Exhaust help, defects?

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a Tomei Expreme Ti? Its a single exit which can be adjusted to fit the g35...

How is defecting for exhausts, anyone had any issues? I believe this exhaust is obnoxiously loud, and could attract unwanted attention, i.e the police. I have read the regulations for the exhausts here in South Aus, but i couldn't determine if it is illegal. Its very, very loud and is easy to determine as an 'aftermarket exhaust' due to its appearance. I only drive my car 3 - 4 times a week. I cannot risk a defect as all my money is in the car :4_joy:

Please let me know your honest thoughts, on if i should go with this or remain stock as i cannot risk a defect! :)

If it is indeed 'very, very' loud as you say, then you WILL get defected. Depends a lot of where and when you drive it too. Even if it was just one 'very' loud, you would be likely to get defected if you drove anywhere near town on a Saturday night or attended any of the cruises about the place where cops tend to congregate and target imports (even with quiet exhausts). Drawing unnecessary attention to yourself is not a great idea if you cannot risk a defect. Fullstop.

Do what I did and get high flow cats, a custom Y-pipe, and delete the muffler from your mid-pipe. Gives you a bit more burble and power, but is definitely not loud enough to draw unwanted attention. Go and see Andrew at AM Performance - he is the best in the business imho.

Why on earth would you change to an expensive,  noisy, defectable exhaust with no obvious benefits? Buy some better wheels and tyres or even a sound system or restaurant meals for better value for money!

If you believe the exhaust is obnoxiously loud, why are you still interested in it? Only obnoxious people (aka wankers) take interest in such items for a street vehicle. They do it because they want to be noticed. Plain and simple.

As I've said in a similar post, concerning custom exhausts:

If you want to extract as much horsepower out of your NA vehicle as you possibly can, get an Akrapovic exhaust system.

If you want a nice note that's tasteful and not obnoxious, get a Megan Racing muffler.

If you want to be a wanker, get a custom exhaust made with tips that can house a whole illegal immigrant family.

Drill holes in your muffler, or space the joints with washers. No need to spend money on titanium exhausts unless you're after instaface likes.

Well.... If the only mod is your exhaust and you get pulled over by the cops and then have to take the exhaust off, then put back on ome exhaust on for the pits. You will be slugged with the pit inspection fee which is about $80????

As long as you don't have any other problems with your car you'll be fine.

:banana:So roll with it until the day comes :banana:

You'll get over the obnoxiously loud exhaust very quickly.

Drop your catback exhaust and drive it around for a week. If you don't hate it, go deaf, or get pulled over by the popo within this time then go ahead and install the tomei.

Tomei is out of the picture then :4_joy: I think i will go custom to save peoples ears and my money. cheers :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
