Hey,

I currently have a 'Hks Silent, Hi-powered' cat-back exhaust system. I was reading an old thread about Wilch doing up his car and people were suggesting extending the exhaust first, from the turbo back.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, however, i don't know a lot about exhausts. What would be best to get done? I love the sound of this exhaust at the moment, but would love for it to improve and increase the power a bit also, ready for future modifications.

Also, where to get it done?

It's a '98 R33 S2.

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Cas.

I've had 2 exhausts (on 2 separate turbo nissans) installed at AAA exhausts down at richmond and am pretty happy with their work. I'm no expert though, I just know they're priced reasonably and my exhaust sounds nice. (3" stainless, hi-flow cat, 2 mufflers) ;)

Look in the for sale section, people are always selling dump/front pipes and you will save alot of money buying one 2nd hand then buying one new, as for the cat if you don't have a highflow one try the Just Jap high flow cat there like $160 delivered for sau member and alot of people from here have used them on there cars and said they work perfectly.

But if you want something made up you can't go past Exhaust Technology on goodwood road hes a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and his work is top notch.

i live the next road over from deacon avenue (AAA Exhausts)

they do a bang up job. All the mechanics in the are reccomend highly. I was in there the other day and they quoted me $50 for a cat back install. $1400 for a complete stainless 3" system (from the turbo) so their prices a reasonable.

Definately keep them in mind.

$1400 is reasonable? :glare:

marky at ET did my custom twin flute junBL system for a touch under $900, $250 for front/dump pipe and used a gutted out stock cat. thats using JunBL stuff which is very pricey, the lukey system was around the $600 mark for catback.

all in all, AAA know how to make systems, only reason i would pick marky to do it is he's had tonnes of experience with imports and knows what exhaust goes with what the best, he gets all his bends and piping from AAA anyway so u are paying a premium, but still, they do good work down there.

Go split dump & front pipe (>single 3" dump/front pipe). There's plenty off the shelf items & for value for money - hard to go by something like the -> Just Japs item. Also, recommend Metal or Catco's barrell type cat as they'd still be the highest legal flowing ones around.

I thought $1400 sounded just a little too much myself.

$1400 was a good price installed without haggeling them down. The bloke did say come in when im ready and they will do a deal.

Id probably just get something off Justjap and get AAA or my local mechanic to fit it for me (give it a crack myself first though)

a jack then would have helped and you still would have saved 100 dollars. EDIT: and 3 hours lol.

      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).
