I need some advise I am going to get a muffler fitted and maybe a extra one. All that I have on the skyline at the moment is a 3" straight from the turbo to the back. It's too loud. What do you recommend to put in. Also I don't want it too quiet

Can you weld? Do you have a welder?

I had 3" turbo back with cat and 3" straight through muffler and was fine.

Changed to bigger turbo and it was terribly loud. Replaced muffler to bigger one and fitted 3" resonator inline. It's now bearable but on long drives my kids get headaches in the back. Not loud enough to attract attention unless heavily accelerating/decelerating

This is what i was gonna say, weld in a resonator and muffler 

It's missing a cat too. I can weld but I don't have the tools available here so I'll just take it to the shop. I'll ask them to fit a muffler and a resonator. What brands are you guys running. I don't know if I can be bothered with a cat

Anything would do the job on a budget, u can get a full system on ebay for 300 bucks


Yer I wasn't worried about cost just wanted something to last and something with a nice note.


I ebayed muffler and resonator separately. Then got a shop to put it all together.

Get a metal intake pipe... You won't care about exhaust note when spool sounds heavenly and twice as loud

Agreed, but its convenient for cruise tuning.

I'd rather egt than wideband

 

True, its hard to find something that is accurate. I find cars that are tuned on dynos can be reli rich and they use wide band. Iv seen cars with on board wide bands show 11 and a dyno centre show 12 doesnt seem like alot but it is

I tried 2 cheap EGT's on my ute that both failed quickly. Got one from an industrial engine used in mining applications.

Apart from being built stronger it reads up to 100C differently

Cant beat industrial!!!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
