and as a heads up a cheap supercheap cannon as a rear muffler are pointless, barely reduces noise, will alter the exhaust note to be more "raspy" which unless your a Honda lover is usually undesirable lol, and if you go to big ie anything bigger than a 4" tip people will laugh at you.

just my opinion its your car man build it how u like, still keen to see a video of the cars exhaust :)

sorry dude i didn't realise it already had a catback. resonators actully help an exhaust more than people realise as they reduce resonance wich helps a lot with the horrible drown skylines seem to have at around 2000 rpm.

If I put a Varex muffler on this which bypases the noise through smaller holes packed with god knows what to quiten it down, would I still be able to take them out?, I got one put in and I hardly heard a difference

most mufflers are packed with fiberglass, i can imagine the varex one would be to different. Personally i have no experience with the varex kits, but I've herd cars with them and when the internal valve is closed i wasn't a fan of the sound, deffinatly quiter but.

I would rather have an exhaust that has a nice note and volume all the time, rather than having something loud and raspy when open and muffeled to high hello when closed. I'm sure there'd be a thread on varex products on here somewhere.

The only reason I look at this option is because I have been told by transport my car is too loud before which is why the stocks on it atm so I thought that would be a good idea and i've heard you can get a good sound from them when opened up

Yeah definate, well My muffler dealer (Local Muffler dealer) said he could install one (A large some of money) and it would be legal. They also install them onto new R8's and XR8's. So i'd hope they're.

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

Se the wire connection on the end of the pipe from the CAI, the grey and the brown plug going into the black box, what is that for?

home made varex still isn't legal. any muffler with some form of variable restrictor has to be tested at it's loudest, which is why the varex aren't legal.

moral of the story: don't be another one of those dopey P plate skyline owners driving around with a stupidly loud exhuast that sounds like arse (to everyone but you) giving the skyline community a bad name.

can't wait for school holidays to be over.........

yer i didn't think they were legal, and hey hey hey I'm on my ps and my na skyline isnt that.... wait a minute yer its pretty loud, but on the down side i lose kebab points for not having a cannon lol.

Eh gay, it doesn't have any ABS, why would there be something in place of the 30Amp slots in the fuse box then?

My NA has fuses for ABS, ATTESSA & HICAS, none of which it has.

If you want a Varex or something similar try to source a GTS25 Type S factory exhaust. Rear muffler has a butterfly in it. You could always try your luck with the Varex and if cop pulls you up say your car is a Type S and so came with an exhaust with a butterfly as standard.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
