OK now before i start posting, yes i have searched and read all the posts related to exhausts.. But i have a few questions that im still confused about..

1) What is the quailty workmanship between a jap brand exhaust (thinking off gettin Trust Pe2 or Blitz Nur spec r, or fujitsbo) than to a local one such as xforce..

2) The price difference between them is huge!! eg, nur spec r is 950 excludin shippin, where as xforce is about 550--- > This is for catback exhausts!! Why is this.. Both stainless steel!!

3) Does jap brand exhaust have a better design??

4) Now this quesiton is related to sound, and i know it comes down to personal preference, but how does 1 go to listening to different types of exhausts.. so basically need some input in terms of what your exhaust sounds like..

5) So is it better to save money and go local, which might do the same job as a jap brand??

6) Ok well, if you could state which exhaust you have and why, please do so and any input will be much apprieacted..

7) Gettin split dump/front pipe n hiflow cat affect the noise??

Sorry about the long post..

But need as much help as possible to decide which exhaust (catback) will sound gd..

ohh btw this is for a series 2 r33..

cheers..

Personally I'd go for a Jap brand exhaust because of the massive experience they have in dealing with Skylines.

You probably won't notice any difference in power but I'd suspect things like quality of the bends and fitment are better in the Jap-made one.

As for sound, there is no real way to know. Maybe go on a cruise or dyno day and listen to exhausts and see if there's a sound you're attracted to then ask the owner about the system.

I have a 3" Kakimoto catback, standard cat and JustJap front/dump pipe combo. The sound is not too loud and if you search around SAU, you'll find that many of us recommend Kakimoto for a decent level of sound.

However, if I had the money I'd go for an Apexi N1 Catback. My brother had one on his FTO and it sounded extremely good.

May i ask which Fujitsubo exhaust?? i would like the powergetter..

Well basically im not intending of gettin a catback for power!! it is more in the intention of noise(rumbly type) and the looks of gettin a nice barrel at the end..

i say local..

and not local brand, i mean local exhaust shop

you get:

- brand new

- to your specifications re sound and height of the ground

- half the price

- good quality

i paid $540 for a 3" cat-back in mild steel with a stainless cannon muffler and an extra-large resonator.. all installed and tested before paying the money over

fansastic value for money and sounds exactly to my specifications

plus they actually make it sit higher than stock so you can get your car lowered and still make clearance :P

cheers,

Warren.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
