Thanks Eugene, 'Eug' for going to the trouble of organising the group buy and getting a great deal for the rest of us N/A'ers. Everyone came together really quickly and there seemed to be no major hassles! Well done to everyone else who took part too. So.. In time let's see some pics, videos etc of your install's guys! :happy:

The rest of my exhaust is 2.25 (made by hi-tech) I might look into a new cat I suppose :)

Looking forward to the change in song from the extractors.. I was running a torch along that part where the extractors will replace and the seal is broken etc.. so yea.. should sound tough =D

Edit: Just looked up Hi-tech, just a bit out of my way lol

What was Hi-Tech's service like? Is there one in the Melbourne Area?

Cheers

They were great, at the time I was pretty clueless about the whole exhaust situation, but they explained it pretty clearly. And they knew their stuff too looking back on it now. Unfortunately I don't think they have a melbourne location too (from looking at their contact info) http://www.hitechmufflers.com.au/contact.html

edit: sneaky sneaky sean'0 lol why did you edit your question out?

lol, "Very sneaky sir"

I was waiting for the "ahhh dirr go to the WWW" when i read my Q again :),

What have you got in your current system? (not really interested in brands or whateva, just what components) so i don't sound like a dummy later lol

cheers

I have 4 inch tip.. oval shapeish muffler that leads onto the 2.25 piping.. then a resonator.. then the cat.. That's the best I can explain it?

All the components up to the cat were created by hi-tech..

Yep,

Thats exactly what i wanted to know, i didn't really want to get a cannon, i was thinking one of those "oval" mufflers like you descibe. I was also looking into someithing with twin tip, hmmm so many decisions...

Cheers :P

no worries jeremy...

since most of us are dealing with a similiar situation, i'll put in my 2 cents. choose your exhaust system carefully, especially on NA cars they will tend to be very very drony. NA_R33 had a set of these extractors and a titanium 2.5" system with a cannon - the headaches you used to get sitting near, around, in the thing was enough to drive you nuts!

stick with something simple and pay attention to resonators.

let us all know how you go with your new systems

  • 2 weeks later...

Just on what Eug said, resonators are pivotal, u have to go to an exhaust shop with alot of experience with twin cam engines otherwise ur car is going to be the worst sounding thing ever. Twin Cams are renouned for giving a metallic reverberance sounds that is considerably hard to combat for and old bloke at an exhaust who only does systems for old clunker V8's and or a young 17 yo at the time who decided the best way to fix was to make it so loud you couldnt hear it :ninja:

  • 3 months later...

Gday Gents its been a while eh :), well I'm finally getting the whole exhaust done TODAY!!

So far I've got the extractors, 2.25" custom mandrel bent piping, resonator, cat and an oval Magnaflow muffler.....so it should sound the shizzle :(

I'm gonna pick the car up in about 2 hours or so....... i may be a while, but i will be posting lots of pics up for everyone to have a gander

Once again,

Eug your a champ!!

Nice nice. I might throw up a sound file or vid soon if i get the time.

Edit: I also need to get rid of this sig.. It was meant to be a joke, but no one has said anything yet, starting to think people are like wtf is that guy on..

Sounds good buddy, I'm probably gonna get a few sound clips and possibly some "in-car" driving shenanigans :(, i'll see if i can duct tape my camera to my passenger seat lol

Actually i wasn't going to say anything.....but not that you mention it :(, i was thinking...."ahhhh ok, friends forever......what the hell" lol

Anyways, yeah i'm pretty friggen excited, i'm about to boot down to the shop in the nxt 30 mins so wish me luck eh

ohh when i get the car home i'm gonna clean out the AFM and re-set the ECU just for good measure, then its off to ge the car clean for some pics tonight in my secret industrial zone :)

But for shizz, i'll put all of my vids and pics in this thread

Talk to you l8ter brother,

Regards,

Sean'O

no worries Sean, keep us updated... glad i could help

Nick, what catback do you have? that actually sounds pretty good (pre-extractors), how does it sound higher in the rev range?

i might have to get some audio files of mine... i'm not quite happy with the catback (stock 33GTR for the moment) it's a cheaper temporary alternative.

below 4K mine is pretty sweet, when i get up it and want to hit the tracks or a skidpan it just has a loud metallic scream which isnt quite what i'm after.

Got a hi-tech 2.25 catback. Sounds pretty nice at high revs, I'll go warm it up tonight and take another vid of it with extractors revving to 6-7k or what ever :)

i wanted to get in on this group buy but dad was bit crankey at the time and would of shot me for it. bought a pair from jus jap for 150bux few weeks ago. i got a vid of it running extractors cat and a straight pipe. sounds hidious but loud.

what headers did you get from just jap? i asked them ages ago and they had nothing...

i agree with the hideous, it's got a very umm... "raspy" note to it...

would be keen to hear the hi-tech nick... i've been speaking to someone else, who has a trust catback... would like to hear that too...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
