Not quite sure if this is the correct area, sorry if it's not.

Anyway I have looked around on the forum and I can't find as much information as I would like on exhaust systems for twin turbo (TT) GTR skylines.

So if you have a TT GTR skyline please post your advice, opinions and why on your exhaust system decision?

Thanks ahead.

Here's an easy answer;

Ill assume you dont mean turbo back.

To do it on the cheap, go to JustJap and get

-XForce front pipes to suit GTR

-High flow cat

-Xforce catback.

Wont cost you much but will be a big difference over a stock GTR exhaust.

Of course most of the regulars here (including myself) prefer jap brands, but the exchange rate isnt good right now so unless you can get second hand stuff in the for sale section just buy domestic parts for now.

Want to do it a bit better though and done mind spending?.....

-Tomei dump pipes (ceramic coated)

-HKS front pipes (ceramic coated)

-High flow cat

-Kakimoto catback

...that sounds fkn tough but isnt cheap. You'll spend about $850 on dumps alone

Thanks for the comments so far.

I should also mention that this exhaust is not for a mild turbo/engine setup.

What about twin systems vs single systems??

For example:

(Twin system) Twin 3" dumps into twin 3" cats then twin 3" pipes to the diff then single 3 1/2" straight out the back.

(Single system) Twin 3" dumps into a single 3 1/2" cat, 3 1/2 exhaust straight out the back.

steve-o has it pretty much spot on. i've looked and tried quite a few set-ups over the years and my best one is:

tomei dumps (the only good dumps I can find that actually are decent sized with a 70mm+ outlet)

the current model large stainless HKS front pipes (the only true 76mm X 2 front pipes, merge to 85mm pipe)

cat back as straight as possible an 80mm+ (personally I'm using a Trust TR Power Evolution which is a 94mm race exhaust, with V-band flanges). 90mm is a good size.

Okay... After searching and searching I thought I might as well ask and this thread is relevant.

My car has R34 block, 2530s, 550 injectors, Power FC, Z32s, HKS hard piping kit, HKS EVC, HKS twin plate clutch, HKS cat back (80mm+), ther things I've probably forgot... All done in Japan. But, much to my frustration, it has stock dumps and stock cat. :down: I have since done the cat with a Catco 3", but the front pipe remains. I was going to get the car tuned again (possibly with cam gears).

My question is, how restrictive is the front pipe? Is it worth upgrading now? Spending relatively big cash to do the dumps right now isn't where my priorities lie but the front pipe can be done quite cheaply, are decent gains to be had here alone given my set up?

yes do the front i still have my stock dumps on r32 there not really that bad 336rwkw on 17psi still have a tune to come yet and more boost!

my system is a 3 inch inch straight tho no brand.... yes its loud....

Sweet thanks Steve, looks like the stock dumps still allow some decent power.

On the lowest reading dyno here in ACT (the only AWD Mainline) my car made 260awkW @ 20psi. Another car I know with 2860-5s made a similar figure on a bit less boost. Which I know is a very low figure, although enough to fry all 4 shitty Nexen tyres at 80-90km/h in 2nd. :P 255 Toyo T1Rs are getting fitted this week to the TE37s which'll fix that.

So I was wondering if the dumps, front and stock cat (genuine GTR, not compliance) combined with a supposedly low reading dyno can be enough to make that figure so bloody low at such high boost?

I guess it's front pipe and tune touch up on a different dyno to find out!!

380kw has been made on stock 33 GTR dumps with 2560 turbos.

Im changing back to standard GTR dumps because my stainless HKS split dumps are giving me creep. Also running 2560s.

Im also running a HKS Dual Racing Exhaust, its a full twin which never joins. Tuned length dual.

By changing from a single 3.7 HKS Super Dragger to this exhaust, boost shot up to 23psi from 17psi with no other changes! Let me say it must flow very well!!!

I have R33 GTR Dumps for sale if you need them, the R32 ones are crap.

P.S CES have the worst customer service in the world! dont bother with them!

Thanks Mat. But probably not at that stage yet and when I can be bothered pulling off the turbos I'll probably spend some cash on Tomei or something like that. In the mean time I guess I need to change the front pipe (although it's hard to see any real restriction there).

For street use, I just go a nice full 3" Nismo, or Kakimoto + a high flow cat.

Nice and quiet and would give you a nice flow.

That's exactly what I'm after, I couldn't be bothered with the negative attention and/or drone additional noise can bring. As clsoe to legal as possible ideally, without compromising flow too much. Right now I'm at 90db at 4500rpm but at 5000rpm raises a few db above it.

  • 4 weeks later...

huh? that's wierd, if boost increased when you made an exhaust change, wouldnt this indicate more of a restriction?

that is, the backpressure can't escape quick enough, which drives the exhaust wheel faster, which drives the compressor wheel faster, which increases boost in the intake side without any change

    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together
