Hey guys,

small favour for a good mate of mine who just purchased an R34 GTR and is looking to upgrade the exhaust. He has no interest/time in the forums (so he claims) pfft :rant:

Anyways, i made him settle for the Amuse R1 Titan catback cos it looks and sounds insane or even the Trust TI or Kakimoto Full Mega as a slightly cheaper option and also metalcat highflow.

Im a little unsure for the front section, im assuming it should be changed to keep the flow all nice and even as opposed to stock, but can anyone offer suggestions on front pipes/dump pipes? Links are not necessary but wouldnt hurt.

I used some JJR gear when i had the R33 few years back, quality was great and fitment was ok but i remember there being slight hissing sounds due to small leaks etc.

forget titanium,

Get a full turbo back exhaust, there is f**k all to be gained in a catback on a stock front system.

Kakimoto full mega n1 whatever it is is two twin pipes that never meet and run parallel down the length of the car, probably not what you want (LOUD).

Just get a nice catback of whatever brand he likes and add the biggest highflow cat you can afford.

once you have this, find a frontpipe, there are alot of copies available now but honestly just grab a HKS one from Nengun or something for 600 or so bucks.

Yea we saw that HKS unit but were unsure if you also needed dump pipes. So im assuming no is the answer to that one? Also maybe i typed the wrong Kakimoto unit as the one we saw is single pipe not the ultra loud double system lol.

Hey mate, generally most of the front pipes will bolt up-to the standard turbocharger arrangement.

You will find if it doesn't it will list this.

should you be unsure just be sure to check with the person you a purchasing it from or do a forum search.

For what it's worth, I had a HKS front pipe behind my R33 N1's it it bolted up perfectly.

You might be thinking of the Kakimoto Regu I think it is called, very nice sounding exhaust.

How far you go with the exhaust will depend basically on what turbos the car has/ will have.

If your mate will want more power in the future (he will) don't get a restrictive system, you will end up changing it down the track anyway.

As has already been stated R34 GT-R dump pipes are very good and you won't need improved ones until you add another 150kw to the standard figure (just as an arbitrary base)

I would go,

HKS front Pipe + VENOM high flow cat (google search like $230 delivered and they are about as high flow as you can get with still having the mesh inside it) + HKS HI-POWER silent.

How much did it cost you to get the flanges welded onto the end of that venom cat

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
