is there a difference in extractors, im talking custom made ( the type that are blue coloured ) or stainless steel extractors? depends on where you go i guess, i couldnt get "pre-made" extractors at all for my r34 n/a so had to get custom. r33 n/a might be a bit different, if you speak to Eug, i know he organised a group buy a while back.

is there a noticeable power increase? not necessarily. i gained responsiveness not kW's

does anyone have the custom extractors? yes i do. (pics included)

whats your opinion on them? worth the money? i am extremely happy with mine, the guys at Exhaust Technology here in Adelaide were brilliant, and even took pics for me :blink: the cost $680, and took about a day and a half from memory to do. i got many quotes exceeding $1000 and a week plus wait for them to do it in. a load of frogshite i say. it dosent really take that long. they just choose to dely the process by doing bits here and bits there.

When i got mine done (1000 i think i was for the full system)

i was on my learners (so wasn't thrashing it around) and it took the guy fairly long to do but didnt really mind as i was on Ls so i couldn't really compare power. And i havn't been on a dyno ever so havnt measured my KW's.

He had to do them custom too, he couldnt find anything from his suppliers that would fit so he decided to make em custom and he took a few shots for me and even lent me his camera to put em on my computer, great guy (Jay, from Hillside Exhausts in furntree gully) i recommend going there for anyone around the area good products and good prices and a friendly service. Nice little workshop he has there too.

ill post up a couple of pics in a sec

the welding on those extractors looks neat.

i don't like the look of the collectors though, a quick look at where the pipes branch into 1 looks like it might be a spot for a bit of turbulence.

will agree with heat wrapping/hp coating.

Has anyone gotten their headers made from titanium?

Anyone care to hazard a guess at the weight saving?

And with heat wrapping.. is there a special technique? or just wrap and use a hose clamp to tie off the ends?

cheers boys and girls :D

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      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).
