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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
