Hi,

I'm getting an exhaust custom made for my GTR atm and wasn't sure whether its supposed to be 3.5" ID or OD. The exhaust shop I'm using only carry 3.5" OD exhaust pipe which makes it around 85 - 86mm ID.

Would I be better off getting them to make me a 4" OD system?

Its an RB26 with GT2860-5's

Thanks,

Michael.

one of my best mods was going from a twin 60mm into 70mm front pipe and 76mm cat back to Twin 76mm into 90mm front pipe and 90mm cat back

resulted in a 70kw midrange gain and much much better response

Is that a full custom system or off the shelf jap exhaust? I'm going down that path very soon, full custom system. Will be interesting to see my results.

i made the cat back myself, no step downs, mendral bends, one 3.5" straight through mid muffler and 3.5" rear muffler.

yes around 60-70kw midrange gain, and made boost come on MUCH sooner....we stopped (well i did and jez called me a pu@#y lol) at 340rwkw as i didnt want to push any further

Hey, thanks for the replies, I ended up getting 2 custom 3.5" mufflers made and I'm going for a 3.5" system. Front pipes will be twin 3" into single 3.5".

i like your side skirts. what are they?

Apparently they were top secret side skirts but i never seen another pair.

Thanks,

Mike.

so either you had the most restrictive exhaust known to mankind or i smell furfies

these are figures both done on jezs dyno....what benefit do i have in lying?

i had alot of step down, even going from 3" dumps down to 60mm front pipes, hence i upgraded the front pipe and made a genuine 3.5" cat back

anyways good move going 3.5" cat back for 350kw :)

Pipe uses ID nominal bore measurements which is N/A for an exhaust, tube and exhaust tube is measured by the OD.

3.5" tube will be fine, 4" is a pain in the ass for ground clearance when you add in a muffler.

no, it is not a pain. and, the muffler is not the lowest point on the exhaust.

no, it is not a pain. and, the muffler is not the lowest point on the exhaust.

Like myself and many others, the OP is using two custom 3.5" mufflers on a 3.5" system. "Add in a muffler" as in mid muffler, it becomes a pain in the ass for legal hight. 4" becomes a total pain in the ass.

I hope this clears things up.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
