Thanks for your appreciation popinr33.

"B" and "P", thanks for your feedback on the Kakimoto.

I guess my dilemma is this...

Just a straight swap from the Nismo 3" to the Kakimoto 3.5" gives me this...

If the improvement, was just 3-4Kw, I'd just switch back to the Nismo exhaust which I'm quite happy with - even power-wise.

However, 13.4Kw is an appreciable and noticeable gain; so...

should one consider a Varex rear muffler, or perhaps wait for a 90mm HKS or equivalent.

Pls don't laugh, but I actually bought some ear plugs at the local chemist to-day (for temporary relief of course hehe) > proves I'm not going deaf just yet.

Terry, going by your photo's it looks like your version of the N1 is the PREMIUM model. That is rated at 98 Db (Who know's what RPM that Db rating is at. Proberbly when the starter motor is turning over) . HA! For starters it doesnt have a mid muffler (where as mine does) and the section after the catback is 90 mm (mine is 80). Would love to hear this thing on full noise! I'm sure it would sound just stupidly loud..... but oh so unreal level's of awsomeness at the same time!

Mega-N1 apparently, but I didn't know about "Premium" type "P"

There must be some sort of packing material inside that cannon - surely.

Yes it comes with a Restrictor/Silencer "B". I can see myself lined up with other cars at a Defect St'n and here's Terry ramming the silencer up its ass >_<

It looks as if it's never been fitted before - tight fit.

Thanks Michael & ML73ZR...

I realise that ^ ^ ^ whilst apologising to wifie saying, "Guess what! Something else has come up!"

Yes, she's hard to let go of.

And it doesn't make it any easier knowing that many friends here on SAU would chop off their li'l finger for the above. > A deposit was accepted to-day!

Love that "flat" torque/power curve.

Pretty much pushing out ~300KW from ~5300rpm to redline.

Thanks Rhys and Matt.

Just got the car back from Unigroup Eng.

The above figure was the final rKw one after boost had been rolled back to 1.4bar with 98RON and -7 turbs.

I wanted boost to come on earlier - bottom end power: but only a little top end power was sacrificed due to Yavuz' superb tuning.

Thanks too to Steve-0 for working with Yavuz and getting Poncams and Tomei cam gears to suit. Cams advanced 3-4 degrees.

Thanks - yet I have Yavuz to thank for that. Steve-0 and Yavuz case-conferenced on what my car needed!

I'm aware that it takes a special skill to place the mass sensors correctly on the D-Jetro and tune accordingly.

I understand that the new owner Simon will eventually take the car there too & make sure that the replacement 044 fuel pump is operating well, unlike its predecessor (which was also brand new). Congrats to Simon!

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
