Ok need some words of advice here,

I currently own a r34 gtt, which has a 3 inch front pipe, hi flow cat and 3 inch apexi cat back exhaust. I am not happy with the 3 inch exhaust as it is off a gtr and sits very low and scrapes over any little bump in the road.

So anyway I have a 3.5 inch fujitsubo cat back exhaust sitting in the garage, it does not bolt up to the cat because the flange is too big for it. I am looking to upgrade the turbo to a hypergear high flow, bigger pump and injectors etc..

Should I:

  1. Fit the 3.5 inch cat back to the 3 inch system already on the car, will this effect sound, performance by much?
  2. Remove the 3 inch system fit the 3.5 inch cat back and have a 3.5 inch dump pipe, front pipe and hi flow cat made up/bought? Is a 3.5 inch system over kill for my setup?

Any serious advice is appreciated.

Cut and reweld the brackets holding the current 3" system so it sits higher, and exhaust shop could do this or if you have a welder you could do it yourself, alot cheaper and makes more sense than having to stuff around with flanges to attempt fitting a 3.5" cat back...

3" is plenty for the flow youll get out of a highflow turbo too

This is spot on

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
