None of the jap systems will be over track noise limits. You'll be fine.

Racespace or Rob Sabbadin will be able to do a custom system for similar price i would image. Call em.

Imo there is little difference between the two u have mentioned. HKS has a nice note on GTST.

Thanks for the advice all - now I have like 3-4 different avenues to pursue - oh well, its all fun :cheers:

  • 2 weeks later...

Have you looked inside to confirm?

They often have internal baffles, most of the Jap ones I've seen come through have them. Both my jap ones over the years have.

"3.5" exhaust, but with internal baffles around the 3"-2.75"

Well, I went and got myself a brand new Apexi N1 Pro for an unreal cheap sum of $690 from Ark Design.

Its dimensions are following - 3" flange then its 3.5" piping into the centre muffler - from there it goes to 3.75" all the way into the back muffler which is 3.5"........ Is it gonna be loud - probably. Will I need Apexi ATS - probably, but lets see how loud its first

I also got some Blitz front pipes 2x70mm into an 80mm, and a 3" ceramic cat.

It's not going to be too loud. Just right. Do you drive it everyday? If so, yes it will be a little loud on the road, but perfect on the track.

lol at this thread, GTR owners are a different breed. It's a stock engine that sees track days...it is not going to see over 300rwkw.

I don't drive it everyday - but few times a week - hoping it will sound nice down at PI main straight :rolleyes:

This thing will probably never see 300rwkw.

Did look into custom 3.5" - price was $3,500:

So here is the questionaire, what would I make more power with:

A: 3.5" custom exhaust and stock turbos - total mods cost = $3,500.

B: this exhaust setup and a pair of -7's - total mods cost = $3,500.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this. I know, with option B I'd need new fuel pump and some injectors but value for money custom exhaust just was not making any sense.

Saw your results in the dyno thread, so how does the exhaust sound? am thinking of getting one for my gtst.

Its reasonably noisy - not too bad, there is a bit of booming in the cabin but I don't think its too bad. Ground clearance in the middle of the car is really good but looks like its slightly less where the middle muffler is located. Fit and finish seemed 1st class - definitely a value-for-money...and it doesn't seem like it hurt the power output too much either :cheers:

does your muffler have a restrictor inside? is it a hotdog resonator? cause i just fitted a nur spec muffler and its terribly noisy and dronning from idle til about 2500rpm.

No restrictor inside the back muffler - just a 3.5" pipe.

Centre muffler is not hotdog style - its a fullsized muffler as can be seen on the picture,

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
