Hey Guys,

Just about to have the 34 back on the road and before it was super loud. So loud it annoyed me and my mates driving around me. I have 3" maybe 3.5" RSR exhaust. Straight through from a 3076. Now I should get a cat, I probably won't, but will it help reduce the noise level by much? Will a mid muffler help alot and what is a good one to get and to get it installed......

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You'll probably find a cat helps a lot, it will get rid of the annoying drone. My car is damn loud (Custom Kermit 3" straight cut job), but it's a nice loud and doesn't get annoying. I have a 5" body Venom cat.

u need to have a cat coz if u dont u risk getting a yellow sticker and supposodly get a huge fine

FYP.

A "friend of a friend of mine" has been running decats on all his cars and is yet to get a yellow for it even after being pulled over for inspections quite a few times. thumbsup.gif

And Russian Roulette is a fun game until you get the wrong chamber ;)

had a bashed out cat and a 3" pipe with only a cannon, i think i can understand what you mean about loud. get a proper exhaust

just get a cat back system off of justjap or something, they should be legal and you can fit it yourself if you know how to twirl a spanner or worst case have a grinder.

i've got a 3.5" kakimoto system (secondhand not of justjap because i'm a cheap c***)

My R34 was very loud as well will 3" and high flow cat then got yellow for POD and not having a mash for FMIC.

After i went to pits i had to engineer my car just cbf replacing all parts with stock, cost me like 2gs (install second cat retune car + engineer and pits extensions).

had to put complacence cat so i can pass 5 gas test now i have 2 cats and the car is much quieter on 15psi 360rwhp.

After i get my yellow off was thinking to get "hotdog" or resonator to replace second cat and also replace my 5" Cannon with varex.

any of you running varex mufflers any good?

I haven't had a cat on the car since the day I bought it. It has been on my to do list but you know until I got caught it probably wasn't going to happen...... May just bite the bullet and get it done.

How does engineering all the work in the car go. I'm probably not gonna last long on the road as I'm running a 25/30 with highmount 3076, Intercooler, Oil Cooler, Catch Can, Plazmaman Plenum and some other stuff. Does it just cost monies and time or if I take it there asking them to have a look am I going to be asking for trouble?

My exhaust is a proper exhaust by the way just super loud........

If it's done properly, all that stuff is easily passable.

Sweet as. I've had it all built and assembled by my builder, of course..... So i guess I'll take it through and see how I go. So what do you do make an appointment at the pits and have them check it and sign off on it?

R34mobster what cat did you use for gas5 test

just standard compliance cat at imports 101 don't know the BRAND name.. $100 i believe and labour $165 + had to retune my car $550 was running bit lean then gas test $150 -$250 engineer 450 so it adds up.

it all depends who you get at pits to inspect your car i had mine low mounted on 6boost,plazmaman plenum and koyo radiator all shine bits and blow off was plumed back .

it took me 3 1/2 months to engineer the car, it's not that easy to engineer the car it a long process.

25/30 nice how much power u running at the moment ? is it huge difference from 25 neo? was planning to go that path if you don't mind me asking how much did it all set u back. you can pm rough figures.

was thinking of selling my r34 i can get a VE GTS from friend for good price. i still love my r34 would not sell it i have spent heaps on $$$$$ decisions, decisions, don't know what to do i have to coz i travel a lot by car so want something more comfy.

I haven't got it running yet, just picked it up yesterday but I'll let you know how it goes. I was running 400bhp with my 25 Neo before with the same mods so we'll see how we go :)

I'm just going to have to give the engineering a go and see how it pans out. I was just worried that if I took the car to the pits and they didn't like it if they could sticker or flag it themselves......... I'll PM you costs

I've taken a few modified cars to get inspected before (v8 instead of 6, turbo conversions, engine swaps etc) without getting approvals or anything prior.

Usually they are pretty happy as you are doing the right thing (if not the right process) by taking it to them. I haven't had a problem before, only a bit of a grumble.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
