Currently looking into available exhaust options for the Skyline Coupes CKV36.

Was wondering what people run, as our cars aren't heavily supported in AUS.

Well aware that you can run 370Z exhausts on our car with an extension pipe but my import has the 4WAS module stuck to the back of the diff making it incompatible with most available G37/370Z exhausts (HKS, Motordyne, ARK, etc). The 370Z exhaust all bend inwards towards the back of the diff before straightening out making it incompatible.

I was initially looking at Tomei for the weight savings but it hangs way too low for it to be driveable + do not want to be a police magnet. (NSW Limit 90dB -> Tomei 112dB)

Bit of a reach but if anyone here has a Skyline Coupe CKV36 with a 4WAS module, what exhaust setup are you running?

Yes, all custom built by myself. no idea on the cost, was all part of a larger build. Was quite a few years ago too, so materials are probably friggin double now.

No idea of your situation, but the cheapest way imo would be to get what you want in 370z fitment & then pay someone to mod it to fit properly. Would be way cheaper than building from scratch. Decent exhaust work isn't cheap. Just make sure they're not a "Press Bends & Mig" shop.

If you decide to go full custom, following my layout may help save some dough, go to my build thread & it leads to my youtube channel. I documented the full exhaust build there.

Cheers.

Custom is probably quickest and cheapest for pretty much any JDM unless you stumble across some ebay junk

Noted :)

The exhaust setup looks amazing!

Thanks for the information, appreciate the help :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
