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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
