Do you actually need a cannon? i'm not that well educated on the subject, but i thought cannons were for turbo cars, NA versions needed something more substantial to create sufficient backpressure to run well (or something like that). Anyone feel free to tell me otherwise, i'm in the market for a new exhaust system and don't want a loud, droning note.

if your exhaust is 2.5" factory its probly crush bent.

somthing that could make your guys lifes easyer with r33s you could buy the turbo guys factory exhuast as they are 2.5" mandrel bent from the factory. i have one on my car even tho its rb20e.. but that will be gone for a rb30de soon. lol.

yeah N/As need some back pressure as it helps the scavanging effect. a muffler like a flowmaster one would probly sound good. i will replace my stock rear muffler when i get the new motor put in as this one is a little rattly and doesn't make much sound. plus i don't get the typical skyline backfire :huh:

correct - stock exhaust was/is crush bent. will be interested to hear about your experience building the RB30DE

well so far i have most of everything that i will need to get it up and running. you can see the difference in rod lengths of rb30 and rb25. i just need to get the bottom end rebuilt and the head put on then i can finish the rest. it has a braded hose running from the head to just next to the oil filter. i will post some pics up when i have the basic block assembled.

i am only missing 3 major components, gearbox, clutch and computer plus ill need custom extractors.

it should be good when its all up and running. ill use a plug in GTS link once it is run in. hopfully completed and in car by end of january to mid febuary :D

Are you sure stock piping is 2.25"? I measured mine this morning for the new muffler and it came out to be a fraction less than 2" - the guy who imported it told me it was "dead stock". Why would anyone put on an exhaust which was smaller than stock (and mild steel to boot)?

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
