lookin at gettin this zaust system....

noob to this exhaust stuff and limited knowledge of mechanics so plz dont go abusing me.....

this is a cat back exhaust system isnt it?

post-44636-1202963152_thumb.jpg

is the right upgrade on a 33 for better performance...dont need to go and get other parts for the zaust....? (like dump pipe and split this and that?)

let me know as u can see.....fairly knowledgless in this field!

any advice is welcome

Cheers

mate,

there will be some minor increase of power with a catback only exhaust but at the end of the day if a real power increase is what your after (and headroom for the future) the cat converter and the dump pipe are the weakest link in the standard exhaust.

if your just after a nicer note and some bling out the back then a cat back is fine.

That does look like a cat back exhaust. Make sure it will actually fit your car. I would recommend getting a 3" split dump and front pipe aswell as a high flow cat. This will make a much more noticeable difference plus if you intend to do any more mods your gonna need to upgrade the whole exhaust not just the cat back

while im here and u can see my lack of knowledge in this area....

what does the split dump do? as well as the front pipe etc.....

may as well have these answered once and for all....

thanks

Thats a HKS Silent High Power catback exhaust, will fit your r33 perfect, i have one on my r33 gts25t, gave a decent gain but the biggest gain i got (after i had installed the catback) was replacing the cat converter with a decat pipe, which is illegal in aussie from what i know, so even just fitting a highflow cat should give you a decent gain to.

basically its just a way of combining the exhaust gases from the engine and the turbo's wastegate with minimal turbulence (hence better flow). with the standard setup the gases just collide with each other. its exactly the same theory as putting extractors on a naturally aspirated car.

This isn't prolly a bad idea anyway but i had to purchase a new O2 sensor (its an oxygen sensor that screws into your dump pipe) as the after market split dump had the mounting hole lower than the stock item and the current 02 sensor lead was to short. Went and got me a brand spanking new NTK from Bursons for i think like $80 (maybe less?) and fixed the issue. (as well as the vehicle probably running more efficient as 02 senors get a little destroyed from years of exhaust gas)

looks to me like the cat is already welded in the exhaust so really you have a dump back :whistling:

im assuming thats a good thing then......

can someone else plz confirm or deny if this looks/or definately already has a cat on it?

thanks for all the info so far people!

Thats a JJR cat back exhaust ... the thing welded into the zorst is a small resonator <--- I know this cause I just had one put on plus split dump and Hi flow cat!!!

This item that you are looking at is a great fit ... mine runs about 10mm off the floor pan it does have quite close clearance to the hicas though which doesn't really matter :whistling:

I would recommend thought if you are buying it new to get yourself the JJR split dump pipe and high flow cat ...

The split dump pipe helps to rid your exhaust of turbulence around the back of the turbo which will allow the motor to flow more air and hence more power ... the split dump and cat will add more power with or without a cat back zorst.

You will need to probably re-gap you spark plugs down to 0.8mm though to avoid ignition problems :D

If this is your first round of mods I recommend:

*Front mount cooler kit

*Full turbo back zorst with split dump pipe and hi flow cat

*Boost controller set to 10 psi

The next round of mods after this start to become fairly expensive and include:

*Fuel pump

*ECU + tune

*Suspension and brake mods to help with safety and the increase in power.

umm there not that quite man ... rather loud actually

if you put just the dump and split pipe on it won't make it very much louder but if you put a cat back zorst on like this it will be quite loud in comparison to standard.

where you located I can show what it sound like if your around Wollongong :whistling:

so which zaust system are the quietest apart from stock?

want the extra power but not the noise.....

sorry im mid way up the qld coast line...u got this system on ur ride? or know of someone who has....?

^^^ yeah champ ... I've also got the split dump pipe and cat as well.

They made quite a difference to the power my car made ...

The best zorst you can get are from hi-tech mufflers in Sydney ...

Their exhausts give a wicked sound, will pass DB test .. they tested one on a R34 GTT in hot 4's vs a similar style exhaust as mine, and they make as much if not more power than the equivalent loud ARSE jap or massive cannon equipped zorst systems again this has been proven also.

The downsides are ...

They are in Sydney and they are expensive!

Thats not a JJR catback, its a HKS Silent High Power catback, its says SILENT On the exhaust tip (you can see it in the pics but not very clearly) ,i have the exact same one on my car.

And yes they are a bit loud (not drony though) ,far from being "silent"

i still think its a cat in there its bolts around the other way (from what someone suggested) you can see the hanger on the other end the hangers go at the back of the car, and you can also see the bend where it geos up to the dump pipe, i might be wrong though....

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
