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!!!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
