Hello,

I have been noticing the past couple of weeks when I have been outside my car while people take off and go for a drive in it, it sounds like a muffled kind of 'farting' (Was the best way to describe it) noise. It sounds sort of sloppy, not a clean straight sound like I hear from other skylines.

Is there any chance I can get some videos on this thread of other peoples RB25DE's taking off from the outside to see if it's not just me.

My exhaust system is a 2.5 inch Cat-back from memory which features a stock muffler on the back (Only because my neighbours hate the noise). My exhaust also has 3 resantors, I was wondering which part of the exhaust would be making this noise, from my understanding I thought 3 resantors were too many (Just too quiet xD) also would it be the stock muffler, although I think I remember it doing it with my 3.5 inch mangaflow on the car as well.

Any posts/ideas will help :)

Thank you

Brendonams

Why don't you post a video of your car so we can hear what it sounds like, not others post a video of theirs for you, as you have already described its not a clean sound like from other skylines.

I am no exhaust expert but I would have definetly said its the stock rear muffler and 1-2 too many resonators.

I will be back and will be able to in a week, I've even tried without the muffler and it still makes the sound, sort of a sloppy while increase in revs, il def take a video asap. I'm also taking it up to my friends soon to hoist it up and have a look at taking the res's out.

Hey, would you say the 'farting' sound, sounds like a rasp or a rattle? My car has the same symptoms where this noise starts around 2800-3000 rpm and will fade around 4500-5000 rpm. I have noticed that this noise dies down a bit after the car has warmed up. I noticed this sound before I changed the exhaust system (was stock exhaust) but installing a catback only amplified this sound

It's really hard to make an example of the sound, once I get back il take a movie of it. It may just be how a N/A RB25 sounds but I was just here to wonder. If you hear a turbo skyline take off the whole way through it sounds clear and clean, but when mine does for 2800-3000 to 4000-5000 it sort of makes a sound like it's loosing air, it sort of slightly shutters like the airflow is sloppy but I will get back and see.

That's because the exhaust of a Turbo Skyline is plugged into the turbo. whistling.gif

Also one more quick question, I have a 93 r33 gts, the under bonet fuse box has a resistor or something for "ABS" 30 amps, there are two of these, after a unhelpful google search I was left to wonder does this mean it has ABS? I thought ABS was only brought in on s2 or later models?

I have locked my car up once in the wet when a driver pulled in front of me and no ABS system seem to of activated.

i think s1 had is as an option and so they all had the fuse locations. if there is an alloy box at the back of the engine bay with brake lines going into it then you have abs.

you can see it here behind the power steering reseviour

hey man, as far as natro exhausts sound they are noticably different to the turbo equivalent (even if the base engine is the same) so i wouldn't worry to much if thatd what your comparing the sound to.

as for the exhaust its been coverd many times just run a search. IMO get your local exhaust shop to bend you up a mandrel bent 2 1/2 inch system with a resonator and one or two mufflers (depending how loud/drowny you want it

)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
