thanks to all of u guys! im just planning to visit Carline exhaust at Gladesville tmr morning.

and anyone have an idea with MRT at Rhodes? one of ma mates said that place is good for tuning up but I couldnt find any info about exhaust at their internet site..

I think most people go with a custom made one mate,

2.5" mandrel bent - dont forget to include a few mufflers to keep the noise level down! i've got a hot dog and a resonator as well as an oval muffler on the end.

congrats on the 34 :)

Just paid deposit to Carline at Gladesville, the total cost for changing muffler is $380. It is 2.25 cannon and straight. I tried to make it cheaper thats why i chose straight, not added bent pipe for good looking.. What do u guys think about the price? Reasonable or not?

ps MRT said $700 this morning.. just a muffler..I know they are good but..the price.....

380 seems like a bit much just for a muffler change, im quite sure i paid around 200 for mine - but mine was a mild steel which is cheaper in general.

didn't you intend to change the whole system from the catback not just a muffler though?

I was going to get catback but just got penalties from RTA...... 2 penalties were around 400 altogether shit..

So I decided to change muffler only this time.. the muffler I chose was Japanese after market one so I dont wanna think about the price anymore haha........shit..

BTW Thanks to Jonno and 10 4!!

Take care with driving guys. Cheers!

save the (nearly) 400 for the muffler and wait till you can afford a full cat back - should be about 1k for a custom made one, hell i picked up a second hand one for 120 bucks with everything i needed on!

yeah tbh if i had the choice to change exhaust now i probably wouldnt do it again, especially if i bought the exhaust brand new.

as far as i can see theres not much if any noticeable difference in power, and it gets too loud at times even with all the mufflers ...

It was quite successful with changing only muffler.. the sound is still deep but as I see some comments, now i understand what u guys r talking about haha

Anyway, it was my first time to do somthing to my car. Thanks everyone! Cheers!

no probs mate, as long as you're happy with what you did our opinions are irrelevant really

the muffler will after some weeks quieten down a little bit (in my experience they all have) and your ears will be infinitely more grateful :)

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
