What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Its just the way that they make Jap systems, unfortunatly. A Load of GTR owners have been caught out this way- Pay big Dollars for a brand name Jap system that states 90mm diam. or whatever, only to have the system taper down within the mufflers and restrict power. Genrally this is only happening at power levels >250kw.

This is what I'm going to test on my car- I think the exhaust might be holding it back. Checking is easy enough- run your car up on the dyno. Then remove mufflers / cats and run it up again. If there is a big difference, then you know there is restriction. Its always a pay off between noise and flow- it takes a good exhaust fab. to make a good flowing not offensively loud exhaust.

OP did say non-removable in the previous page. I couldn't figure out how to get it out from the pics- but I'd be looking!

This is an example of what I mean. The Lovely Fujitsubo exhaust that all of us M35 owners love. Have a look at the pipe diam. 76.3 (3inch) to 60.3mm (about 2.3inch) . Wat! I guess the nismo is about the same. Am I really trying to push 200kw through 2.3inch exhaust...?

Looks like moar measuring / testing of my exhaust to be undertaken

Did you look in the back end through to the twin tips?

I don't think thats 3 inch, not that I can get in there and measure it.

Bah! I forgot you had the Nismo one like I did. I was referring to the Legalis tips.

I thought that the Nismo muffler's exit hole was closer to 2.5" at first glance, but didn't measure it either.

Pretty sure that the Legalis' was larger (3") and I can't imagine they would have a smaller point to the tips than the inlet of the muffler...

I don't understand. Me and Scott are running way higher then 200awkw on our Legalis...not sure how that would "restrict" you at 200kw??

I'm not saying that it would restrict to 200 exactly. I am well aware that Cars running the legalis are well up and over that.

What I am saying is that any restriction will cause a loss in power, and their might be gains in looking into the exhaust for restrictions- durh, I know.

And I don't have the same exhaust as you. I have a Nismo- now I don't know if there are any signifigant differneces between the two rear mufflers in either system. It could be that the nismo runs a 2.5inch reducer in the rear can, while the legalis is bigger. Who knows?

Thats why I'm going to test it out.

The easiest way to check it to put a pressure gauge in line and check for backpressure; your cat might even have a blanking plug in it that you could use.

But if he had a bung silencer in the rear wouldn't he be able to see the bolt holding it in place!

Some of them just slide in the end and wedge in.

I have seen this style of silencer before, you should be able to slide a die grinder in there with a cut off wheel and just trim it out. It is manufactured into the muffler to help quieten it down.

You reckon i could cut it out - i don't think it would be easy. wouldn't there be insulation in the muffler round that smaller center pipe? if i recall it looks the same from both ends if i look down the muffler tip or on the incoming side

some more piks for a better look -

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
