It has a branding on it. "Calsonic".

They make air conditioning bits and so on...

Do you have an active diff? We just discovered another box under the parcel shelf of series2 R33's is a fuel management unit of some sorts... so who knows what sort of gadgetry that box of yours is!

Calsonic make exhaust products too, and I beleive the R33's came with an optional exhaust control valve. A butterfly that opens or closes the 2nd outlet from the dual-outlet muffler.

And guess what!?

28488 comes up as "CONTROL ASSY-MUFFLER"

Soo... have a look at the right-side exhaust pipe from the rear muffler, if your car is standard. Does it have it? I checked mine a few months ago, hoping I had it. =-[

All you need to do now is buy the apexi "power control valve" (used to quiten aftermarket exhaust systems), as it is electric, and murge this unit to it. Hence, automatic noise ajustment ;).

And if the cops question it just say it was a factory option :O

Japs come up with every gizmo for their std cars :lol:

nice one!! i have never been pulled over im my car in the two years that i have had it. i think the fact that the small (2000 people) town that i live in helps and that one of the cops down here as a R33 4 door that drowns my exhaust systems out helps as well. plus another of the cops has an bmw m3 with a big exhaust systems.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
