Hi guys i want to get a turbo back exhuast soon.

I found this one that i like.

X-Force Stainless Exhaust System - Skyline R33 GTS-T Price: $950

3 inch turbo back system - 304 grade stainless

Now, I have a Redback high flow cat. Do I need to buy anything else other than the exhaust mentioned above? I dont want any hidden costs or parts that I missed.

Is it a straight bolt on oor is there any other stuff I need to know? Also how much is a fitting?

Thanks.

I'm going the trust hi-power extreme II cat-back for $899.

If you've already got the hi-flow cat, then you just need a dump and front pipe ($250).

Personally I'm going with a more trusted name, but if you are going turbo back, you won't get a better price than that and you don't need anything else.

As said before. You get everything. Dump/Front Pipe, Cat, Catback.

Sorry if I confused you. I was just saying if you already have a high flow cat, you can get a more trusted brand and a more proven package for a similar price.

Cheers mate... so 950 it is >_< Any idea how much itll cost to install? Any need for tune?

Its pretty easy to install your self, just remove the heatshield, unbolt the dump pipe from the turbo, unbolt ya cat at both ends and its just a case of unclipping your catback from the brackets. Some bolts will be rusted on though, so its always fun getting them off.

If you've got any mates who have got any idea about cars, you'll be able to do it in 2 or 3 hours provided you're not sitting there for an hour trying to get one bolt off like I did with my dump pipe >_<

An exhaust shop might fit it for around $250?

As for a tune, you won't need one, but a tune won't hurt, you'll still get some more kw with a tune. It all depends on your other mods, ideally you will get the most out of your car if you tune it after every mod, but thats just not worth it.

Most people get a FMIC, turbo back exhaust, boost controller, better flowing air intake (POD or hi flow filter), then start looking at a tune.

A mechanic with virtually no knowledge can do it for you.

Some mechanics won't want to fit exhausts though, so you may have to ask a few.

Its just a case of unbolt and bolt up the new one... Things will only fit up one way, its not difficult for anyone to do.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
