How awesome is this. Good work. I love the carbon mufflers.

About the welding, what gas are you using? You obviously know what you are up to...but if you are using a TIG then with an Argon shielding and purge gas you get an even neater weld with less heat input. Get some Varigon shieldign gas and use an argon purge and the weld is even better again as the gas burns hotter and stops oxidation of the weld pool.

Apologies if you know this already, but my welding fetish is only matched by my brake fetish

...oh and not on twin setup like this from Japan, do they ever run a balance pipe in the exhaust like all the Corvette (ie big V8s) do?

had to fit a couple of hotdogs in it to shut it up a bit.....no stainless ones in stock so i fitted steel ones to see if they would work how i wanted..... and they do so i have ordered some stainless ones...the steel ones were 70 each the stainless 150.....i figured i could afford to risk 140 to see if it works other than finding out 300 worth of dogs were going in the bin....

so you decided against having the mufflers angled? It looks as you went to quite alot of effort to get both tips pointing straight back. I mean maybe it could have been easier to have them angled as now one of the pipes has a 90 degree bend where it loops around the diff. Maybe not so good for flow...

the under body wont allow it(spare wheel well,hangers no clearance to run the pipe under the suspension craddle cant fit the diffuser back on if its done any other way...and the list goes on...)and its not what i wanted anyway....

oh i forgot the diffuser, i guess your right then :)

As long as it sound good :)

Not sure what you mean by 350Z style..... I will post more pics of the system as it get fabricated....i think we should wait untill you get your car...then we will do the match up as i am not to keen on playing with same one elses bumpers(neither would they be :D)...dont worry too much about it chinny...we will get them to fit nicely

350Z Style? like M3, pipes both side of the car, but from your pics i know what you're doing now.

Whatever you think is best, i did have someone willing to lend their R34 (hi Bass Junky!) but you'd still rather use my car?

ok, so you think it can be done then? Cos the initial line up was just too see if it was plausible and i'd go and get a GTR rear bar after if you thought it could be done? Because if you think it's the way to go (rather than try and mould something) i'll go and get the rear bar from someone who has one here in Melbourne.

cheers.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
