Hi all.

just wanted to introduce myself and my new 98 R34 S1 GT-T.

ive been hanging round cars for quite some time.

i used to own a 73' Celica TA22 - which i put a 4a-ge bigport in (with exhaust etc etc).

i used to stop around toymods quite a bit prior to this.

now i own a skyline with a 3" blitz turbo back exhaust, pod and turned up turbo (r32 solenoid??)

fuel efficiency is horrible on this thing, i think its the lack of tune - so i plan on returning the airbox and removing the pod (putting a nice panel filter in there), and putting on a return flow FMIC on the front.

shortly after that, throwing a nistune in there and getting it turned asap!

i dont want any attention from the cops therefore im quietening down my exhaust (which is too loud atm). i plan on replacing the cannon to a nice oval muffler and having twin tips.

question: if i have twin tips facing down, will this quieten the sound coming out of the car (ie. sound is logarithmic, and based on intensity (3dB is a double in intensity) - so therefore if the sound is directional (ie. throwing straight at the microphone from a cannon, surely hitting the ground / dissapating) would quieten it down.

is there a legal limit to how far it points down?? i had a talk to a fella at daalder exhausts in box hill, he wasnt on the same page i was on - suggested a whole new exhaust.

i dont have boost controllers / turbo timers or none of that crap and i drive it responsibly, giving it the occasional squirt once in a while (not into burn outs etc) :)

anyway, i have plenty more questions which hopefully i can ask wednesday night (does any one mind if i come along??)

thanks and nice to meet you!

Tim

hey tim,

love the look of ur car mate!

there is no limit in regards to the angle i dnt think.. but if u do want it 100% legal u pretty much need a stock exhaust or a VERY well designed customed made one($$$$).. I got defected a few weeks back n got a full epa.. took the car to get tested and got 87db and 89db on back off with a stock catback exhaust system and 3" front and dump pipe.. it doesnt matter how low u point it at the end of the day they can chcsk ur car on a hoist and test it which means ur theory of the sound hitting the ground would useless..

cheers

Herbie

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
