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?

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
