OK in the past 2 weeks ive been defected 2 times.First time was for blow off valve.

Second time was for exhaust and my HIDS.

The first copper said my exhaust was fine but not to go any louder.

The second copper was a prick and wrote me up anyway.Today i went to get it tested and i was 4DB over(shit) so i went and got a standard exhaust put on.But the thing is i have to give it back in two weeks(loaner)

Seeing as my other exhaust was only 4DB over what can i do to it to make it quieter without comprimising flow.The standard system has robbed so much power out of my car its not funny.Can anyone in the same boat help me out?Options? Is there quiet high flowing systems on the market?

CHEERS

I guess ill have to try the centre muffler option.Going from high flowing to standard exhaust is a huge decrease in power.Amazing what a high flowing exhaust can do for turbo cars.

yea bud the best option is to get another centre muiffler as the others on here have said... the hks super dragger exhaust i have has a centre muffler and a hotdog aswell... its pretty quiet so that should do the trick for ya

My one is a fujitsubo.the guy testing it was suprised that it was over cause its pretty quiet.The standard one i have on now is 88.5db. My aim is to find a system that is 90db but provides the same flow as my fujitsubo one.There must be a market out there for legal yet high flowing exhausts.

Now on the subject of defects.I have an intercooler in the garage ready to put on.Are they a defect.A hole has to be cut into the engine bay to fit it.

If you're cutting a hole in the engine bay you're going to have to get that engineered, otherwise = defect?

(Going by what happened to a friend of mine)

Go to Mr. Muffler - get a Muffler that's within the legal DB limit - get the guys to write you up a report stating that it's legal - make a copy of it and keep it in your car...

When a copper pulls you over - show them the paperwork and that will shut him up.

That's what I've found...

Simple get an exhaust that complies.

There are some made by kakimoto and fujitsobo that are legal.

they have a 92 or 96 suffix on the model names.

can't just get an exhaust that applies, it needs to be engineered to say that it comply's with the australian design rules.. i was defected for my exhaust, and mind you my exhaust is under the dB rating.. i was told that if i didn't have a engineered certificate to say that it complys with the australian design rule then they can keep defecting me..

simple answer: Either know someone dodgey to clear it like i did... or put the stock one back on.

This is true. Although, if you are defected for noise - my solution would suffice.

If you are defected for no ADR compliance - your solution would be the only one.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
