Hi Rs, Sunbury exhaust would have to be one of the most professional exhaust places arround, they did my r33 3 " system, treated you like a real customer and not an idiot, and looked after the car as well. Workmanship 2nd to none. Aftersale service was also great. Rechecked everything a week after fitment and i will probably go back soon for an additional muffler to drop the note a touch..Sounds great, but just a bit loud.

:P

Dont' go to places with bad customer service. I don't see why you should pay money to feel like crap. Customer Service is part of the total experience and your decision should not just be based on the final product you get.

i totally agree with that. my exhaust is finally fixed up, sounds very nice now. just a deep purr. took it to daalder exhaust in boxhill. 1st resonator they put on didnt do much, was still loud, went back and they changed it for free. better than ringwood place where he wouldn't guarantee me anything & said it may help it may not.

rs73, i didn't realise that u already had a hks super drager muffler, if that were the case u should've just went & got some custom made exhaust to fit it, would've cost around $150. if u haven't ordered the catback system from japan u should keep the hks & get the piping done.

Too bad they've already charged my credit card in Japan, and I've got a prospective buyer already for my HKS dragger by next weekend.

Thank's, but still I may be needing an exhaust place to bolt on the full new exhaust system as it arrives from Japan.

damn, would've saved u some time & money. what exhaust have u ordered, did u get a 2nd hand one? catback i assume?

u could almost put the new exhaust on urself if u could jack ur car up high enough. ur new exhaust should bolt straight on. just 2 bolts at the front to the cat and then the rest of it goes into the rubber holders.

which area are u in? mr muffler in mitchan charged me $40 to put mine on. took like 15mins. any exhaust place can do it. don't let them charge u more than that. only problem is i dunno if the exhaust can fit in ur car to take it there!

It's only money :P and I don't have car stand or jack that will be safe enuf for me working under the car for long period of time. Beside no garage, just car parking spot shared with other neighbies, so a bit tight on space.

Time is one of my biggest problem, I don't have the luxury of being a student & can have any time any day to wander around exhaust places to modify my car... nor being a business owner who can walk in or taking day off anytime anyday... (If you're the boss, nobody can fire you, get it?)

Everytime I need time off, I have to organise it with the mgr a week or so in advance & fill out appropriate form, etc, etc, etc... and we're pretty busy now, no time for timeoff coz I'll be hung by my neck if I do that. This applies until after the New Yr 2003 when our workload will be lightened off a bit.

BTW, what I'm ordering is a brand spanking new 3" exhaust system, I'm ordering the front pipe as well but still waiting to see if it's in stock & depends on whether they can ship it in the same box so I don't pay too much on shipping. The only thing I need left is 3" hi flow cat to complete the system. Or maybe plus dump pipe, or exhaust manifold... the list goes on.... perhaps just front pipe+cat+cat-back is enuf for now :P I'll source the hi flow cat locally.

I live in northern suburb area but work in the inner city near CBD.

Damn, money u have if u can afford to get a brand new exhaust from Japan! They're very pricey. If time is a concern, get the exhaust fitted on a saturday, most places are open until lunch time, just get in there early. With the hi-flow cat, I was quoted for around $250 for one think, somewhere from 200-250. All i remember was the guy telling me what a good price it was hehe. This was at Daalder exhaust. It was for a 2.5" one, 3" will probably cost a bit more. Good idea to get the front pipe and dump pipe from japan as well.

Anyways good luck with it.

Thx..

When it arrive (hopefully b4 nearing xmas holiday time) I can organise a saturday installation, if I don't have to work on Saturday....

I hate it when I sometimes can only drop my car in the early morning, but can't get back to the wkshop quick enuf in the afternoon to pick up my car, n can only wish they can lock my car in securely until Monday. (Happened to me once when I serviced my car last time)...

I have been ringing a few places in melb and some of them only makes up to 2.5" custom piping.

Today I was even mocked when I said I wanted 3" piping, they said I must be crazy to want such a diametre, what do I need it for?

Does anyone knows exhaust place in Melb where ppl who ask for 3" or even 3.5" custom pipe will be treated with respect and won't be jeered at and laughed?

not very happy today :)

Try this exhaust place, his phone number is 9318 6688. Those ppl who laughted at your request just don't know anything, so don't worry about those ignorant pig.

i just read the whole thing too dammit!

btw, trufit exhaust installed a 2.5 cat when i paid for a 3inch. plus they tried to keep the straight through pipe that came on the car, and questioned me when i asked for it back.

and the reason they have imports in there alot is cause they do the cat work for UPI, plus theres lots of import workshops in that area.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      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.
