aye?

I don't get what you mean Mat.. it's a 6 bolt flange plate that has a pipe welded to it and goes to a 2x bolt flange before the cat...

I is confusion :unsure:

:laugh:

Actually it is a muffler just in a round cannon shape! The big body on it muffles sounds really well.

ah k my bad, mine came with my car just assumed....

HKS Super Dragger by far is the most quiet exhaust I've heard on a Skyline.

It consists of 1x resonator, 1x mid muffler and 1x rear muffler. It might be huge, but it's quiet. It's more quiet that the HKS Hi Power Silent, etc...

I recommend for you:

- JJR dump pipe (cheap as shit)

- Venom Cat 3" pipe / 4" body

- 2nd hand Japanese, JASMA catback

Won't need a FMIC for 0.8 bar of boost. The R34 SMIC is more than sufficient.

this is pretty much what ive gone for,

when i went to get a roadworthy though the mid muffler was removed, had a hole in it and was making my car too low

later on went with

jjr front dump

and spoke with the guy from venom and ended up with they 5" body 100cell i think

but i did have an issue with mine and my brothers (we bought 2 of the cats) was told they were same on the 180 and r33

but when mine was bolted up, wouldnt fit, the frontdump had to be twisted to make the flanges meet up correctly, thought it was just an issue with mine

when my brother got his fitted, same thing although his fix was just to reflange the cat... dont know what was the issue but i did speak to him again and he said he'd recheck his cats

also reimbersed me for some of the coin for having to modify it.

but overall with that setup its still really quiet

I'd get a second hand Jap system from the wreckers, that's what I did, The HKS mufflers ive seen are basically a big hollow cannon with a restrictor inside, I have a fujitsubo muffler that's identical gives the same sound for sale, there quiet down low but get angry on WOT..

I think what your after is either a Jap system/ muffler with restrictor or a proper oval muffler on the end such as an Xforce,

what wrecker did you go to for skyline bits? Might give them a visit over the next few weeks and see if i can find one. Otherwise, i don't mind paying for a new setup...

As i said earlier, my mate got his custome made from Performance exhaust in Northmead (I've heard good things about that place) for about 1.2k for his s15.

hey it was a wrecker in brissy, slacks creek on moss st, was $200 for the catback which was a 3 1/2inch stainless system with quiet muffler, which I have for sale if interested, so pretty good value

id be reluctant to spend 1.2k on an exhaust, spend the money on an ecu and turbo the exhaust doesn't have to be fancy and shiny, theres guys selling in classified so have a look at that before wasting on a brand new system.

Edited by AngryRB

uhk yeh, been looking in the classifieds.. not too many for 34's, but i'll keep an eye out.

Not too sure where i can find a wreckers here in nsw for jap cars.. anyone know of any?

I know there's skylinespares in wetherill park, but havent had the chance to call em up yet.

SOO, i was about to buy a kakimoto regu 06&R second hand, however after reading the serial plate on it (N21354R) i realised this is a 70mm pipe, 2.5".

Just to confirm, the stock 34 GTT exhaust is 2.5" already right? Which means in buying this cat back system, I'd just be wasting my money and won't achieve any power from the same diameter pipes?

The seller posted it as a 3" system, however I'm assuming he measured only the outer diameter of the pipes.

Yeh, i'm looking at a Fujitsubo Legalis Super R at the moment.

It's 3.5" piping. Considering I don't really have any other power mods at the moment (except for a MBC), will the 3.5" piping be too big? Like, will i not gain as much power from having 3.5" than I would if i had a 3" with my current setup?

I don't plan on getting a new turbo or ECU yet, due to lack of funds, but i understand the 3.5" would be great for when i do upgrade those.

But yeh, just wondering if the 3.5 is too big for me atm, and if i will lose some gains as opposed to having a 3".

3.5 will be fine mate! Will be louder than a 3" in most cases especially being an "off the shelf" item! Be good to hear what it sounds like!

My 3" really needs upgrading but it is SO quiet i just cant justify it as its still making power!

All tube is measured outside diameter so a 3 inch system isn't actually 3 inch internally. To confuse the situation more the Japanese use metric pipe sizes, 70mm, 80mm 90mm OD while we, for some stupid reason, still use imperial measurements.

3.5 inch will be much louder than a 3 inch system but again, the Fujitsubo isn't 3.5 inch. What size do they quote, 80mm I think? If it is a Jasma system it should be very reasonable noise wise, the Legalis I had on my Stagea was almost legal Db over here.

Yep my Apexi is Jasma rated and quiet!

sweet thanks guys. It's a private seller, and he's listed the features:

3" @ Flange
3.5" Pipe Througout*
4.75" Resonator
6.5" Cannon*
5.25" Tip

Maybe he's also just measured the OD and it's really 3" ID for the pipes?

Also just wondering, will a R34 GTR exhaust system fit onto the GTT?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
