Made 520whp on GT-SS.Now, I just swapped to -5, added water-meth and charge pipe.

Just wondering when the 3 inch exhaust become restrictive?

( Suck because I like the sound of mine and bought a 150$ ultra-quiet resonator as a test pipe, varex electric valve and one extra muffler, I heard that 3.5 inch exhaust sound a bit too rumbly isn't it ?)

I highly doubt it.

What fuel?

But to answer your question, normally 3inch cat back will be ok for 450hp at the wheels.

Most of the important stuff is before the cat so it depends on what you have there

I wll say it again ( I got bashed before on this forum). I don't care if ppl don't believe my number. I'm not a showoff and couldn't care less about bragging my setup/numbers online. Number are only for reference not for bragging.

Fuel is 94 octane.

So what I should do is get a Y pipe ( front pipe, we call it?) 3.5.. TRY to find a resonator 3.5 inlet and 3.0 outlet. That will be the hard part.

Going up and down .5" doesn't really need different flanges. I.e. you can bolt 3" to 3.5" so long as the bolt holes are in the same spot. I'd imagine it would flow a bit better with matching flanges though...

Well it matters how much HP you ACTUALLY make because you are asking how much HP your exhaust can handle.

If you make more HP than you should be able to on the pipes you have then nothing you are told is going to mean shit

What mph does it run at the drag strip?

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
