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.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
