Hi All,

Just wondering what u guys think of the quote and if there are any places around that could possilby do a better price. Also wondering what kind of improvements are noticed with a decent exhaust. Thanks

A split dump pipe is $600 fitted

A 5" ballistic cat with 3" pipe size is $500 fitted

A 3" system is $580 fitted + tip.

sounds a bit much to me. sure it may be worth it for the stuff they are using (possibly) but there are systems out there much cheaper. full x-force turbo back 3" in stainless stell for $970 from UAS. that doesn't include fitting, but you could do it yourself. would take about half an hour.

Hey mate,

Try x-force 3 inch turbo back exhuast. U can get for 800 (mild steel) or so. Good performance at good price. check it out at www.Justjap.com

Just search x-force n you'll see comments from other sau memebers who have purchased this product.

i run the mild steel 3.5" cat back system, with 3" x-force cat, ebay dump, and some front pipe that was already on the car. very happy with it.

hey sorry to go off topic here but im getting the same setup installed tomorrow, is the 3.5" loud? kinda worried about that they had no 3" avialable hehe.

as for the main topic, the prices sound really steep. shop around and like others have said eBay is your friend! good stuff off there. Just Jap do 3.5" mild steel turbo back exhaust minus the canon for $599. then just get a twin pipe muffler off ebay for $100 and ur set.

Not sure about the dump pipe, but the rest sounds like the going rate for a custom exhaust. Good choice with the 3" pipe any bigger you start to get lag, even a 4" inch cat will do the job might be cheaper than the 5".

Check out C.E.S exhaust just type it in google, they have the best dump pipes for skylines.

If you are running a stock exhaust, you will hear and feel the difference you will like it.

how does adding a bigger exhaust create lag?

i don't find the exhaust too loud. the rear muffler is only 3", but i have a mate with the full x-force turbo back (3" front, dump and cat, then 3.5" cat back) and it isn't really any louder. it sounds sweet at full noise. burbles a little on deceleration though.

Im not an expert but i think it has to do with back pressure so i was told, from experience with my car i had a 3.5" exhaust with a 5" tip hks cannon, the car makes 330 rwkw and it did have lag. The turbo didnt cut in til 4000rpm.

Changed it to a 3" pipe and smaller cannon, it feels more responsive quieter and the turbo cuts in at 3500rpm.

madd why does your exaust change size 3 times from turbo to tip i would have thaught keeping things the one size all the way through would be best

it may creat a little dead spot running a bigger exhaust but it till make more power everywere even tho you can feel a little delay stomping it with the stock turbo from low revs.. a smaller exhaust may creat back pressure and spool up quicker how ever it will be making far less power.. for instance a mates r32 was seeing 14psi by 2400rpm only made 126rwkw!!! with the stock turbo and a FULL 3inch turbo back exhaust (cat converter had fused together)

after we replaced the cat with a brand newy the car felt completely different to drive in every way.. havent put it back on the dyno yet but am looking at doin that sometime next week..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
