I have a few questions about this exhaust that some of you that have one on an R33 might be able to answer...

I have one on my car and I must say, it hangs really low around the resonator. Does any one have this exhaust on an R33 that is lower from standard height?

Has anyone attempted to bend the rods that hold it up to make it sit higher?

Has anyone been defected with this exhaust? Although I dont find it very loud, I've read that the standard exhaust comes close to the limit, so surely (according to that stupid test used to determine this) someone must have been told it is too loud???

Thanks

Zahos

I actually read up on the specs on the HKS and it's actually one

of the biggest there are avaliable. I've seen them hang pretty

low. I think its due to the straightness of the pipe..

Noisewise, they can actually get pretty loud so i would assume it

would be over.... Well.. I know of only 1 that doesn't have a cat..

:P

Can't you stick in a resonator to quieten it abit?

I've got a HKS super dragger... It's not very loud at all. Apparently I've got two resignators in the system so it's pretty damned quiet compared to other skylines!

But I have noticed that right in the centre of the car both length and width ways there is on of the resignators hanging down and boy does it get a flogging. I'm suprised its still there.

*shrugs*

I don't know but as I complain about all the time, we are kinda slow. I don't know whether its because we *are* slow or the cars I line up against have had a lot more money spend on them..

I don't really have anything to compare it to so I can't say yes or no.

I have a Super drager and when I got it I was finding it a bit loud at lower revs. I took it to an exhaust place and they fitted an extra straight through muffler which made no difference to performance and made it sound much better.

It was a very tight squeeze though, they put it in just before the rear stabiliser arm (just b4 the diff.)

Sounds really good, no drone and a lot more comfortable to drive. Sounds good when opened up!

I had them cut it into the spot where the resonator (hot dog type) one is and then reuse this also by moving it between this new muffler and the existing super drager resonator. It was a straight thru 3 inch type and it cost $170 fitted.

I know some might say that the Super drager is 3 1/2 inch so why did I go 3 inch, well 3 inch is still plenty big enough for heaps of flow (if anything 3 1/2 is a bit much) and when I upgrade the rest of the exhaust (front and cat), I doubt I'll find a front pipe or cat which is bigger then 3 inch, so seeing as it will only flow as well as the smaller link in the system -

It makes no difference to power (compared to std super drager) but made it sounds heaps better.

ps. watch where they put it because it is very tight for space

pps. sort of similar to the 3 inch resonator/muffler listed on Unique Autosports site but a little bigger.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
