Hi everyone, just bought an exhaust. I paid for it thinking that it was 4" in diametre, and titanium (as described by seller).

It turns out though that it's only 3.5" and now I'm strating to wonder if it is actually titanium as well.

So, does anyone have photos of titanium exhausts? Or could you descripe it's apprearance??

As you can see from the pics, this one is shiny and has a yellowish tinge to it. I've heard that stainless goes yellow over time, but I really don't know for sure. I've always been under the impression that titanium is dark and shiny, but maybe there are differnt types....

I understand that titanium is supposed to be light also, this particular system (with cat pipe) weighed 16kg's accodring to the freighting company. Does anyone know how much their stainless catback system weighs? Maybe we can do a rough comparison/estimation..

Also whats the go with welding different types of metal together (ie stainless and titanium)? Because this has a stainless steel muffler (as described). I was under the impression that titanium welding was very tricky... But I really don't know for sure....

Cheers.

it's stainless, no doubt about it. looks like quite a good exhaust though, but deffo not titanium. if it were titanium it would weigh very, little and be a very different colour.

Still a bloody nice looking exhaust even if it's not 4" or Titanium....

On the topic of Titanium Exhausts.... anyone know a supplier in Australia for Reinhard? I love the "trumpet" on the Amuse R34GTR :laugh:

btw reinhard hydrich was one of the biggest mass murders of all time as one of hitlers right hand men. i have nfi why they named and exhaust company after him... wierd co-incidence i guess.

how loud is it though? :laugh:

pretty quiet actually it's not the single straight through it's a twin 2.5" splitting off at the cat. It's had a bit of a scrapping though, wonder who can/how you go about titanium repair. Not that anyone would notice and there are no exhaust leaks.

haha! you outbid me on that exhaust...:laugh: I really wanted it but got to $400 and started looking closley and realised it wasn't titanium. bugger about it being 3.5 not 4.

Still looks like an excellent exhaust. also comes with the nice noise control valve.

still, yiu wouldn't have got a better exhaust for the same price. I just paid $700 for a xforce stainless 3" system I would have piad that much for the one you bought looking back on it :laugh:

Still, complain to the seller as it was advertised as titanium and 4" make him refund you some dollars.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
