Looking for options for a Cat Back system to suit R34 - 4 Door - N/A.

Had a Fujitsubo Legalis R system ( 70mm diameter main with the twin 90mm tips ) on order through JDM Imports ( Trader ) since Nov last year but don't expect I'll ever see it ( or my $600 deposit ) so I'm now looking for other options.

So what do you have ? How much ? How loud ? Where from ?

Cheers.

P.S. Not interested in any loud / droney systems.

Would anyone know if a cat back from a R34 GT-R would fit a R34 sedan ?

Might be difficult.. Pkus a GTR cat-back it's too big for a N/A i would think... You need something smaller like 2.25 or 2.5.. There aren't many premade systems out there that offer a 2.25 or 2.5 system, you will usually have to get something custom made from an exhaust shop.. This isn't that expensive either.

I got a 2.25 cat back system from hi-tech exhausts in syd, sounds nice and doesn't drone.

Yeah, was considering a 3" Fujitsubo Legalis R for a turbo. Since they are mega quiet on a turbo I was thinking it might sound good on an N/A. :P So, what about the fitment ?

Hmmm. Was giving Hi-Tech some thought. What sort of $'s for a cat back from Hi-Tech ?

yea once again stay away from 3' cat backs..

Catback from hi-tech.. anywhere from $450-$700, how sharp are your bargaining skills? ;)

Cheers for that Nick. I don't mind Hi Tech but I prefer an "off the shelf" option if I can get it.

Has anyone got anything other than a Hi Tech or Fujitsubo to suit this set-up ?

I do NOT recommend Hi Tech Mufflers.. the guy who did it was rude, loud, unhelpful and generally talk to me like i'm a 7 year old and am really stupid..

this is the thread of the story

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...142090&st=0

Recently I had to adjust my exhaust beacuse it was rattling against something under the car, and I did not go to high tech to get it fixed, I rather pay another exhaust shop to do it.

Up to this day, I haven't checked whether the other resonator is stainless steel, I was thinking if it's not.. I'll use it for a year then get it changed..

cheers

Oh man, I totally forgot about this episode with you & Hi Tech !!

I think I'm just going to have to re-save the $'s and buy an off the shelf system.

Cheers for the reminder :(

are you looking for a budget upgrade for power? or something that sounds good?

i'm about to throw a standard GTR exhaust onto my NA, it's 2.5" and lines up exactly. giggidy

Looking for something that flows better so the revs above 4K actually have a reason to exist :D and of course, I need some sort of sound other than hissing ;)

Interesting thought though........ I wonder how much better ( if any ) a factory R34 GTT sedan zorst would be compared to what I have atm......... :)

not sure about the exhaust sizing in the r34s, but in the r32/r33's the turbo variants have a slightly larger exhaust.

i'd not expect them to extract every last kilowatt from your setup, but bang for buck wise - they'd be a cheap and reasonably more than enough upgrade. considering you can pick up a stock exhaust for next to nothing.

So, from now on I'll be known as "The Washer Nozzle Guy" ?!?! :D

Yeah I've decided to give away the whole idea of getting a system made up. Going to go back to looking at bolt-up systems. :mad: I've never had a really bad boltup system :(

That will be the fall-back plan then ! Got a few other options to try first. Cheers.

If anyone's interested, here's the one I'm getting........

http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?u=http%3...ies&ie=UTF8

Our friends at Nengun have been kind enough to recently put this item on their list of exhaust systems available for purchase but I have already got the ball rolling with our other good friends at JustJap who are getting it for me :D

And just for the sake of sharing info, for those looking for a Cat-Back system, here's the range from Kakimoto.

Enjoy ! :laugh:

I've been looking for an exhaust for a V35 Coupe, and came across the HKS Hi Power Ti. Absouletly awesome sound. I suspect it will be quite different on an RB compared to a VQ, but if the same basic sound is there go for it. It's got this awesome high pitched growl that you'd expect from a supercar.

Jump on You Tube and type in G35 Coupe HKS Exhaust, you'll get a few recording of yanks jumping on the loud pedal.

Haven't checked but I think I heard HKS may have sound files on their website.

Getting the Fujitsubo Legalis R stainless cat-back one with the 70mm main pipe and twin 90mm tips so it looks nice and standard :pirate:

For sure, I'll let you know when I've got it and fitted it so you can have a listen ! I don't expect it's going to be anything noticeable since Fujitsubo are without a doubt, the quietest systems available.

Here's the dB stats on the Fuji system:

At idle: Stock 63 dB - Fuji 57 dB

3000rpm: Stock 75 dB - Fuji 79 dB

5000rpm: Stock 82 dB - Fuji 84 dB

Approach exhaust noise at 4500rpm: Stock 80dB - Fuji 84 dB

The Kakimoto ones are the ones to get if you want a growling exhaust note & a cannon tip. Kaki's sound MEGA tough on N/A's but I just want some top end flow, but I don't want attention :happy:

DVS R34, expect to pay around $1,000 + for any of these top shelf N/A systems. Worth every cent IMO !! :wub:

Now I just have to wait for 6 weeks :)

hmm... would be keen to see how it sounds.

for some reason twin cam NA's seem to be quite difficult to find a suitable not too loud, but not too quiet type exhaust.

6 weeks is a long wait... i'll be keen for a sound file or video.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
