Hype and others: pricing for the cat back systems will be determined shortly.

All I can say right now is Hi Tech deserve some big ass thanks! Pete at the Lewisham shop worked tirelessly from 7:30am yesterday morning through till 8pm trialling and making up a selection of systems with differing rear mufflers (he put all other work basically on hold), all using a large resonator to keep em quiet (ish). The dump pipe should come up quite nicely.

Long and short they have put in many many hours to develop these parts of us all.....very impressive stuff.

The slight angle muffler with 5 inch tip looks cool.. had one on my car to test....

unfortunately no photos as yet.... they are all off to the factory on monday and you will all know as soon as the first batch arrives....

Cheers

Nick

Hype : I strongly advise a resonator unless you have some points left on your license that you dont mind loosing :uh-huh:

The car will still sound good... but not as loud as most..

I am happy to be organising this.... its a time consuming thing but its great to see it working out. Without the patience of those on the forum who want these parts and the dedication of Hi tech in development it wouldnt go ahead.

I just want the system on my car.... after all... its very shiny!:P

hmm... good point BY BY..

i think id better get a resinator too..

but will it restrict the exhaust system at all??

and will it still sound good?

any ideas on how much extra the resinator will be? (im assuming its not included in the 700$ turbo to cat system..

you guys know that if you turbo upgrade then you new dump pipe generally wont fit on a hgher hp turbo cause they come with dumps to match the original engine pipe.

just a thought

anyways i have 350-400hp garret turbo with custom dump anh nizmo engine pipe (stainless) all yours for 800 bucks exchange(selling car dont need it), f*k ill even give ya the $400 7 litre cat if you want to pay for the removal, turbo and cat have beeen on for 7 mmonths

first in best dressed(sold to a nice home)externally venting BOV owners need not apply lol

syndey only please

I've got a cat back Super drager and had another straight thru muffler fitted to it near the rear diff. b/c i found it a bit loud. Now it's perfect and I wanted to get the front/dump and cat done but I don't wanna make it louder, what sort of effect will it have???

I already have a 3" stainless steel cat back exhaust on my r33, I am just wondering how much louder it will make the exhaust note with the new dump/front pipe and hi-flow cat.

Should I consider getting a resonator fitted? My exhaust is really quiet at the moment, not loud at all. So does a wider pipe from turbo back make it louder ? :rolleyes:

Any help would be appreciated as I am seriously considering getting this exhaust group buy thing done.. :mad:

Ta,

Darky.

Hey Guys,

I have another quick question :mad:

Im wanting a extremely loud exhuast for my skyline i was wondering if you could tell me which one would be best for me. Im sure you know the note that im after, not ricey but its just the sound you here when the boost comes in and you just know its a skyline.

3" mandrell bent with a 5" Tip, how would that sond ? And also when ppl say that does these include a sports exhaust.

If you would happen to know a site that would answer all these sorts of newbie questions i would be greatly appreicated.

Bucket: any good 3 inch exhaust with decent muffler and NO resonator will give you a damn loud and sexy note.

Depends what you want.

If you are in sydney loud isnt a good idea

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
