Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area.

It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling coldĀ šŸ˜„ and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so....

... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z?

And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?Ā

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full boreā€”it would be a huge relief if itā€™s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like youā€™re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, itā€™s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether itā€™s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laughā€”some people really do embrace that carefree, ā€œroll and seeā€ attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf Ā  Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.Ā  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
