Assuming 98, 125-145fwkw, the range allowing for happy dyno but somewhere in there. 








 

Yeah 98 mate. E85 is a bit of overkill for this setup. 

I think that'll be fairly accurate. Around the 145kw mark should be achievable I think. 

 

We shall see though ?

I'm not convinced it'll be that high. Although I like your optimism! 

Back in the old PGA days there were people getting some good  numbers from p12 ve's. Particularly with a good intake manifold, sr16ve n1 cams and a good tune. It may be optimistic.. but i wont be suprised if it goes close. For your enjoyment i hope it does!

Nice.

What's the stubby thing sideways before the rear muffler? Little resonator?

Yeah, spot on, it's a tiny little 4" OD resonator 9" long from memory, exhaust is 3" so it is more or less redundant although it might help take some of the drone/rasp out of the thing, or that's the idea anyhow.

Yes, that is very true. Time will tell, as I'm hooking into the exhaust now. 

I'm still into it although having a little break. 

 

Have achieved a fair bit today. 

 

Anyway I'll let the photos do the talking.

 

Ended up porting the lobster back section, as there was a bit too much penetration where the lobster back sections came really close together.

Hey guys, not a massive update. Although the last one for a week or so. 

The exhaust is completely welded out and hung under it's own weight. New rubbers installed and 304 grade stainless round bar used to make exhaust hangers. 

 

I have 2 or 3 more bends to go, another v band or 2 bolt flange, (haven't decided yet, I have both just in case) and hang the rear muffler

 

I'd say I'm a bit past half way and a bottle and half of Argon through the job.

 

A side note, definitely need to 'upgrade' the nuts supplied on these vband flanges, nyloc nuts aren't going to cut it with heat lol.

Hey guys, a bit of progress today have the rear muffler hung.

 

The rest of my pie cuts are cut and prepped, just need to finish tacking them tomorrow, weld it out and decide on the tip style I'd like to use. 

 

Anyhow, enjoy the pictures.  

 

Thanks for reading ?

Thanks again to all the guys following this thread. 

 

The exhaust is 95% complete. 

 

The whole thing is welded out, I bolted it up tonight, the only thing I haven't done is decide on the tip design. 

However I'm leaning towards just a 3" straight tip, keep the whole thing subtle. 

 

Started it up tonight, it is whisper quiet, which obviously wasn't an accident with all the mufflers in the exhaust. I am extremely happy with it though. 

 

Interior needs to be reinstalled and it'll be off to the tuner. 

 

Thanks again for reading.

I've always been partial to a dump tip.. but whatever gets your pulse racing..

A dump tip is definitely on the cards. I'm going to mock up a 3" dump and a 3" straight, see which one I like more.

 

I'm the other one, not a fan of dump tips, I lke'em straight out. I just have this thing about minimal bends, even when it has zero impact. 

Exhaust looks great, I'm very impressed and wish I had some fab skills lol

I sussed each one out before the muffler was properly mounted. I leant towards the straight tip to be honest. 

 

Just looked 'right' to me, the dump was cool, and would probably grow on me, however when I saw them side by side the straight instantly looked understated, like the rest of the car I suppose.

Hmm, we shall see

 

Oh, also in regards to your previous post, the fab work has taken some time, that's for sure. It definitely wouldn't be on the front page of 'weld porn' however it is stuck together ?

I want to learn welding, I got as far as being given a welder by my dad.. I am yet ot buy gas bottle or a mask for it lol 

That's pretty awesome you were gifted a welder dude. 

 

Is it a mig or tig? Assuming it isn't a stick welder if you need gas. 

 

Gas is pretty good these days.

 

I just 'bought' a bottle. So I own one, no rent. Then just pay for the gas when I swap it over.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
