Hey guys.

During my travels of deciding whether to get wheels or an exhaust first on my 96 gts-t

ive come across an ex display Blitz Nur Spec R 3" stainless CAT back exhaust (cannon with a 2nd muffler further down the pipe. which they said retails for almost $1000. they are offering it to me for $740. Firstly. does this sound reasonable. To complete the exhaust i still need a Cat and the front pipe. The price i was given for a front pipe (new- from a catalogue was $299) (blitz also) (This is all NOT installed)

I guess the main question. Does the Cat back price sound good. as i can worry about completing the exhuast later. 2nd question. being 3" i assume it'll still bolt onto my stock cat until completed later down the track. And lastly and most importantly. I would love to here comments from people who have owned a Blitz exhuast (pref this model, but in general). regarding sounds levels on and off throttle.

As far as doing the whole exhuast at once. I could. but i still need some coilpacks first, so trying to gain power before sorting that out would be pointless unless price is spot on. Not to mention a good set of 18"'s would at least make a standard looking S2 R33 stand out a bit more.

Cheers for your thoughts. Luke

It sounds alright. Best bet for you would be to check this site out - www.nengun.com

Nengun sells parts striaght from japan shipped over. They're not the cheapest you can get, but their price is cheap, so it'll give you an idea.

Thats if they send him the right part :whistling:

Well. just got another quote today from a local exhuast shop.

Full exhaust turbo back, mandrel bent including cat, and cannon muffler for $970. sounds good to me. But i think i would rather have a named brand. But i guess an exhaust is an exhaust at the end of the day. I can always change the muffler at the end of the day

What are your thoughts? considering i can get a full exhuast for only a bit more then the blitz catback.

IMO, definitely go the name branded one.

The quality with the exhaust shop one will just not be there. Sure, it's one thing cutting up some bends, welding on bits of straight, bunging on a muffler or two. That'll make the exhaust come out of the back of the car, sure. But will it sound like shit and rust out in 12 months?

Imagine the design work that blitz put into the exhaust - they'renot a one of job, they're designed to be produced in numbers, so more expense can be put into the design. When you look at the exhaust, it looks like a piece of craftsmanship. They look so nice that you don't even want to put it onto your car, because it'll get dirty.

yeh thats my main concern being sound and quality. although the full (cheap) system did get

plucked out of their book as a full kit. so its not just a bunch of random bits thrown together but yeh.

its a tough call. but i have to admit. that blitz catback looked pritty horn.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
