I just bought this exhuast.

post-49206-0-82148200-1306392453_thumb.png

It's a 3.5" Inch HKS exhaust but I don't know what the internal pipe diameter is.

When they quote an exhaust as being 3.5" does that mean that the internal pipe diameter is this width? or is it smaller?

lol even if the outer diameter of the pipe of a 3.5" pipe was 3.5" you'd only be losing literally a couple of millimeters of diameter due to the thickness of the pipe itself

in conclusion it's completely negligable.

If its 3.5 i would be confident in it fitting, like i said, the HKS is slightly over 3.5inch anyway. They are 95mm (for R33 anyway, 34's appear to be 85mm)

Have you considered measuring the pipe yourself? That way you will know for sure wont you.

Okay so i'm trying to find out which ecv to buy to match my exhaust.

Apexi ECV - http://www.nengun.com/apexi/exhaust-control-valve

155-A014

Nissan - Type A - ID 67mm - Bolt 105-107mm

155-A019

Universal - Pipe Type - ID 80mm - Bolt 105-107mm

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks mate, but I cab by measure the pipe because its in transit. I've seriously got no idea which ecv will fit.

i can't answer your question, but i will just point out that if you are putting in the ECV to make the car legal, it technically won't be. if the car ever gets tested they test the exhaust with the valve open. if you are putting it in to at least reduce the amount of attention the car draws and make it quieter to drive, then go for it.

Yep, i know that it won't make my car legal.

The problem is that i don't know which ECV will fit my 3.5" inch exhaust?

Nengun supplied the attached info sheet, and i asked them what the internal pipe diameter is but they haven't got back to me.

You can see that i've highlighted in red the area i'm trying to figure out if it's 89.9mm (3.5"inches) to see if it will fit my exhaust.

Anyone have any ideas or experience?

I think it says 67mm. You may have to go for the round slip on ones, the 80mm should be close to sliding inside the 3.5 inch pipe and the 95mm would be the only choice for larger than 3.5 inch, it would need adapters on each end. Perhaps you could hide it inside the cat body?

I believe pipe diameters are quoted as "inside diameter". So a 3.5" pipe has an internal diameter = 3.5".

this would make sense as different materials used for making exhausts would have different thicknesses depending on how strong they are

Ah well, i just ended up ordering this one

Fingers crossed it fits, i'll post back here to let others know because it was seriously painful getting the right answers anywhere.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
