G'day all , I was under my R33 checking out the exhaust to see exactly what I had under there and noticed that the dump and front pipe had some heat shieldind which looked like 2 piece mild/galvanised steel filled with a fibre galss packing .

Does anyone know if this is the original heat shielding which came from the factory ?

My cat back exhaust starts at 3" and increases to 3.5" after the first muffler . The dump and front pipe seem to be around 2.5" same as my cat . I'm just trying to see what I've got so I can finish off my exhaust e.g putting in a 3" front/dump pipe and 3"cat .

Pops, I would HIGHLY recommend you get the front and dump either heat wrapped, ceramic coated or HPCed - as without the stock pipe and heat sheilding you will notice a large in crease in engine bay temps. Plus as an added bonus, coating/wrapping can only increase cylinder scavanging (if it does, not too sure - but it wont hurt).

The reason I recommend this first is its an absolute PITA to try and do it on the car (heat wrap), or remove from the car to get it done. I did it the hard way:(

Some food for thought

Pops,

If you want the best deal on thermal coatings in Sydney - talk to Col Ivory @ Ivory Special Coatings in Smithfield. Did a set of extractors for me at 1/2 the price of HPC. Also does exhaust housings, manifolds, whatever & real quick turnaround too.

Hope this adds, etc.

Yep, you're right Steve,

The hotter a gas is, the faster it travels- if you can retain heat within the pipe...so much the better + your cat converter will be more efficient ( only works above a certain temp).

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
