Hi all,

So i just got my 34 gtt, its stock everything. This is my first Skyline and first turbo also.

Wanting to put a cat back system on it, but not sure how it will sound? im after a not overly loud, nice RB sound, will this do the trick?

I test drove a white 34 at a importer in Nunawading which i think had a cat back 3" system on it and its sounds awesome, it also had a pod though.

Basically what im asking is:

-Will i be able to acheive this with a cat back?

-What kind of noise will i get with JUST a pod?

-How much (if any) performance gain will i get?

-What brand exhaust do you recommend?

Any feedback appreciated! :teehee:

1. Depends what catback. Different brands/models have different sounds.

2. Again depends what pod. Generally its a sucking air style sound. Some pods are louder than others.

3. With an unshielded pod, you'd probably lose power (compared to a stock airbox) cause of heatsoak. With a catback you'd gain < 10 rwkw.

4. If you want a quiet sounding exhaust go for either a Kakimoto or Fujitsubo Legalis.

Oh and I suggest you get a whole turbo back system. Catback systems really don't do jack except make the car sound 'better'.

Thanks for the tips!

I was thinking Blitz Nur Spec R Cat Back (maybe eventually full), and an Apexi Air filter.

Didn't know an unsheilded pod can make you lose power, so many people leave it unsheilded??

Would i be able to buy a sheild locally? (Melbourne)

Pods go for cheap... you can find one installed for around 100 bucks.

An alternative to the pod is just to replace the regular filter with a K&N performance one. I've also had a few mates drill holes in their stock airboxes. A lot cheaper, still get the noise, better performance and doesn't attract attention from EPA/police.

What kind of noise?

You will usually have to make up a shield yourself. Simple aluminium sheet metal will do.

autobarn 900, well worth it top quailty while you at it get a blitz front pipe and greddy split dump! where you live?

i know at narre warren Justin has a blitz front pipe for R34 there

Im east of melbourne. Could you please PM me with details im very interested.

Thanks mate.

I have a Trust turbo back exhaust with split dump off the turbo its an awsome sounding system. Although not cheap deffinately worth the cash big difference in power. This is my engine bay however very dirty when i took the pic you can see the box i have with perspex top so you can see the pod. It makes an awsome induction noise and effectively heat shields the pod. PM if you want any details on who i bought the shield off its a guy on this forum and he does it for a very good price.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
