I was just having a look under the beast just earlier and I noticed on the underside of the muffler or whatever on the back that it says 'Nissan' and underneath it, it says 'Calsonic'. I'm just wondering if everyone elses stock one is like this or iv'e got some special exhaust and I didn't even know.

It just striked me cause I know in the JGTC that there is a Calsonic Skyline and maybe iv'e got one from their tuning house or something :Paranoid:.

well one tip is actually closed off with a butterfly valve and im not sure but maybe at high revs the valve opens to let more flow through or sumthing??? beats me really, i never tested mine out cos its hard to have sumone looking at the exhaust closely and not dieing lol. When u get a new exhaust that cable can just be tucked under the heat shield (where mine is now) i reckon im gonna take the motor out cos its useless really!

i have asked so many people what that little motor thing in the boot before and no one could ever give me an answer, thank you for solving my most unsolved mystery of my skyline, haha, not that it matters as it came disconnected cause my car came with an aftermarket exaust but i still wondered what it was.

that cord thing for the exhaust is adjustable as well.

Mine opened up mid range, about 4000ish rpm.

It was designed so you could adjust your exhaust noise and all other exhaust matters.

Also, your radiators and things should be calsonic too !! :D

They make radiators and exhaust etc...

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
