hi guys im after a muffler that i can put on my car, but im particularly interested in HKS, Apexi, Kakimoto and GReddy mufflers but theres no where i can find them in Australia. I called Performance Wholesale and they said they dont have any because appearently HKS USA is going into liquidation. I've checked nengun and ebay but the shipping costs are way too much for me. There are so many US websites that sell them but none of them ship to Australia :down: If anyone knows where i can get one from it'll be much appreciated, thanks!

because a skyline and those brands go together nicely :thumbsup:

Then why not buy a brand name catback instead of just a muffler? I highly doubt you will be able to save money having a workshop make the pipes for you..

Unless you plan to make one yourself.. In which case I still say get over it and buy a second hand one to save the cash lol.. I know every jap catback I've owned was uber nice.

Given the price of 2nd hand exhausts in the FS section - you'll never be able to beat it.

You can get a full cat-back for a GTS-T for the price of just a muffler almost these days :thumbsup:

I mean buying new/shiny is nice, but it's and exhaust and wont stay that way for long anyhowif you intend on driving it.

brands dont mean a huuuge deal, its the design of the muffler.

i could sell you a performance muffler that will last just as long as one of those branded ones, and make just as much power and sound just a good.

You can get unbranded stuff that is just as good and will last just as long. Just find a reputable exhaust shop that will do it for you.

Thats right!, i work in a mechanical workshop specialising in exhausts, so if anyones after anything in the newcastle area, i can help you out!

I think you'd struggle to build a 3 or 3.5" stainless steel catback exhaust system with mufflers included for less than what you can buy a Japanese branded system for wouldnt you?

My HKS Hi Power Silent only cost me $900 from Nengun shipped to NZ brand new. I think thats pretty darn reasonable.

EDIT, i just checked my order, and it was actually $835 Shipped. And your Aussie dollar is f**king ridiculous at the moment! Spend spend spend!

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
