Very interesting.........never seen it before in any 33 i looked at.

Have you tried to follow were the brake cable leads to?

Maybe it's a Nismo sports muffler valve/noise control. I know the 34's had this option, never seen it in a 33.

Any unusual buttons on the dash?

Keep us posted

Can't be aftermarket.. Definately is stock.

That bracket fits in too well to be aftermarket..

+1 fot following the cable..

OH!

WAIT!

S1 or 2?

Because I know that nissan put in a exhaust valve mechanism that open under WOT and stays closed at lower RPM to help muffle an RB25 metallic resonating between 2-3 grand RPM

Its a series 2 96' r33

Id certainly say its stock and it doesn't connect to the aerial at all

So id being going with exhaust valve, would this explain when it hits 2grand and to about 3 grand it makes quite a loud... almost vibrating loud noise?

I just assumed it was because the exhaust is stock

Thanks for your replies, at least im pretty certain on what it is now lol

Hmm thought id get dad to check if it moves or does 'something' while i sat in the car revving around 2grand to like up to 5.... it didnt move... Soo ill still assume its an exhaust valve but i would have assumed it moved or did something at least lol

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
