My super drager was buggered in the cannon, all rusted and crumpled some how.. Causing a restriction enough to hold back a 12psi actuator to 8.5psi. Cut it open cleaned it out so its hollow but its very droney now lol :down:

I've got a hks super drager on my 32 and it isn't loud at all. I may go down the path of removing the mid muffler to a resonator to get Abit more sound out of it.

Thought long and hard about doing this to mine as well.. but it is nice not being stung every time I get to take it for a drive.

LOL

Not only chicks,

I like to hear my turbo and whether the engine is pinging.

Also it is nice to listen to the radio.

A noisy exhaust doesn't cut it .. nor does a dump-valve ;)

The chicks love the quiet exhausts. Then they think they can talk the whole time ur driving

Just to recap on the topic

I installed the exhaust and it is quite loud :(

There's a heavy low rpm drone which is more behind the car than in the car.

I got a lot of angry looks from people at bus-stations (if you know what I mean)

It's a bit much for city driving, and I will try to get the drone down with one of these mini silencers.

I suspect the exhaust is so noisy since I have no CAT installed ...

Its noisy cause there practically no muffler, a rear cannon like that will do nothing if its straight thru.. its not much different to having just a straight thru pipe on the end...

I used to have the exact same on the back, now i got a proper muffler and still make the power and it actually sounds alot nicer..

Which muffler did you get?

I found this one ...

Maybe worth a try (I'd get it cheaper)

a cat and a middle resonator/small sized muffler will help out a lot.

i cant say if that one will help much, i would guess it wouldnt cause it looks smallish...

I have a 3 1/2inch system with hotdog resonator and a 3inch X force muffler ( large oval) , the muffler is semi straight thru and forces the exhaust into it to muffle the noise , but obviously its flowing great cause it made well over 300kw..

I think you would be happy with a similar setup, it has a nice muffled , tough note thats quiet enough to hear your radio without dronning. can hear it in my thread on the dyno...

on my GTT i had a Hypergear OP6 Highflow and a R33 Super Dragger :), R34 is slightly shorter, so it only needed a little modifications. Mine was very quiet, running a CAT obviously (you're stupid not to) and i THINK there was maybe another section in there that's different to yours.

when idling i'd get people asking me if my car was on :D - but had a nice note, didn't drone and flowed well enough for the situation.

Thanks,

I removed the CAT 3 years ago, it's common practice here since (older) JDMs can get away with it.

(Removing that CAT actually made a big difference, so why is that stupid?)

Also my car was tested for emissions recently and it was all to plan, no complaints.

However I am considering getting a high cell count CAT.

I am certain that would also solve the noise issue ..

must of had a silencer somwhere.. cannons will never be quiet.. not like that..

put a high cell cat and you'll take some edge of it, better off with a 100cell cat or no cat, and a good sized oval proper muffler, semi straight thru

Yep, I agree a 100%, cannons will always be on the louder side.

(especially when they are 3.5'' in diameter)

As for the CAT if I could find one with a 3'' flange that would be great.

The standard CAT is just 60mm (3''=76.2mm)

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By tidi0x · Posted

      I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.

      Single Turbo Conversion Lines.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
