Hey Guys,

Finally got them fitted, only 4 weeks sitting in my garage.

And first impressions are they are Great. A real noticable increase in power in the mid range.

Got it dynoed before and after. it gets a nice increase in the mid range and only about .3 of an increase in peak power, but I wasnt expecting an increase at all.

They improve the sound of the engine (imo) dont have a zorst tho, (thats the next step) and then it should sound sweet.

here are some pics of them fitted, (cant really see much), and the dyno graph. Does anyone have a set of the cobys and a before/after dyno?

i brought some DKNE extractors and they are great.

lol you guys are lazy as, im 17 and took my engine out in 6 hours the other day, mechanic Lee at maitland reboared the engine by 1mm (credit to this guy he does heaps of skyline reconditions all year and knows his stuff :thumbsup: ) brought my oversized pistons, and all my other bits like bearings and valves and pumps, clutch etc .... and put the extractors on myself and noticed a design problem .... the o2sensor is only able to read 3 of the stalks on the extractors ( can be seen in the picture ) so my uncle plugged up the original place for the o2sensor and made a new on further down and it reads SOOOOOOOO much better. thats all i could find wrong with them they are worth the $420 and make a nice sound, so im happy :ermm:

my cars had about $4000 on it and im getting a dyno run soonish

WOW Andy, thats effing impressive man...please post your dyno sheets up!! :thumbsup:

Have you notified DKNE of the 02 Sensor problem?

We're not lazy, we're just waiting for more problem such as the one you mentioned to come up. Nothings worse than 10 or more people receiving extractors only to find that they have to spend extra dough for them to be operational. (No, you hit the nail on the head - We are lazy.) haha

cheers shane,

yeah the 5th cylinder was scored something fierce (my uncle reckons something fell down in there when they were doing a spark plug change or something.) the injectors in my top end are very fragile at the moment (plastic is weak) so i have found many top end problems but the bottom end is out of the way and no more engine cranes :banana:I think there is a well known place in Tuggerah a lot of people use because i need a 4wd dyno. Ill have the dyno runs up in 3 weeks because im busy for the next 3 weeks and spending a lot on "other tests" ..... with my Ms's

the thing is all company's do this because its convenient for the customer because they can just stick the o2 sensor straight on Coby do this too, Note* you have to re wire the o2 sensor. Its worth it because all you have to do is go to Supercheap and buy the wire and take off the short wire and re wire it to length.

My uncle knew they were going to be likes this because he knows someone with a XR6 ute that had to do the same problems because after 2 min of driving the ecu would be confused with the wrong information from the o2sensor

Turn this thread into a Coby Vs DKNE Thread by posting up some characteristics of the two everyone!

Hey guys,

Been running around now for a few weeks and havnt really missed a beat.

The first tank of fuel after getting them fitted I noticed I lost a bit of fuel ecconomy, but I not sure if it was just due to the fact the car was running at a higher fuel mix ration (seen on my dyno) or because I loved the sound my engine was making and reved it all the way out for the next few days.

I reset the ecu (disconected the battery) drove it around for a while, and now it seems to be back on the beat. I think the ecu has learnt that its only reading half of the exhaust gases and is now giving a better air/fuel mix.

Today, I also got the rest of my exhaust system fitted up. Just a custom at a local exhaust shop. 2.5inch mandrell bend from the cat back, straight into a sports muffler, with twin chrom tips out the end to keep the stock look. But boy does it sound great. havnt taken it on the highway yet, but I dont get much of a drone, sounds great revving up, and settles down at crusing speed. so now I have a full exhaust system, dkne extractors - 2.5" piping - cat - 2.5 inch piping - sports muffler. so far, im pretty please with the results.

Now I just need to get my car fine tuned for the new set up.

Hey Eug, do you know anywhere in bris that can tune the 34 ecu's ?? I know they cant do much, but just a small adjustment to get my 34 running at its best.

This is quite a bit cheaper than their current listed price http://www.dkne.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=415

With this in mind, are you guys still up for a group buy?

I'm kinda lucky I bit the bullet and went in first.

DKNE done me a faily decent deal. I got the extractors, HPC coating, con pipe, cat replacment pipe (rrp $88) and postage all for $675.

They are really well made tho and worth the money in the long run. Ive got much better response and more power in my mid range.

The exhaust guy also mentioned they are pretty decent and really well made.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
