My mate at the compliance shop is helping to fit it as he does it fairly regularly and knows the tricks.

i bet he does it regularly to many cars other than an M35. wait till he tells you he has given up :P

anyway the dump looks good!. its gonna help the turbo breathe!

Well considering he has to change the dump and front pipes with Australian complied cats for the compliance process, I think it is.

Not sure is the workshops actually do this in other states as they should be!

not for the dump cat. just because its not approved by our Regulations desnt mean they get rid of it. just means they'll put another cat which IS approved somewhere in the front pipe. not having a go, just hope your not expecting the world from compliance lol

Having seen what gets replaced I know what he does. It is a dump and front in one with new cats in it. Not just replacing the front pipe, both get replaced for compliance. This must be done for compliance. If the workshops don't and they get a surprise audit on the car (it happens Ive been at his workshop when the inspector was there) there will be trouble. Ill get a pic of the set up today while Im there.

IMO the dump pipe is not that hard to do.....it's just knowing how to do it.

I'm not a mechanic and I figured it out....just took a little longer the first time.....but there are imo a couple of little tricks which make it a lot easier....and becasue that dump pipe is so similar to Scott's imo it should not be a hassle.

Once he has fitted the compliance dump/front with cats and the car has gone for it's ID inspection we are then fitting the s/steel dump (no cat) and s/steel front pipe (200cpsi cat) to the car. Hopefully it will go for ID inspection by the end of this week.

A pic of the dump is in this thread on first page. It's 3" dump and front but ha e to keep the stock cat back. The wife won't let me fit a cat back to it, it has to stay quiet.

I'm just trying to do as many mods as I can (without her knowing) to improve low and mid torque as im not aloud to modify anything else. It's a sad life, lol

Yeah normally I go buy something with out her knowing, get it home and un pack it and set it up, then it's too late to return. I'm lucky to be getting away with a set of Tanabe coilovers, she's not happy about that. I told her the stock shocks are shagged.

Just get the Blitz NUR.

Same volume as stock (82dB) whereas all others are 88dB+.

Yes, but since the reason stated was "noise", I figured that the Blitz would be more suitable.

not trying to get into an argument with you.

but the size of exhaust i think would be just as noticable to his wife.

fujitsubo sort of looks stock, and is quiet. and cheap. win/win/win

Actually we all reckon the overall noise levels went down with the Blitz system. Intake noise was reduced heaps, so the in cabin levels were much quieter, at least whilst cruising. Even when giving it a bit, the noise is more pleasant, less Dyson more, erm, car.

But I agree with Aaron, the tail pipe look too big - & my wife wasn't too pleased at first but is over it now lol. I still get a bit embarrased driving it around sometimes as I'm more into stealth, tho my 14yo son thinks it's too small.

The Fujitsubo would be a good compromise between stockish looks & not too much more noise. I wish I had your outlet on my exhaust.

the kaki R I went with was a win for me.

suprisingly not TOO loud, free flowing, and after taking the gay tip cover off, it came up awesome

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
