rb25

thanks ben

well, im going to remove the masking from my brakes, put it all back together and thats the front done minus the sanding of the NISSAN things. pretty happy with em in the end. took too long tho'

yeah nismoman18 - the only people who drive my car is me, gavin wood and Dave that works with gavin.

dont wanna brag but yeah - it sounds awesome. rb25's have that nice deep torquey sound. and at the top of the revs it sounds best

i got a custom mild steel system made. the bump on the dump pipe where the wastegate is, is stainless steel tho' - if you understand that.

nite sweetr33

i was at gavin wood's the other week and Dave that works there was testing my clutch. he just booted it down the road to redline in 1st and 2nd and it was the first time id heard the exhaust from outside. it was quite loud and full on really....

im using a supercat muffler - its round and has a 5" tip. nice sound to it...

will you be going on the cruise next month? i probably will be..

every 2 weeks

in the back. it is loud but i just turn the stez up and it drowns it out actually off boost its reasonably quiet. you couldnt do a long trip in it without some tunes to kill the noise.

hey ben. how are ya

ummm - ive got a dump/front pipe in one piece, then hi-flow cat, then the muffler, no resinator.

for sure sweetr33. when i got the exhaust put on i couldnt believe how much more power it had

not for a while. not until i get new rubber on the rear which is very expensive. maybe in a few months....

yup. im back. went to bed - had a really bad headache all of a sudden. just got up and had something to eat. feel ok now but ive got a cold....

lol. my ricey brakes are goin really good now

sweetr33 - make sure you get pics of yours when you get it.... i might cook some food. bbl

ben, are you a ricer?

thanks mate i got heaps of avatars chaos

back...

Recently I performed some intake temperature tests. They are not dead acurate but are atleast an indication of when heat soak is affecting your engine. I used some digital thremometers from jaycar for the tests. The car: 1993 R33 GTSt, 3" turbo back exhaust, 8psi (stock) boost, stock intercooler, pod filter with cold air partition (95deg neoprene heat shield). Ambient temperature: 17degC 1st Test: Cruising at 110km/h Pod = 15deg AFM = 15deg Engine Bay = 35deg 2nd Test: Stuck in traffic (45km/h max.) (heat soak had set in) Pod = 35deg AFM = 37deg Engine Bay = 55deg 3rd Test: On boost hill climb and high speeds Pod = 14deg AFM = 12deg Engine Bay = 33deg 4th Test: Heat Soak After pulling up at a set of lights from cruising at 110km/h, it took 3 minutes to reach full heat soak as shown in the 2nd test. It took 7 minutes of driving at 110km/h again to fully get rid of it..... 5th Test: After idle for 3 mins Pod = 40deg AFM = 43deg Engine Bay = 60deg

the setup was stock boost and stock ic and cold air partition....

and to add to that - i had the car on boost on a hill climb and the pod temp was 17deg and the afm was 13deg. so on boost it actually cooled the afm section atleast....

i used 3 digital temp gauges....
