Hey sau,

Not long ago purchased a 1999 RS four S (dayz edition). Looking at my next catback exhaust system for the car, it came with a split dump pipe a custom welded front pipe and a OEM NISMO catback. I need something of high performance and nice decent note to the exhaust.. the following link shows the systems im looking at http://www.nengun.com/search/#t:n:u;v:90049;c:6;g:1

Kakimoto R

Kakimoto Full mega N1

HKS hi-power (used on my R33 skyline)

HKS silent hi-power

Greddy power extreme-GS

Just need some opinions on which is the best system i can buy, not too concerned about price just quality

Best regards chris.

Hey man,

Thanks for the advice, was running a hks hi power 409 on my R33 skyline. I feel it wasnt just cutting the cheese and felt like there are much better systems out there. Like i said not too concerned about money just want the best of the best

If there are any other systems i have missed out on please let me know

i've got fujitsubo s/s 3" on mine.

i think its a good exhaust for an every day driver (like mine) because it isn't too loud in the cabin, doesn't drone, and still has a bit of note when you get on it, but 89dB so remains legal.

the construction is just amazing - i love getting under the car and admiring it.

but i have heard that the HKS and Kakimotos flow better - but louder and may be over legal dB.

Was considering that, like said money is not a issue trying to decide between the two Kakimotos in the link just not sure which one would flow better and have a better note.

somewhat a fair bit louder then my oem NISMO catback

if money isn't an issue, and either is time - then i'd get one made locally in stainless steel - with a lukey muffler.

every import i hear with a local muffler on it sounds so nice and deep and bassy at idle and down low. such a smooth sound, where as i think the jap mufflers sound a bit more 'zingy'......IMO. or you could go for a varex muffler, and have control over the sound.

but for buy now, 100% guaranteed bolt up on the weekend solution - i'd just go for the N1 exhaust with a decat pipe, and perhaps put a remote butterfly in it to silence it.

p.s. you should have just bought my car when we talked and you wouldn't be facing these issues hahahah :-P

Your not wrong there man, but im a sucker for a stock car... love to modify it to my own liking with my insparation

Would be good to get some more opinions maybe someone who has a kakimoto? tossing up between the N1 and the NUR at the moment. Had the HKS on my R33 was happy with the sound but want to try something different this time

Mate the Jap ones are not all there cracked up to be, your mostly paying for sticker name. I have been going through the same dilema at the moment. In my opinion I think the Jap sticker brands are great for coolers and add ons like oil catch tank etc. But with price not being your deciding factor I would say you cant go past CES racing. I have been looking for the best quality and flow myself without price considerations and no one but CES racing will give you guaranteed kw increase. Full CES 3"stainless system with ceramic coated twin dump pipe for $2640. Im booked in to get mine fitted in 2 weeks time. Guaranteed 40kw increase at the wheels, best systems around for quality and performance I reckon :)

I'm guessing you're talking rb26? Maybe with a retune that might be possible. And for that price, I'd hope it includes one.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
