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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
