probably cause we both know it's easier laughing at an idiot then arguing with them

My 2c By the same logic applied above, people who have shelled out $000's on front pipes or equal length pipes will "convince" themselves there is a positive difference in order to justify the spend

Mines achieved something, they achieved the placebo effect, just watch their r34 "response monster" video it's a laggy dog with really really short diff gears in it

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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
