as the topic states today i bought a fujitsubo 2.5" cat-bak exhaust 2nd hand for $150 bought it locally from rolin imports in burleigh on the gold coast. i have some pics up and will install it this weekend.The exhaust is stamped fujitsubo and jasma. just wanted to know how much this exhaust would cost brand new? also some stories about the performance of the exhaust if youve installed it on your na skylines? as well as the sound of it (sound files if available).

p.s any tips on undoing the exhaust bolts?

thanks guys pics are attached (this will be installed on my r32 gts25)

hey mate. fujitsubo are a good exhaust. i got a video here

of mine with a 2.5inch fujitsubo cat back. there not cheap i know that so for 150 bucks you got a bargain. if you need to get the exhaust bolts off torque wrench or breaker bar something long that you can apply more force with. just make sure you dont strip the bolts

just measured the width of the pipe and it actually is 3" not 2.5" i was misinformed by rolin automotive. how will this affect the engine? ive heard it will drone a lot but i always have the music up so it doesnt matter.i will still put it on just need these q's answered first.

my standard cat has a 2" outlet hole with flange, the exhaust has a 3" inlet hole with flange, the bolt holes for the cat flange and the exhaust flange are the same (11cm apart from middle of bolt hole to middle of bolt hole) so im guessing this will fit right??

can i buy new exhaust flanges from supercheap?

p.s later on i will throw a turbo on my car so it saves me having 2 buy a 3" when i do.YAY!

thanks again

sorry for the long post

well i take that back the jealousy then.

how will it affect the engine?

- it will be a pig to drive

- absolutely gutless at low rpm

- the sound will be like you said droney

- you will use more fuel

- more power at a higher rpm

flange sizes should fit, if not just re-weld a new set on at your local exhaust shop.

don't think supercheap carry flanges.

p.s later on i will throw a turbo on my car so it saves me having 2 buy a 3" when i do.YAY!

that is the silliest thing i've ever heard... it's not like you're doing any favors to your wallet by getting your exhaust out of the way.

the increase in fuel, emissions and power loss may annoy you long before you begin your conversion. but each to their own.

just keep in mind that the amount of kw you have is not an indication of how quick/well performing your car is.

You loose backpreassure due to not having enough volumetric vacume (WOOO! I USED IT EUGENE! :D )

I silencer will do nothing besides add weight and make your car slightly quieter..

Only way you can get ur back preasure back.. is.. go to a smaller zorst..

The exhaust sounds sweet, it is drony and i have lost my bottom end but my top end torque feels great, will post up an audio file of it soon, wat should i use to record it?

hmm is the opposite true? meaning that if I have a 2.5inch and i put a silencer in, it won't cause it to be restrictive again?

cheers

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
