Hey Guys

I posted this in forced induction performance a few days ago and then realised for such a Perth-centric question, it was probably a dumb idea. Thanks Mr.Keets for your response though - I will certainly look into it.

I recently bought a SII R33 GTS25t and yeah, I'm loving it! But I'm starting to get used to it now and I want more!

I was wondering where you guys have gone to get your exhaust systems, what expereriences you've had (good/bad) and how much it set you back? As the subject says I'm after a 3" Turbo Back system, but as I'd like to build a sleeper, I'd like it to look reasonably stock and not be too loud. My aim (eventually) is to surprise the hell out of that feller with the blue and white R33 and LED tail lights in my bog standard looking crate.

Cheers guys

Iain

P.S. Blue and white R33 guy if you're part of the SAU crew; what have you got under there? It sounds... interesting :)

go to performance/exhaust workshops such as Briffa Engineering (top work), hyperdrive, evo-r, xspeed, ovaboost, or top racing...

i bought a dump second hand for 150 and got a catback ( *cough* no cat ) system welded up in mandrel bends and shit to a muffler

all in all my exhuast system i paid $430

Hey, thanks for that. I like your car btw. 324 rwkw, how'd you arrive at that? And from the little bit I can see in your sig, your rims look sweet too.

thats RWHP not rwkw, i was shocked @ reading 324rwkw aka 420rwhp by 3100rpm (thats nutz)

most places would do it for about a grand give or take 1 or 2 hundred

depending on brand also etc

but yeh most places that alpinestars mentioned are fairly well known

(did briffa engineering do your exhaust?)

Ha ha, yes mate you're quite right. I did sort of half wonder. My mate's 32R makes 300 kw at the wheels and he's pretty much reached the end of the road as far as mods go. So I was thinking shit, this guy drives the same car as me and is making more?! There must be something pretty special under there!

Not that 324 HP is anything to sneeze at!

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
