Hey all,

I really need some help regarding my exhaust.. I currently have a 3inch BOS importing dump pipe which did connect to the exhaust which i have posted in the pictures below (4.5inch tip). Due to EPA i took off the catback and just replaced it with the stock system without changing the dump pipe in order to clear.

I was just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to how and who could modify my exhaust to make it a reasonable dB without losing too much performance as it is way too loud at the moment.

One more thing, ever since i got my new dump pipe installed this crackling sound has started.. it has been coming from underneath the car. Used to happen a little bit when i had the stock dump on but now it has gotten worse and i cant seem to get rid of it. It comes when im accelerating at low revs and when i take my foot off the accelerator.. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thanks in advance guys.

Alan.

Resonator/muffler or move to qld :D

Is the noise more rattling or what? have tried to replicate the sound at idle with bonnet up to see where the noise might be coming from? Could be a number of things leaking gasket, loose nut/bolt, wastegate not firm up against the housing, contact between heat shield and dump pipe etc.

Its more of a crackling sound than a rattle.. Lifted the bonnet up and gave it a rev and its coming from the right side of the engine where the turbo is but im not positive on what it could be. Im thinking it could be a leaking gasket or something.

Try grabbing the actuator rod with pliers and pulling towards the front of the car, sometimes the actuator can loose a bit of tension and make a similar noise. Also check everything first because the last thing you want to do is go to all the effort of taking the turbo off to find the gasket is not the problem.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
