Hey everyone,

Car is finally up and running well.

So I have decided on finally fixing the broken exhaust.

I have a rather large crack where the exhaust joins to my mid muffler.

Looking to replace the muffler with a aftermarket piece and sorting this issue out.

Any recommendations on a 3 inch mid muffler for my exhaust.

Something that is not so restrictive but nothing over the top loud.

Cheers,

Daniel

just put a second hand zorst on my 32 2L-t

3" to a huge straight through mid muffler, then going to a 31/2" and a small straight through cannon, friggin a lot quieter than I thought, and only $200 from epay

thanks again shifty

Just found them online for $120 delivered

I think it is the one someone else suggested because they have a nice deep tone.

I also just emailed the guy from AES about how much he would charge as well.

I'm also looking at fitting a mid muffler to my exhaust, since fitting the 6 boost with the gtx3076 the exhaust is so much louder than it was with the stock turbo and manifold on there.

Currently I've got a 3" stainless dump off the turbo, 3" cat which I'm unsure of the brand or the quality of it, the mid sections a straight through pipe with the only muffler being a x force varex muffler at the rear but if you drive around in the quite mode it sounds utter shit!

Good thing the short mid section is flanged so it's easy enough to get something made up. I'm prob leaning towards a stainless straight through magnaflow. I've had the aero chambers on my v8's honestly not to sure if I'd like that sort of deepness coming out of a skyline. Hmmm. Any other suggestions on mid mufflers?

Kind of hard to get measurements whiles it's on the car.

But I got under there with the tape measure and got the following measurements.

Length = 29cm (11.6inches)

Width = 24 to 24.5cm ( 9.4 to 9.6inches)

It also seems my current design is.

3 Inch centre inlet

3 inch off centre outlet

All of the designs I could find on the Hooker Aero were either

3 inch off centre inlet with a 3 inch centre outlet.

or

3 inch centre inlet with 3 inch centre outlet.

Not sure what to do in that situation

Any advice would be great.

Otherwise I guess I can just take this to AES and they can hook me up with a custom made one.

Are these mufflers directional?? Can't you just turn the muffler around?

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
