Currently looking into available exhaust options for the Skyline Coupes CKV36.

Was wondering what people run, as our cars aren't heavily supported in AUS.

Well aware that you can run 370Z exhausts on our car with an extension pipe but my import has the 4WAS module stuck to the back of the diff making it incompatible with most available G37/370Z exhausts (HKS, Motordyne, ARK, etc). The 370Z exhaust all bend inwards towards the back of the diff before straightening out making it incompatible.

I was initially looking at Tomei for the weight savings but it hangs way too low for it to be driveable + do not want to be a police magnet. (NSW Limit 90dB -> Tomei 112dB)

Bit of a reach but if anyone here has a Skyline Coupe CKV36 with a 4WAS module, what exhaust setup are you running?

Yes, all custom built by myself. no idea on the cost, was all part of a larger build. Was quite a few years ago too, so materials are probably friggin double now.

No idea of your situation, but the cheapest way imo would be to get what you want in 370z fitment & then pay someone to mod it to fit properly. Would be way cheaper than building from scratch. Decent exhaust work isn't cheap. Just make sure they're not a "Press Bends & Mig" shop.

If you decide to go full custom, following my layout may help save some dough, go to my build thread & it leads to my youtube channel. I documented the full exhaust build there.

Cheers.

Custom is probably quickest and cheapest for pretty much any JDM unless you stumble across some ebay junk

Noted :)

The exhaust setup looks amazing!

Thanks for the information, appreciate the help :)

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
