Are you kidding?

Its not like you even had to look too far.. there are currently 3 or 4 exhaust threads.. all 4 of them with the answer..

2.5 inch is good for responce

3 inch is good for top end

What to buy in terms of product.. anything will do - just not a generic "one items for all cars" product.

Where to get? Forums is good place for cheap brand name products.. Ebay for BRAND name items (not supershit items). Internet web sites.. but these can be grossley over priced.

Cat back wont give you too much of anything though.. just a little more poke.. not much.. and a completely different sound.

Buying second hand will always be cheaper.

Dont buy supercheap products.. it will sound like a fat man fatring in a can

And next time search..

  • 4 weeks later...

I've seen this on eBay...though I haven't been able to find much on Rapid Auto Parts in a google search.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-...1742.m153.l1262

They "appear" to be a quality built cat back, I have no idea about what the mufflers on them are like though. If anyone here has had experience with them I'd be keen to hear it.

As above, its only really going to change the note. You need a full system to really change drivability. Remember your na relies on a certain amount of backpressure (unlike turbo), and can only flow as fast as the smallest restriction cat forward. There might be slight improvements from the scavanging effect caused by the pressure drop over the two sized pipes (cat providing the baffle/smooth transition of exhaust flow) but a full tuned system always has a much better effectiveness/efficiency at scavaging or pulling power from the motor. Save a little more and get a full system, you'll also save on labour in the long run.

Anyway you'll have to do a bit of searching to find what your looking for because the improvements are so small and hard to judge on a n/a catback system

On an N/a skyline i wouldnt go above full 2.5" and that will support all future mods albeit turbo coversion. Might find mid range drop off and top end increase without (torque move up rpm) them though. Only bother if you intend to

^ yeah i was going to get 2.5" as the stock system is too quiet but i realised its a waste of $$ as im going turbo early next year so i might just stick with this for now.

2.5" wont gain much over stock...

might just put a cannon on for sme sound lol

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
