Hi guys

Just put my 90mm ti exhaust on and running an 80mm ss milltek non-res midpipe with oem cats

The exhaust didnt really add much to the sound i was getting from the midpipe only - if anything its only increased the volume slightly which was somewhat expected given it's an identical layout to the oem setup

So now im thinking of jumping in the deep end with catless dp's and perhaps playing it safe with a resonator'd 90mm ti midpipe to take the edge off

For those running catless dp's, and im pretty sure there's a good handful of you now, how loud is it now that you've lived with the car

Is there any boom or resonance coming in through the transmission tunnel or nvh at certain rpms? Can you tell you're running catless when idle'ing or in auto mode shifting below 2k?

And lastly, are you getting a build up of carbon on the rear bumper?

I found this vid on the tube and like the sound, but it's hard to tell how loud it is inside the cabin

If you want the big angry sound, more flow and performance you do NOT have to go without cats.

Most R35's are fitting 3" catless dumps.

Mercury Motorsport made me a set of 3.5" catted dumps with very big high flow cat bricks.

When you look through the cat, you are looking clean through the brick to the other side.

The Dyno has proven they flow the same and maybe slightly more than the 3" catless dumps.

Not to mention it is nice to have your cake (power & sound) and able to eat it too (CLEAN EXHAUST & LEGAL).

The 3.5" catted dumps with my full Willal Racing Titanium exhaust system sound awesome.

The in cabin noise does get very noticable, however by wrapping the entire system with Titanium tape the NVH cabin noise noticeably dropped off. I use the car as my daily driver and find the in cabin noise OK.

I also recommend a competition air intake system (Like AAM System), big jump in power and a really cool growly induction noise with an audible turbo shrill.

thanks for the feedback mate, ill look into hfc downpipes

my midpipe is 3" at the downpipe so would go with aam's hfc downpipes

i have the full Top Secret intake and turbo inlet pipes - installing them over the weekend

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
