How can that be Aaron? I've driven one with a Kakimoto & it was loud. What did you have on before? (sorry, it's probably listed 5 pages ago, just don't want to go looking).

lol kakimoto R? or N1 hypermega or something ?

Its a shit load quieter than before, and its brand new so it looks like its only going to get quieter as the gunk builds up.

it was a custom job before. which could explain why is was loud.. flowed 230kw though..

I'm pretty sure it looked a bit like this...post-61153-0-50538100-1300106234_thumb.jpg lol?

Sorry Aaron, I saw this the other day, & I was just reminded of it. No hate

hahahahha lol none taken. it looks better now, thats for sure.

The kakimoto R has this random 4.5 inch tip cover thats spot welded on.. wasn't happy with it. so me and scott attacked the spot welds with a drill and grinder, and polished the spots to invisible. we remoulded some of the pipe so the muffler sits abit higher off the ground.

ill take some pictures tonight, and hopefully a vid for sound.

IMO - it looks WAY better without the random tip.

Had 3 tiny pin dents removed from the Stagea by a PDR guy who just fixed $6000 of hail damage to our daily. Sooo bloody obvious on a Black car...

Total cost? $60.:worship:

Result; perfect job, one happy customer!

Just got back from registering the car... had to do an ID check, pay for new plates, 3 months rego and transfer of rego. Total wait time = 90 minutes. Total of reaming = $1100. Thanks SA Department of Transport :rant:

Thats the plan, except looking at the requirements I think I actually need the signatures of every person, living or dead, who built my car!

Fashioned a bespoke knob from aluminium bar. Turned it up on a poor mans' lathe (bench drill).

Has a nice solid feel & looks a lot better than a missing knob.

looks great!

well heres the only pic i took of the exhaust

Kakimoto R and pulled off the almost 5" tip tacked on.

cleans up well.

THAT looks great.

Tip is way big enough. Also like the debadged look on your black car. Probably a better effect than it would be on a silver or white car IMO.

I have a Kaki as well and should take the big tip off mine, does it make it quieter with the monster tip off? Just ordered some HPX pads from GSL for the Stag as well. Is there a FAST system for Subaru's? I need to order some HPX for my sister in law but the liberty model she's got has a million different pads used in them.

its doesnt make any difference to sound I wouldnt think. Mine being straight through from the turbo its not AS loud as it was before.. i kind of like the deep not it has...but it looks much better without the big tip IMO. i put the vinyl that came with it on the tip. looks tough.. ill take another pic tonight.

Gee thanks Iain. That was information I could have done with a week ago!

Well I suppose I have something a bit unique now.

Speaking of unique, did you see my post on the stealth boost gauge on m35stagea.info? BTW I can't get on right now. Could just be the internet where I'm am right now though.

Meh, I just waited till my NSW rego was gonna expire and then transferred the rego.

I thought you had to transfer within 14 days?

I thought this too, until I went to the RTA. Because I've got till the end of the month, they told me to wait it out and then get the blue slip to put it under NSW rego. No fines apply for exceeding 14 days in this case.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
