a lot of people say that a 3" exhaust system is far too big for a naturally aspirated engine, and swear buy putting a 2 1/2" is buy far the best option.

im interested to hear what systems people are running on there n/a's and there 2 cents on the matter

which do you think is the better choice? 3" or 2 1/2"

Ive got 3 inch with the car

havent driven one with 2.5inch

I get heaps of complements with the silencer out sounds insane, with silencer in it sounds quiet as stock

Performance feels better than standard exhaust aswell i think

g'day james,

this topic has been covered quite extensively throughout the forums. it was proven that you can get away with a 3" system without too much loss of volumetric efficiency on an R34 RB25DE NEO however on an R33 a 2.5" system is considered ideal.

in your case if you are looking for an increase in peak power go 3" and if you're looking for response along with a mild increase 2.5".

have a search throughout the forums and you'll find loads of info supporting those.

yeh thanks guys and girl for ur input on the topic..

i thought the 2.5" was the right way to go...

im just worried about the car being to loud once i get the system fitted. atm i have a 5"canon on it and it sounds like shit (came with the car, i thinking its a no brander).... so wanted something sounding a little meaner.... i was gonna change the canon but as i said worried about the loud deep drone most na's have. and now im thinking of putting a fresh system in it...

r33 na's are stock 2.5" yeh :/ ?

gday buddy,

i just got the exhuast done on my 33 n/a. i was keen on a 3 inch but every place i went to said there was no way they were goin to put one on it, its just too big for a n/a, and lacks pick up somethin shockin.

i went with a 2 1/2 inch, extractors, metal cat, and straight through muffler, the resinator is comin off soon but i think it sounds awesome, has a really mean idle, and all the way through the rev range.

thats just my 2 cents worth any way

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
