im currently looking round for an exhaust for my stock r33 gtst.

havent got any modifications to it, im just about to start them.

first would be the exhaust, which brings me to ask you guys,

are the exhausts they sell at autobarn for the r33 gtst any good? im asking this cos i get autobarn items dirt cheap. would like to get value for my money.

this is not the muffler, it is an actual exhaust, however i dont know if it is from turbo back, or etc.

recommendations???

ta guys.

(next step is probably an intercooler in case anyone needs to know etc)

really depends what you are after, loud and "look at me" or bit more timid? dump and 3 inch front pipe, plus hi-flow cat are a must then from there back depends on how loud you want it. What brand is the autobarn stuff?

get any 3" cat back exhaust to suit a skyline then get yourself a BATMBL (bos importing) 3" split dump/frontpipe to match up with the 3" catback system

your local exhaust shop should be able to do you a decent 3" catback system with good flow for around $800 fitted

Yes those DRIFT branded autobarn exhaust are good value, far better that your local exhaust shop jobbie... they come with lifetime warranty etc...

i would not be happy to have the name plastered all over the car if i thought it was shit.

Autobarn can get all the major exhaust's that you would be able to get. Trust, Blitz, HKS (though the HKS ones are a bit hard to get now), Drift, X-Force etc. So it's not so much "Are autobarn exhausts any good" its wether the particular branded exhaust is any good.

thanks for the replies, i wasnt too sure what kind of exhausts they offer, but now seeing everyones replies, got an idea of what they may have now.

might be going for a trust exhaust, maybe hks if i can find them. which brands do u think would offer best performance?

BLITZ nur-r ($1000ish) is the nest performer, the GREDDY PEII ($799) is nice and quiet round town yet opens up under full noise the HKS is just stupid price wise locally so i would forget it.

these prices were accurate when i set them at autobarn head office proir to resigning in december.

Hey guys, sorry for the minor hijack, but BATMBL isn't selling the dump/front pipes at the moment (supplier issues), so what would you guys recommend looking at next? I've looked at the JJR's split dumps, are they any good, and what's the diff b/w a split dump and a single? haha too many questions :thumbsup:

Split dump seperates the exhaust gases from the internal wastgate and joins it up near the end of the dump pipe. Should increase spool up and make more power.

All in one, or also called a bellmouth dump pipe, doesn't do this and all the gases just go through the same pipe.

go for a one peice front/dump pipe, its a bellmouth, spools up quicker, and when connected to a decent exhaust

system, they sound great, i picked my mild steel 1 peice up from a local sa supplier for $375.

On a stock turbo the split dump pipes are better, they are ment to make more power. However on most aftermarket turbos the split dumps cause overboosting problems (mine did) and most people then go a bellmouth style dump.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
