gain performance through exhost?

easy mate, just make the piping as big as possible, 2.5" has been suggested cos its just too expensive to buy enough metal to make 5" piping. bigger piping = tons of air flying right through.

also sticking a whopping great big cannon will make your cars exhaust system be just as powerful as what the name suggests - A CANNON

your skyline will now fly

Why'd you have to correct yourself Jonno, would have been a mad troll to see a post in a few weeks showing a vid with this guys 5 inch piping on his NA.

i wasnt actually trolling, its for real, i just wanted to keep the 5" piping secret to myself so I can claim to have the fastest n/a around .. i discovered it by accident

just went on a dyno, my n/a skylinewith 5" piping made 300 rwkw ... imagine if I could afford 10" piping.

metals getting ridiculously expensive these days, especially mild steel or stainless steel for exhausts.

my secret was to melt all my mums cooking pots and pans, and just get a whopping great big PVC tube to use as the shape of the exhaust, and i just coated that in the melted steel with some baking paper underneath

when it hardened, just slid the metal tube right off (non stick baking paper!) , and there was my stainless steel exhaust system, took an empty milo can for a muffler

and hey presto, the car now breathes great and almost 300rwkw on the dyno

unfortunately now we dont have any pots or pans to cook with and we cant afford new ones with metal being so expensive

might remelt the exhaust system to make some cooking pots and just use the PVC tube as the exhaust?

baaahahahaha, if i could be bothered i'd sig that for the lulz

good idea mate, its always best to improvise, the gains you can get from being resourceful is amazing sometimes.

dont know how these aftermarket companies are still surviving when a $5 tin of milo which also gives u a very enjoyable drink gives you just as much performance as a $200 muffler - which is also basically a milo tin .. just shiny and with a brand name on it lol?

Just gets me so worked up when I see all these branded companies ripping off people who dont know any better, if I hadnt discovered this secret by accident I would have spent thousands on exhaust sytems and stuff

glad I could inform everyone else how to make a good exhaust system for cheap though!

perhaps they will stop asking about exhaust systems now that such an ideal one is available for almost nothing thumbsup.gif

Jonno, what's your verdict on say... Nescafe Blend 43 as apposed to the Milo? and do you reckon the extra 33% Blend 43 will give you 33% extra power gain, or is that just the big brand names using marketing gimmicks again? :D

Not too sure about power mate, but I think the leftover coffee aroma will be great in a muffler, the air coming from your exhaust will recirculate into the lucky guy behind you, who will get a pleasant coffee scent. imagine if we got the whole world doing this!

Coffee has a stronger smell than milo so I think you'll definitely see massive gains in aroma there, just not too sure if its worth the price difference .. is the tin about the same size as the milo one?

if you're after aroma you could probably just get home brand coffee. that extra 33% is probably more like 3% ... marketing gimicks i tell you

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
