Mick how does your system go for noise suppression?

It would have plenty of flow capacity, be good to see pics for how it looks and fits.

It's a lot quieter then the 80mm jap exhaust I took off, it's not that loud until you get on the loud pedal then it gets up there, but idleing it has a nice tough murmur, Paul heard it tonight maybe he can comment on it

I have GT-RSs on the car so I needed as much flow as I could fit under the car

How about this , where your oxygen probe goes get a plug and drill/tap/braze whatever a take off into it and measure the pressure in the exhaust behind the turbocharger .

Compare it to boost pressure and note the difference .

It may not be a bad idea to pull the cat out and see if its blocked or collapsed as well . Changing that mid muffler shouldn't be a biggie surely .

That's not really the ratio you're supposed to look at against boost pressure though. Ex manifold pressure against boost - yeah, fine. But not really dump pressure. Realistically, if you have more than a couple of psi of back pressure in the exhaust you're looking at a substantial restriction. So measuring the pressure there is a fine idea, but you're really just looking for the absolute amount of backpressure.

It would also pay to measure after the cat too, just to see if the cat is the problem or if the mid muffler is the problem.

But, my 2c on that issue is (which coincides with a lot of opinions above)

1) Why not just drop the exhaust behind the dump and take it for a quick drive, see if it changes behaviour?

2) Unless there is a massive step down in the muffler(s) it should still handle quite a bit of gas flow without killing the power. So you have to wonder about tthe cat more than any other part.

Well this thread is about exhaust restriction and anything significantly positive behind the turbocharger under load tells a story . I just picked on the sensor location because it's an easy place to tap from . If that exhaust is restrictive and gets fixed the dump pressure should fall and so should the exhaust manifold pressure . Boost and power characteristics should change as well .

What do you guys think of this - ok or a pile of junk? The cat is a gutted catco item (what I was suggested with a bit of reluctance), the mid-muffler looks 3" in/out (no necking like mine), the rear muffler is a crappy jasma cannon but free-flow from the look of things.

System is off a 33GTST goin for cheap ( I know 34 is slightly shorter) and the I'm thinkin of buying it..

Doesn't seem too bad for $100

Has a gutted cat already and a 3inch in and out same side mid muffler so that shouldn't be a problem

Just sack that rear cannon as most jasma approved mufflers have a smaller inner pipe which the oval muffler should fix

Worth it for $100 imagine how much it will be for a new custom 3inch catback atleast $500

The step down pipe is rarely in the mid muffler

Is almost always in the rear muffler or cannon

If the mid muffler is stepped down it's usually on the inlet or outlet and not internal as that muffler isn't offset so will be straight pipe thru just perforated and packing around it

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
