Hey guys just trying to see how many of u run external gate setups in ur daily drivers or regular use skylines.

Please say:

• what gate u running,

•if its plumbed back/screamer

•if u been defected.

Reason being im trying to decide if I should stay internal or run the risk of going ext gate on my daily R34 and risk defects, since I want to go screamer- actually I hate screamers but saw a coupla instances on the Kando thread that plumb backs reduced power considerably, hence no advantage of going external other than better boost control.

I hope you get a screamer, get defected and have your car crushed so then we all can get a break from your bullshit threads and dreamer comments...

Tial 44mm gate.genuine

Screamer

Melbourne, VIC, daily driver

have put "heatshield" over it

Yes it is great for boost control, mine is a straight line on the boost plot and it definetly helps with flow.

Downside is - and this is a downside - for daily driving you have to be careful when you put ur foot down. When I overtake etc, I dont really go above 3-3.5k, dont want to look like a muppet.

I believe part of the reason I havent had issues is my car looks relatively stock and I drive pretty reserved.

If you think you will just keep gating and you know u cant control yourself you are just going to end up with headaches of removing it and fines.

If I am completely honest, if I could be bothered I would pay for a custom setup where I can plumb it back in/ make it external relatively easily instead of always external.

38 tial v band, plumbed back, certified, doesn't seem to be restricing power? screamer will attract unwanted attention and will fume the car out like the biggest purposely made exhaust leak, they're not illegal just for the noise

Depends how many times you drive around atm and get pulled over.

If you dont get pulled over where you are and dont go around on gate where there are cops then you should be fine. Just make sure you keep the piping somewhere hidden a bit and not to easy to see.

Also make sure the screamer doesn't point straight at your steering rack. Those boots don't like screamers...

To be honest, I think if you need to think about whether you want a screamer or not, then you don't want one. You can't be in two minds about it, gotta be prepared to take the consequences if you get pulled over. If just the thought of getting defected puts you off then don't do it. You're not going to lose a lot of power by having the gate plumbed back in anyway.

Seriously Ron. You got commitment issues man.

Too many variables like the suburb, town, state you live in just for a start.

End of the day it's illegal, it's only your decision if you want to run the risk or not.

True, thats why Im having two minds about it, place is Sydney metro, so high risk area it is..

is it possible for it to have its own cat? or is that practical/possible?

It's really not practical. You would have to be driving around constantly on boost with the gate open for the cat to be at operating temperature.

Illegal also because they release toxic fumes into the environment as they finish before the cat. As for noise I dont really know why bikes are getting away on the streets roarling more than three times as loud as our cars..:/

Haha, Harley's have got nothin on a screamer...

Why dont u have the best of both worlds, flexible screamer pipe that can be bolted on and off when u feel like it, i just bought one for my build, not yet installed but i thought it was a good idea

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/35mm-38mm-Wastegate-Flex-Braided-Stainless-Dump-Pipe-Kit-w-MIld-Steel-weld-Bung-/261026731797?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc667d715#ht_3166wt_1396

I would never use one. So that question is irrelevant.

Think about it logically - its a flexi pipe that looks to be no more than 15cm. So you disconnect it from the bottom (because, you wouldn't disconnect from the gate end, that's just dumb)...

Then once you do disconnect it, all you have this loose piece of flexi piping swinging in the wind to vent "externally". You'd need to fab up some sort of mounting point and so on.

It is nothing that a welded sleeve/plumb back pipe cannot do;

1. Reliably

2. Cheaper

3. Easier

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
