Hey everyone how you doing. I know theres lots of topics on what extractors are good and what people use so im not posting about that.

But what i am posting a bout is what brand of extractors are used in the extractor install guide on r31 skyline club.

Here is a link http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?t...ling_Extractors

Your help would be appreciated

Cool thanks for that i jus bought myself an r31 silouhette and im jus goin to modify the rb30 and see how it goes

Good stuff mate, there are a top car, very reliable, just make sure you look after it and it will look after you :banana: cheap to modify as well.

GTS1/2 are good, plus you can heat heatsheild them, Genie/Pacemaker are good. Really just go for any that are mandrel bent, and a more decent performance based brand. Some of the cheaper ones (aka wilcat) are really just for stock manifold repl;acement (when it cracks) and have pretty bad flow, I've deconstructed them before, they usually just have the pipes stuck in randomly with welds around them, look OK from outside (excluding press bends) but ont he inside, soo much turbulence and uneven cyl restrictions.

That said, its not really going to make too much difference on an unopened engine.

yer well is there any big diffenence in power or is it just 1 or 2 kw. also how much diffenence will a cam make im not exactually sure what i want do with the car but when i took it for a first drive i thort i was fast enough (im an L plater btw) so i want mods to add more fun. like extractors for a bit more sound and a cam for a bit more of an idle and stuff like that

Extractors will change the note, make it a bit more raw and rough/throaghty, and generally give you a bit more mid range (if they are properly designed to scavenge) as well as give you more flow up top when matched by a full 2.5" exhaust with straight through mufflers/'highflow' 2.5" cat/decat.

The more generic extractors probably wont give that much of an improvement to mid range, and yeah like 2-3kW of top end performance loss (on an otherwise unrestrictave exhaust) but will still be better than stock manifold.

A GTS2 cam is a good idea, makes the RB30 a lot happier in higher revs (but can be a little doey down low without remap), I'd get an XF throttlebody and fit it to your intake manifold (remember to port match the plenum) then a Z32 AFM, 3" mandrel intake pipe (with a think a 60 degree bend is ideal) with enclosed pod filter, and finish it off with a Nistune chip (like $90 to get fitted to your ECU on exchange) To suit the Cam, AFM and 98RON fuel, and the old RB30 will be quite lively, usually >110rwkW at like 5500rpm on a healthy motor. Which is good power for a P plater and such a torquey engine, and is about 20-25rwkW more than they get bog stock.

I miss the good old days, with basic easy mods...

You could possibly get one s/h off R31skylineclub forums, otherwise you can get your current cam reground to GTS2 specs at somwhere liek surecams/crowcams etc.

You could also get it ground to different specs, maybe a bit better but i'm not sure if nistune can tune them off the shelf (i.e. not custom tuning on the dyno) if you sent matt @ nistune an email, he could probably tell you the specs of the cams he has already got maps to suit.

i wouldnt bother doing the cam, just do the 52 tooth trick and run 98 so it doesnt ping its tits off , but full exhaust pod leads and plugs and that timing trick should see u self around the 110rwkw mark i got 107rwkw , iv just shaved the head and i put a xf tb on just need to calibrate the tps coz it run so jerky. there great cars i love them to bits

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
