This has been mentioned a few times, but also make sure you get 2 mufflers to reduce cabin drone instead of 1 muff 1 hotdog or whatever.

Interested to see what you get as i'm in the same boat but don't wanna spend 1k+ for a jap one.

mmmmm. where to start

ok.

Just Jap sell a bellmouth 3inch stainless steel turbo-to-cat pipe for $220 delivered roughly. get that.

get a high flow cat converter

for the rear, I believe a R33 4door cat-back system will fit BUT it will need around 30cm welded on in length.

you do NOT need 2 mufflers.

A nice 3" straight through muffler (i use a Kakimoto gtr-racing muffler) is fine, best just to get an exhaust shop to fit the front section, measure the back section and then custom bend the pipe section from cat converter to muffler, welding the muffler on for you.

easy.

  • 2 weeks later...

i got a quote from everlast mufflers for a complete system, dump pipe, (bolted strait to the turbo) apparently theres some type that bolts onto the stock pipe :S. high flow cat. and the bak has 3 inch mandrell bent stainless steel with a cannon for $1600. he said he could do a 1200 one using cheaper metals and lower qaulity cat. and if i wanted i could mix and match... what do you guys think of this :S is it just me or is it fu*kn expensive?

well i have a split dump, highflow cat and 3.5" Greddy cat back system and i paid roughly the same price from memory......if your going for an aftermarket option then definatly worth spending the extra on a good quality metal pipes mate....its a good upgrade and highly recommend a good quality system...i have had it for a couple of years now and its given me no problems at all....apparently D&T and AAA exhausts are very good with prices and quality workmanship....AAA recently gave my mate a quote on using stainless steel from turbo back $1200

I've got an R33 system (twin cannons) about to be fitted to my Stag. I'll take note of any changes/problems and give you guys an accurate account of how it fits.

BTW I'll be throwing on a muffler between the cat and cannons to quieten her down. :D

Don't forget, there are different grades of stainless steel.

Some SS systems can still rust easily.

:D

Demand and supply.

Lots of people want exhaust work and are willing to pay what the shops ask.

go to exhuast technologies and speak to marky, he is good with prices and everyone knows his shop and product, highly rated and great quality, or D&T at salisbury and speak to gav, he is the person to talk to bout import exhuast systems.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
