Hi guys

Has anyone noticed that on the stock R34 GTR rear muffler the right tip is almost not been used? Firstly there is almost no black exhaust deposit, and secondly, after a drive that right one is is only warm, while you can't touch the left one without getting burned.

Is there maybe a spring loaded flap in the box that only opens up the right section at a certain amount of counter pressure? Or what is the reason for that?

There is a spring-loaded flap that only runs it at high enough flow rates. Nissan did this to reduce noise at low load/RPM while reducing backpressure at higher flow rates.

You may well be the only person in the world still choking an R34 GTR with a standard exhaust!

It's not quite like that  ;) I've put that backbox on my daily S13. Got sick of the drone all aftermarket mufflers give, what is a problem of their design, because all of them are absorption type mufflers, and these just don't work for low frequencies. So that stock resonator type muffler (all oem mufflers are resonators) that is designed to work for a 300hp engine is the perfect solution for my daily. Also MOT is very strict in my country, so as a bonus its says "Nissan Calsonic" on the box  ;D

Thanks for your enlightenment. That's what I though and what makes sense  :)  Would you know of a picture or a diagram of that System by any chance?

Not sure there's any great pictures online, if you stick an inspection camera down the muffler you'll probably see it.

In that case, you just quadrupled your car's value :rofl:

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
