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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
