15 psi instead of 12, feels so much more responsive!

One very happy camper.

Good stuff Dale...

Picked up some 33gtr swaybars last night, will chuck them in on the weekend and pull the diff out to be dropped to my diff guy on Tuesday... SkidWagon is getting close.. BRING ON POWERCRUISE!

Bet that sounds shit hot also Daleo..as well as looking quite smart! *thumbs up* :O

Im actually wondering if the HKS suited for the M35 sports muffler on my full 3" system from scotty actually gives more power than the fujtsubo / kakimoto M35 systems. I know the Fujitsubo and Kakimoto's have a much nicer quieter tone. (bit like a rexy bob)

My question is would there be any difference as mine is like 50 times louder?

I think it comes down to the design more so than how loud it is.

Both the Fujitsubo and Kakimoto exhausts are designed to flow as much air with as little restriction as possible while their muffler setups use vastly different designs to control the sound/volume

I think that the only way to tell if yours makes more power would be to dyno them back to back on the same car.

You can't look at Scott's dyno results for a comparison between the two because he changes shit on his car every second day :O

hrmm good Point Iain.

Im wondering if scott has any dyno's done with just that exhaust mod from stock :huh:

and what impact it had...would be interesting to know the difference for sure.

Cheers!

Had the 260RS profesionally detailed today. Got the lot done for $300 which I recon is bloody cheap! Then brought it home and polished the GReddy intake pipes. Man I love this car even more now!! :)

A bit lame but bought some 15mm hubcentric spacers from JustJap.

Matt@JustJap had them delivered to my door within 3.5hrs (ordered 10.15am sitting on the doorstep at work by 1.45pm). That is outstanding service and deserves a pat on the back.

I have a HKS2835ProS going on next week to replace the perfectly fine HKS GT-RS which will be a more interesting mod. More on this next week.

hrmm good Point Iain.

I asked for the system to be fitted when I bought the car so no pre graphs, I cant even remember what it drove like... I think the words were "4 cats, you are kidding right". :blink:

Im pretty sure you replied to Cam's post and not mine mate :P

its not like we are remotely the same, he has a gay coloured car!!

lol... and you have a stock kinda car (or is that a "gonna" kind of car :laugh:) with an old-man interior!

Anyway, minor-ish service on my Stag today - oil, cleaned intake and a/c filters, changed plugs etc, etc...

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
