Well coming from an audi with 2 1/4 inch piping and one straight through muffler and some big tips... with an awesome 5cyl "boxter/V8" burble.... 110db+ :D

to

a R32 with 3.5inch piping..HKS super dragger and some massive resinator half way down it is so quiet...

so im thinking of getting the resinator removed (like i did with the audi) so i can have the mad straight 6 sound....

Im not worried about coppers atm because i NEVER got pulled over in my audi (loud, dark tint and sitting on its ass)

Anyways im kinda worried about farking the turbo or something without enough back pressure.....

Would the removal of the resinator mess anything up or ruin anything?

The car puts out 120kw at the rears on stock boost with pod and exhaust... shall i expect a power gain or loss???

sorry for the long post but i just didnt want to get screwed around by workshops..

thanks

Yes you can remove it, It will make the car louder which creates more attention by the cops. You wont stuff you'r turbo if anything you'r helping it by give it better air flow though the exhaust and stopping back pressure which causes loss in hp.

:D

ahh thanks fellas......

ages ago someone was saying something about backpressure etc i wasnt too sure...

ill get it taken off and see how i go..... if it becomes too drony ill turn the system up hahaha

and on long trips ill get it put back on :P

Im looking foward to hearing it unleashed!

Ed

hahaha i know...

already had snapneck from coppers.... lots of it......

its so funny though... eg...coppers drive past me pulling out of side street and cop passenger has snapneck looking at my car....

pull up at lights next to them... cop is looking at me and having llook at my car....

i look at officer..."good evening officer happy new year"... copper smiles and waves and drives off.... hahahahahaha

One more thing...

would it be better to get the straight through pipe clamped on or welded?

normally i had mine welded but clamped would be eaiser for ME to change if i got busted.... i dont know how it would hold up though?

thanks

I did exactly what you are thinking of doing and seriously, back to back dyno runs, i gained maybe 1 or 2rwkw but that could also come down to tempartures, better fuel, anything. I've actually got mine booked back in to have my centre resonator refitted tomorrow as I prefer it quiet. Saying that, 12psi+ boost and WOT and it howled like a banshee being burnt at the stake. Loved it :) but personally prefer to not have the extra attention.

Yeh i enjoyed being fast and quiet.

One thing to remember if your removing your resonator is to have a good muffler, otherwise it will sound really shit

I dont mind the noise so much, but ill be putting a new resonator on before selling the car in the future thats for sure :)

Im going to get the connections flared and clamped so that i can put the straight through pipe on or the resinator....

6 flares and straight through pipe $100.....

not too shabby......

looking forward to the noise :rofl:

Just got my car back from exhaust shop putting my centre muffler back in. BEST MOVE EVER. I love it, it's so quiet, it makes no noise except the engine & turbo. All you can hear is the turbo spoolin followed by a "woosh" of the BOV. Love it :D :D :D

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
