I’ve heard your a bit of a bender
Am now, folded a few things up to show it off. Haven't worked on a bender for 18yrs but the principles and practices are still the same. 8 x metal thickness. Annealing aluminium. Blah blah. Sheety:-)
well, the std pipe is a fkn wierd bit of kit with a massive traingular box section hanging off the back of the muffler - there to keep it flat at the back for the pillion I assume, but that is no longer an issue, so
I am thinking about 350-400mm in length, need to have an inlet to take 1 3/4' pipe. Gotta have a nice thick casing, as its going to have lugs welded direct to the case
Probably best to step it up from 1 3/4" to 2" into the muffler. :-) 44.45mm to 50.8mm we should have the reducers at work. Or I can make one. The magnaflow would be a 2" I/d. From memory and 304 s/s construction.?

1.6mm body thickness on the 304 s/s magnaflow 2" I/d So u could mount it off 4" accuseal clamps adapted, aluminised steel. Suss out the magnaflow website and epe website. Check what you need. I would recommend 2" I/d 4" o/d muffler 16" long. Will remove any high end frequency and make it sound low down. Cost price.

It would just need reinforcing-pads or you could call it a skin welded to the muffler then you build off of that.:-) like a bit of heavy equipment with lifting lugs. Or we could skin the whole muffler with heavier material.

Mounting hoops or clamps would be the way to go with it. To save on weight and not stress out the muffler body.

A couple of barrel hoops on one of hose 4" diam flat black race series round body ones would look absolutely tits, and exactly the sort of rat look i want. Chuck lots of exposed weld seams on the rest of the pipework, ceramic coated flat black as well, and done!

will sort out a part number etc and PM you for a price

Cool.

So this is what I had done today. She the cars aircon works finally!. Ice cold. Piggy back ECU is in with a stock tune but the cars now backfiring and idling really rough so in going to have to take it back next week and get it looked into.

Now wind the boost to the moon!!!
Not everyone enjoys winding the boost up to 26psi cause they can with water/methanol injection till it spins all the way through third on sticky tyres. Xcept you.[emoji41] Animal. Hand full of opposite lock at 130km. Trevs.

Yeah mines a pain in the ass with the a/c on. I pulled and cleaned the Iacv (was pretty clean) and tested the idle up solenoid. Worked no probs but after research is the Iacv is blocked off because of the nistune. Clutch was siesed in the a/c compressor so put a new one on and got a re-gas. I've re-set the idle to 900rpm. But it drops to 550 when the thermo cuts in not the a/c compressor clutch. It only stalls if you have to brake hard or on and off the clutch pedal at the lights. If only we knew a auto electrician to the stars? Probably busy on a 3000hp CAT. Or building a mansion down south.

Yeah well im gonna ring Mark (C-Red) tomorrow and let him know whats happening and see what he thinks?

How did she run to and from Alcoa today?

Flawlessly

Actually the spare was upside down and rumbled constantly. With no amps I had nothing to listen to other than Zorst, Spool and rattle/rumble

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
