Guys,

This is what I'm currently planning to get for my 33 gtr - any suggestions and advice, if something with this setup is NQR, I would appreciate.

  • xforce front pipes - 2.5" into a 3.5", stainless
  • 3.5" xforce cat, stainless
  • 3.5" cat back with the middle muffler, mild steel
  • xforce muffler 3.5" into twin 3" outlets, stainless

Got a fairly reasonable quote so am considering getting it, middle section is mild steel mostly to save some $$$.

have you done you dump pipes?

what kind of flow does the xforce cat flow? 200cfm, 400cfm or more?

try get the front pipes in mild steel, no need to be fancy under there

Ho, have not done the dumps yet. Was just thinking of leaving them stock. Good idea/bad idea?

Those front pipes are off the shelf in stainless, made by xforce, otherwise I'd get them in mild steel too. This exhaust place was saying that they can make them out of mild steel, but I was just worried about them getting the lengths correct. Should I worry about it or not?

I threw a 3.5" Xforce cat in my R32 GTR along with Trust front pipes 70mm into 80mm, and straight away made a big difference to the mid range even with the standard turbos that were on at the time. I got the cat from Just Jap and they say they flow at 880cfm. Not sure how that converts into cells per square inch (CSPI) though. Is there a conversion?

Don't bother with the dumps until the time comes to swap out the turbos, bit of waste of time and effort - alot of effort, considering the end result is of no big gain.

How modified is your GTR?

Don't bother doing dump pipes, stock are fine (I made 302rwkw with stockers).

If you want to do dumps, do it when turbos are out, just to make install easier.

Its not modified at all, stock as except for K&N airfilter element - and yes I'm thinking if I ever get some -7's then I'd do the dumps, until then stockies remain.

good idea, theres alot of other things to do first that will give better and easier gains.

Right now I'm thinking fitting that exhaust, then boost the stock turbos a bit more than the current 11psi, but not crazy high to see them break apart - I'm thinking 15psi.

Then get the adjustable cams and get the ignition timing adjusted on the dyno. Since I already have K&N I think this should make my baby breathe much easier and go much better.

I know its power will not be anywhere near most other GT-R's on this forum but I'm hoping for a 180-200kW at the wheels - if I'm lucky :whistling:

If you are only getting -7's why not stick with a 3inch? It will flow enough for the -7's and at the same time you could build a nice quiet exhaust which is a lot easier to do than in 3.5 inch.

I'm not really planning to get -7's in the next 12-18months.

Reason why I'm going 3.5" is since xforce kit is 3.5" front pipe.

Do you think that even with the suitable mid-muffler and large twin outlet rear muffler this exhaust will be much louder than the 3"?

Two decent mufflers in any system, even 3.5", is usually enough to maintain a respectable noise level.

Start removing mufflers on the other hand and the real RB noise starts to show :D, which is the route I took:

- I went from a 3" mandrel bent system that had a small hotdog plus a rear cannon and changed it to a Veilside 3.5" JASMA which actually made it quieter (EPA tested at 91db) because of the two monster mufflers it had. Then I got sick of the over-muffled noise and got rid of the centre muffler and that has given a nice balance of relative quietness during cruising plus a good "bark" when its punching holes in the horizon!

Would have gone Blitz all the way from the front pipe to the tip but Xforce isn't a bad Aussie product.

Changing the front pipe on a tuned SR makes a difference apparently but not sure on an RB. Xforce do make a metallic 100 cell cat in a 3" setup, don't know about 3.5" though.

Either way, you enjoy your setup mate. If noise is a concern either throw in on nice big muffler box and / or an Apexi ECV 95mm. If you're game try one of those velocity pipes that have a smaller diameter but flow better with pressure.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
