Hey guys,

Just wondering what exhaust system do you have in your Stagea. I'm looking to upgrade my stagea after I upgrade my Turbo....

I was looking at the HKS Hi-Power 409 cat-back exhaust system and a Xforce cat....front pipe will be a 3 inch one but dunno what yet (JJR, buy one from ebay, or some other name brand)

Would that a good setup in your opinion

Is they anything else you guys would recommend

custom 3" catback with mild mid muffler and stainless magnaflow oval rear... best daily driver exhaust possible... which will be sold from my car when i sell my car, as the sooner i go back to a standard exhaust the sooner i stop getting nasty looks from neighbours in my apartment block lol.

Just Jap Racing 3" bellmouth stainless steel turbo-to-cat dump pipe

Random Technology 3" stainless steel hiflow 620cfm metal cat converter

3" cat-back straight thru pipe to Kakimoto GTR Racing 3" straight thru muffler

sounds fkn awesome

isnt loud, isnt toney, isnt bassey, isnt deafening, doesnt have noticeble drawl thru the cabin, no headaches, no earaches

sounds H O R N

as the boost rises the power rises, the gasses come out unrestricted but yet muffled enough to tell its a tough RB25det in a shagn wagn

can any of you guys post up a pic of your exhaust sitting on ur wagz? im semi keen... but not after a cannon or ne thing... just a nice plush pretty much not even noticable... no noise or wank factor needed.

the pic attaches is what im kinda after... maybe not even that out there. cheers

Have just fitted a JJ 3" bellmouth dump and X Force hi flow cat. Cat back is as imported. 3" witha small mid mount and

Fuji Cannon.

Have been keeping check on fuel consumption and am using 2-3 litres less per 100. Breathes much better and power is noticeably better and smoother, and comes on quicker. I also use an electric controlled two stage boost controller, which is great for mountain roads.

I have a fujitsubo exhaust which as a mid and rear muffler (same as Alexcim's) and am very happy with it... The more power I made the louder it got but just cruising around town it wouldnt be much louder than stock but has a nice note when you open her up! sitting at a set of traffic lights you wouldnt even know it was turned on.

Does not look aftermarket at all.

So far it has pulled an easy 265rwkw so it makes the power as well..

Just got the Just Jap 3" bellmouth front+dump installed yesterday on an already 3' HKS Super Drager catback.

It spools up slightly louder, and it did exactly what I thought it would do - at about 2.5k its just that little bit smoother/quicker, and it just seems the car can breathe easier. For 200 bucks, you can't really beat it!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
