Hey all, how's it going?

Been floating around the forums for a while now and thought it was time to introduce ourselves and ask for a little bit of help.

Our names are Drew and Jess. We live with Veilwest and Ozcan so its a very Nissan friendly household with Ozcan's black on black R34 GTT, Veilwests widebody S15 and our R32 GTR. Currently the GTR is a little dead (spun a bearing :pwned: ) so thats the main reason for not introducing ourselves a little earlier lol. It was only on the roads of Canberra for 1 day before it shat itself so unlikely its been spotted driving around but may have been spotted while on the back of a tow truck once or twice.

It's gunmetal grey with a gold pearl to it (Ask Eiji, its hot lol). Very pretty but very dead lol. Still love the car, its in the process of being fixed so hopefully we'll be able to meet up with everyone before the end of the year.

Anyway, back to asking for a little bit of help....

I gave my dad (Drew's dad) my old R32 GTS when me and Jess bought the GTR so he's currently in the process of trying to get a roadworthy sorted. I only owned the car for close to a year so i never ended up swapping the rego over because by the time rego ran out we would have our GTR. Basically the exhaust that the previous owner put on it is ridiculously loud and failed roadworthy, so I'm wondering if anyone here has a stock or quiet catback exhaust for an R32 that would pass roadworthy that me and my dad would be able to buy or borrow for a couple of days at some point to pass roadworthy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :thanks:

Cheers guys,

Drew

Have contemplated fitting another muffler, its something we're considering at the moment but got quoted today $320 to make it 100% legal. Haven't had a chance to shop around for quotes yet but does $320 sound a bit steep?

yeah it's stainless.

the setup it has at the moment is completely stock from engine to cat and then stainless 3inch from cat back. even with the silencer in it it's still to loud and has the worst sound lol.

good to know that $320 is pretty average though, might ask dad if he wants me to go halves with him to help him out

$300 a day, really? thats insane lol.

$320 really doesn't sound so bad anymore. Hoping to get everything sorted by end of next week but we'll just get another week permit if thats not possible. He also got told that both front suspension upper ball joints (i think thats what its called. the bit at the bottom of the upright where the front hubs pivot) have play in them and it got failed on that too. he got quoted $1600 to fix it all but thats with getting brand new uprights from nissan. I've got another pair of front uprights/hubs at home so this weekend im thinking of swapping those ones in to see if its any better. it's not possible to just tighten the bolt to fix the play unless the bolt is already loose correct?

if you understand what im trying to describe lol.

Cheers

As a general rule of thumb, I've noticed exhausts come in multiple parts:

Dump pipe

Front pipe

Cat converter

Cat back (upto almost the axle)

Muffler section

If course this is just for single muffler systems - or at least mine.

The exhaust on dads 32 is in 2 parts from the cat to the end. Cat to about half way (rear axle ish) is straight through, no muffler/resonator type thing, connected to the rear section by a 2 bolt flange, then from that flange there's maybe 2 feet of pipe which curves to go under axle then welded to the rear muffler which is a cannon/hotdog type jobbie. 3inch from cat to the end

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
