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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
