Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

I am looking at upgrading my stock exhaust system on my R34 GTT and have narrowed it down to one of these two:

I've heard good things from both but wanted to see if anyone's got either of these on their cars and if they would recommend them and why...

Kakimoto. If you've heard one while the motors loaded up big time you'll agree :)

Exactly!!

I had one on the GTR. Was nice and quiet down low and on idle. But when it open up sounded awsome! Loved it :angry:

why does the kakimoto one have 2 mufflers? does this affect performance in any way? and why does it look so much longer in length compared to the HKS one?

I have not had the chance to hear a kakimoto exhaust (My friend has one for his 350Z on order) but I have heard the HKS on a few local R32's and it sounded rather nice when you jump on it...

had a kakimoto Regu on mine. exhaust tip looked very hardcore (jap racer style) and on boost in the high revs it used to literally scream.

had the muffler replaced by an Apexi N1 as the regu had started to rust/discolour badly (previous owner in japan installed it) which IMO did sound louder than the regu but i think the RB sound was a lot more pronounced with the N1.

I have'nt heard the HKS either but I'm very impressed with my Kakimoto, even at idle it has a nice subtle business sounding burble but does'nt attract too much unwanted attention, it wont wake the non-Skyline enthusiast neighbours unless its wound up.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
