haha @ Isola. lol well i was overwelmed by every1s car being so loud and mine sounded lke a corolla on idle, i actully thought something was wrong with my exhaust, only found out about Fujistubo and thier resonator crap a few weeks ago LOL

exhaust? pfft so last thursday

hks bov: what one? and how much?

Both pods and bovs are HKS. BOV I believe are that SSQ3 (latest one). 100 for pod and 250 for bov. All brand new.

Just on the exhaust... he really cant do it if its titanium. Someone has asked the question before about welding/cutting titanium. You'll need to find the right/same type of titanium to do that and from memory, you cant do steel to titanium.

Adam: Actually I like the Kakimoto ones. Quiet unless you're on boost + the burble is much more obivous. Anyway like Tristan said, dont bother with anything else until you're earning your own money. That way nobody can say anything.

Hey :thumbsup:

Welcome Back!

I came across this little gem in my travels that I though you all might like.

Gentlemen, I present to you the Basilica of St Mang.

Lol, I like it!

A quality performance exhaust system thats not over the legal limit? Why would you want to ruin that?

Resonators are not cr*p, people generally just leave them out to make their exhaust louder. Meh, whatever floats your boat.

It's not about how much sound you make.... i mean look at the honda's. Heaps of sound...but they don't go anywhere

Hahaha. Very true and remind me of this yellow Evo on Mains Rd yesterday. Pssst Psst!

I see what you did there. Yea they're not crap unless they're f**king restrictive. If you like sound so much maybe you should get those bov from my friend... hahaha

haha i love this i see what you did there quotes, i dont even notice that stuff haha, hmmm just wanted thoughts, i guess yeh why ruin the exhaust as brandon said if its gonna be a big job because of the titanium,leanr something new everyday :thumbsup: im quite sensitive about exhaust note , especially after the first time a copper pulled me over, he asked if anything was wrong with my car as it was too quiet for a GTR, lol. that being said they always leave me alone as they assume a 4wd spec quiet GTR probably doesnt have much done to it,

haha

Titanium? Are you sure? I've done a bit of research before and its very hard to weld steel to titanium or even titanium to titanium...

plated / coated bro, its base would be stainless.

work hard for your cash so you appreciate shit more, my 2cents

f**kin oath, don't just spend money cause you can. as for your coilovers, take em to someone and get the car corner weighted with you in it. better solution for the long run. and then drive it like a gtr.

After the specs on the standard bov for a rb25. Interested to see a exploded view.. see whats going on in there. If anyone has got anything could you pm me please ?

Cheers,

hey dave, can you please explain, im not too familiar with coilovers etc. you mean after we put them in, weigh to balance them correctly? oh and i would reallly really appreciate it if you could come help with putting them in, i asked tristan if he could ask you, please please :thumbsup:

The car gets driven over 4 scales, one at each wheel and they each weigh the car. Adjustments and shit are made to get a perfect balance....

oh alrite, any decent workshop should have the scales? i might ask Dan to do them, hopefully doesnt take too long, but i need to get the coilovers to him first, theyr sittin at home argh.

Yes... but Adam is obsessed with exhaust noise. He has so far talked about it EVERY time I've seen him.

Because it's not loud enough Uleh! Can't hear it over my subwoofahs bro!

Which is exactly what he wants to do.

Seriously mang, stop asking permission and just do what you want with YOUR CAR. If you want to be a show pony, louden up the exhaust. But saying that, if you only bought the car to turn heads, get rid of it, and buy a Lambo or a Ferarri or something.

Head Turner.

hahahaha so tru if i cum to think of it, its the why the hell is my car so quiet syndrome that hits me when im sorrounded by other skylines,

nah man im never really into turning heads stuff, i dont even head to the spit or places where people bring their "hotted up cars"my car barely clocks 300ks a week , n most of that is groceries and haircuts thats about it,the longest trip its makes every week is to chapell hill and the carwash, ive always wanted a GTR coz like i said in Qatar unless u know the king personally its next to impossible to able to get one, no matter even if your willing to pay 100grand AUD for it, just very difficult, so it means alot have one here.

at the end of the day 18 year olds will always be 18 year olds, i just happen to be one :thumbsup: ,

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R disappeared in the mid-2000's. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
    • Also, there's always room for 4 or 5 3/8" drive wobble extensions of various lengths so you can operate the ratchet from a better location.
