Some time ago someone (presumably a cop) had reported me to the EPA for excessive noise pollution.I got a letter from EPA which said that I had to go to one of approved (they give you a list) exhaust places,get them to mesure the noise,recieve a certificate and fax it back to the EPA to get clearance.I went to my friendly local exhaust place and asked for advice.Ididnt really want to change my exhaust.What they done was cut a piece of aluminium in the shape of a flange which joins the cat and cat-back pipe.Drill 3 or 4 very small holes in the middle and slip it between the cat and the cat-back.Cant really tell from the outside.I took the car to the approved joint with a green on my dial whatching him.At this point I have to mention that I took my car there the day before to mesure what my noise level actually was.After parting with the required $50 I was informed that noise is 108 db and then they tried to sell me new exhaust.Now, he was frantically going over and over trying to figure out why the car is so quiet all of the sudden as everything was seemingly exactly the same as the day before!Fu*king looser.It surely was one of this "Mastercard moments"-priceless!!!Anyway,He wrote down the indicated 87db on the certificate,which I then promptly faxed back to the EPA.Rang them up to confirm.Took the "restrictor" out.End of story.

Cheers

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
