Could be the soot, but it may also be water in the resonator.

Unless he does really short trips continually I would have thought it would get too hot for water to condense in the resonator?

With just the hiflow cat (instead of the one in the dump and one in front pipe) should be finding it gets hotter further back in the exhaust system now.

Don't have a resonator in atm and is just 3" straight throught to original muffler and it is getting quieter so think the soot build up is most likely settling it down.

It is more due to the design of the Legalis (and the original Nismo for that matter).

You can see in the pic below that there is a resonator off to the right of the main pipe, this is the one I am referring to.

For some reason, it is quite normal for this to have some water in it after a bit of use (have even seen some guys state it is the reason they have put them up for sale on Yahoo - bit dramatic if you ask me)

Have seen that weird little growth off the side before and have wondered how much it might help quieten the system.

Guess it would take a bit longer to heat this part up as the hot gas doesn't flow straight through it so would stay cool enough for water vapour to condense a bit longer than the rest.

Maybe they should put a drain plug in it!

apparently i read in another thread that it sends a pulse noise/signal, when it rebounds off the end, back to the exhaust cancelling out most of the sound(correct me if im wrong - iamhe im sure you will anyway) which could be possible. kinds of like in/out of phase or cross phase in audio i guess.

It helps to quieten it quite a bit (although I have not cut it off my Nismo to check - nor will I).

Here are a couple of clips I put up using a digi camera. As you can see/hear, neither are particularly loud.

Both have a very, very similar design although the pipe to the resonator is angled slightly differently and the rear muffler is completely different.

Keep in mind the dump on this thing is massive, around 4 inches wide oval under the passengers feet. It will definitely sound different and slightly louder.

The drone at 2000 revs is a pain, very hard to get rid of. I cruise on 2500 now and don't hear it.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
