Hey guys just trying to see how many of u run external gate setups in ur daily drivers or regular use skylines.

Please say:

• what gate u running,

•if its plumbed back/screamer

•if u been defected.

Reason being im trying to decide if I should stay internal or run the risk of going ext gate on my daily R34 and risk defects, since I want to go screamer- actually I hate screamers but saw a coupla instances on the Kando thread that plumb backs reduced power considerably, hence no advantage of going external other than better boost control.

I hope you get a screamer, get defected and have your car crushed so then we all can get a break from your bullshit threads and dreamer comments...

Tial 44mm gate.genuine

Screamer

Melbourne, VIC, daily driver

have put "heatshield" over it

Yes it is great for boost control, mine is a straight line on the boost plot and it definetly helps with flow.

Downside is - and this is a downside - for daily driving you have to be careful when you put ur foot down. When I overtake etc, I dont really go above 3-3.5k, dont want to look like a muppet.

I believe part of the reason I havent had issues is my car looks relatively stock and I drive pretty reserved.

If you think you will just keep gating and you know u cant control yourself you are just going to end up with headaches of removing it and fines.

If I am completely honest, if I could be bothered I would pay for a custom setup where I can plumb it back in/ make it external relatively easily instead of always external.

38 tial v band, plumbed back, certified, doesn't seem to be restricing power? screamer will attract unwanted attention and will fume the car out like the biggest purposely made exhaust leak, they're not illegal just for the noise

Depends how many times you drive around atm and get pulled over.

If you dont get pulled over where you are and dont go around on gate where there are cops then you should be fine. Just make sure you keep the piping somewhere hidden a bit and not to easy to see.

Also make sure the screamer doesn't point straight at your steering rack. Those boots don't like screamers...

To be honest, I think if you need to think about whether you want a screamer or not, then you don't want one. You can't be in two minds about it, gotta be prepared to take the consequences if you get pulled over. If just the thought of getting defected puts you off then don't do it. You're not going to lose a lot of power by having the gate plumbed back in anyway.

Seriously Ron. You got commitment issues man.

Too many variables like the suburb, town, state you live in just for a start.

End of the day it's illegal, it's only your decision if you want to run the risk or not.

True, thats why Im having two minds about it, place is Sydney metro, so high risk area it is..

is it possible for it to have its own cat? or is that practical/possible?

It's really not practical. You would have to be driving around constantly on boost with the gate open for the cat to be at operating temperature.

Illegal also because they release toxic fumes into the environment as they finish before the cat. As for noise I dont really know why bikes are getting away on the streets roarling more than three times as loud as our cars..:/

Haha, Harley's have got nothin on a screamer...

Why dont u have the best of both worlds, flexible screamer pipe that can be bolted on and off when u feel like it, i just bought one for my build, not yet installed but i thought it was a good idea

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/35mm-38mm-Wastegate-Flex-Braided-Stainless-Dump-Pipe-Kit-w-MIld-Steel-weld-Bung-/261026731797?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc667d715#ht_3166wt_1396

I would never use one. So that question is irrelevant.

Think about it logically - its a flexi pipe that looks to be no more than 15cm. So you disconnect it from the bottom (because, you wouldn't disconnect from the gate end, that's just dumb)...

Then once you do disconnect it, all you have this loose piece of flexi piping swinging in the wind to vent "externally". You'd need to fab up some sort of mounting point and so on.

It is nothing that a welded sleeve/plumb back pipe cannot do;

1. Reliably

2. Cheaper

3. Easier

    • 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.
