ey guys need some help on wat do, im stuck.

my next thing on my 33 is to get my exaust done, ive been quoted 1050 dollars for a 3" stainless turbo back exaust? wat does everyone reckon, good price? should i worry about stainless or jst go mild steel? or does any one have ant bolt on kits that i could buy or get from somewhere???

also for my FMIC wat should i do, found a cooling pro kit that connects straight up to the stock intercooler pipes. i dunno wat i wanna do, how easy is it to fit these after market FMIC in the stock front bar of a r33 series 2. Any one have any hints or tips for installing them.

Thanks For the help guys

Adam

Id have a look through the trader section for exhuasts, there are quite a few who supply a wide range of exhausts. As for the cooler, i just fitted my type 2 cooling pro kit. Jenkies had to make custom brackets for it, but other than that, no problems at all!

Sounds like a good price, but does it include a high flow cat? Stainless muffler or resonator? Do you know exactly what it is going to sound like? And what volume it is going to be? If the price difference isn't massive I would go stainless every time, as it will last a lot longer. If you want to be prudent, get them to change over your turbo exhaust housing studs while they do the job - can save you heartache down the track.

I have the cheap-ass JustJap intercooler and it works great. Not sure if it is cooling pro or not. If the one you are looking at hooks up to stock pipes then I would assume not. The big problem with a cooler that joins up to stock pipes, it that it presumably has a long pipe running the length under the intercooler back the the stock pipes - these can hang below the level of your bumper bar. If the one you are looking at doesn't have that pipe, then they are bugger to install - you have to cut a hole in your engine bay wall for the return pipe, lose your air snorkel, and trim your clutch fan blades.

Either way you are almost certainly going to have to trim your reo bar, and will definitely have to trim the inside of your bumper bar, to fit the cooler in. These are not difficult jobs, but not for the faint-hearted either. If you are not pretty strongly mechanically inclined, then I would pay someone to fit it. A pile of SAU people had a go at installing a members intercooler one afternoon recently, and from memory didn't actually complete the project within a day :D

yeah like nightcrawler said! i think i was quoted just under 2k somewhere for exhaust, it included a cat, resonator and a muffler! but it was gonna be abit loud, i think the last r33 they tested was like 96-97 db with the same exhaust! i wanted it quiet so i shopped around and pick up a jazma 3" cat back for cheap as chips! got a 3" xforce front/dump real cheap as well! i then picked up a 3" high flow cat from an r34 for like 50 bucks! but i ended up decating my own cat but all up i spent around $500 on my exhaust system! just shop around if you don't wanna pay that sort of price

as for the fmic! i have never run into one which just fits directly without any modifications! i always ended up bending pipes and adding some on

cheers for all the reply guys

as for the quote it was for a 3" stainless dump pipe, that has the 2 seperate pipes for wastegate and exaust gases, a 3" high flow cat, and a 3inch piping while ill keep my cannon at the back, i was wanting it to keep the same/similar sound as it has now as its not to loud and sounds alrite atm, jst need the flow casue it kinda feels restriced at higher rev ranges. I think ill jst try find a FMIC and get soem1 to install it casue cbf tryin to cut the stuff on the inside of the front bar i dont wanna stuff it up.

That price sounds really good for a split dump, high flow cat and 3" stainless right through including install! A stainless split dump is $250-$300 and high flow cat $200-$300 on their own.

Nigel does some quality work there at streamline. He usually does all the pipework and fabricating from scratch from what i've seen, which is probably why youve been quoted that much.

I reccomend his work for sure!

He actually worked on my corolla exhaust last weekend after somehow mysteriously blowing the rear muffler :D

Another +1 for Nigel at Streamline.

He fixed up the loose exhaust manifold for my R34 back a few weeks ago, great guy to deal with - seems very genuine and was happy to show me around the car and what he'd be doing, etc.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
