Just to shove a spanner in the works, I measured a set of HKS equal length pipes and found... They weren't equal anyway, there was 5 inches extra on the front turbo pipe.

Anyone have any other brands laying about to check?

I just assumed it was HKS due to the catback being HKS. There are no markings.

Ah yep. Looks like a hks sort of design. But just like midori or the "new" apexi designs the are not equal length.

Those reimax are pretty elaborate. I'll get a pick of the racepace ones. They look the best.

That looks like a Trust front pipe.

Here are two vids that demonstration of the difference in sound that the Mines front pipe makes.

That is the only difference between the two vids

...

apart from being inside, and from a different distance and angle...

Curves apear alot tighter than the jap brands, which as scotty has been saying, will restrict flow.

It may be tighter, but most jap pipes are peanut sizes. I don't think I've ever see a twin 3 inch into a single 4 inch off the shelf from ping pong land.

If you want to talk about a 3 inch "tight" bend restricting the exhsust, have a good look at the 2 inch turbo inlet pipes that bolt to the comp housing. At the smallest point they're about 1.7 inches (It can be fixed by welding it up and grinding the inside out). What about the tight bend in the dump pipes? Bigger fish to fry than a huge set of front pipes.

^^^ Hahaha. So good!

Anywho. If we all wanted power and cared so much about restriction the we would bolt on a single have a 5" dump straight out the bonnet.

And I really find the jap pipes to not care about ground clearance. They just hang there like dingle berries.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
