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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
