I've had a search around in the forum and on google and can't seem to find a great deal.

I've got a 32 GTR with a twin Kakimoto system on. I hate the twin cannon rears and it's a touch on the loud side. So I'm going to change the twin 70mm to a single 100mm before the rear muffler and fit a single oval 100mm muffler.

Basically I've spoke to a few muffler shops who said they couldn't get hold of a stainless one. I've done some searching myself and spoke to Xforce, they do one, but I can get a Borla or a Magnaflow for similar money from the states.

I'm a Pom and haven't heard of Xforce as we don't really get then over there. I'm just making sure they're not cheap crap because if they are I'll go for the magnaflow/Borla option

Cheers

Chris

I changed my 4 inch catback to a 3 inch catback with an x force mid and rear muffler. 4 inch was overkill and the sound was ridiculous.

I also have a 3inch turbo to cat. (HKS off the shelf whatever)

The muffler shop said it would be much more restrictive however I made the exact same power. I was expecting to lose some boost in the top end and maybe some response, but nah its the same shit.

so +1 for xforce from me

There is very little difference in any of the straight through muffler designs from my experience. It's just a perforated pipe with packing at the end of the day. Go as large as you can with the muffler body to reduce decibels, and don't go larger than you need to in pipe size.

I was running a 3 1/2inch system with a 3inch Xforce oval muffler, before that I had a 4inch nurspec ( bloody noisy), fujitsubo( quiet but 2inch restrictor) and I found the Xforce muffler great for flow and noise was perfect.

I bought second hand, and got a mild steal 3" bell-mouth dump for $60 and a stainless 3" cat-back with a large oval mid, and at the diif it ups to 3-1/2" with a short cannon for $200.

Then I bought a new catco 3" flanged cat for $175 off KMS

= brilliant quiet system for a grand sum or $435...

at least look at S/H options before you spend thousands

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
