Ok wrong forum and all that stuff, however i thought some of you guys may know (IMMACUL8, Paul, GTRKEN etc)

I've been offered a good quality, 3" turbo back, S/S exhaust for $800. Its about 6-8mnths old and is supposed to be in very good condition. Sounds great etc

Second hand seems like a good option at the moment

Main questions are:

Its coming from a near stock 2000 club spec 4, so will it fit a MY97, without any hassles?

How easy are they to fit? and

Is this worth it, or should i shop around some more?

Cheers,

Mat

Thanks guys...

Dont worry SkylineGTR, i knew what you meant! :D

APPARENTLY it will fit no probs. Im not sure though. I'll PM Ken i think, Paul.

Would love a titanium exhaust but cant really afford one just yet. He's got reciepts and it was almost 2G all up. Its under a year old and is fully stainless steel.

If it fits ok, i think i'll get it.

Does anyone know how hgard are they to fit??

Docile , all WRX exhausts on the 94-2000 fit but get one that is from the turbo back ( not cat back) and make sure it has a separate or blended waste gate pipe. That is where the gains are..

Maximums sell a show quality one from the turbo back in Stainless steel , hi flo cat and a nice tip with a muffler that doesn't drone for $1750 + GST fitted.

Biggest hassle is getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe.

The rest is easy and a hoist makes it a lot simpler.

Cheers

Ken

Thanks heaps Ken. I have a feeling it was either a MMS or RMS exhaust... He said he payed around $1800 for it.

Its turbo back, so if its looks the goods, i'll buy it

I've got access to a "walk in pit" but my old man knows a couple of guys that run the Shell garages, so we could probably borrow a hoist for a little while.

The only bit i'm worrying about is "getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe"

Any ideas on a rough figure of an exhaust shop fitting it??

Cheers

Mat

dolice....

what modification do you want to make????

I have a MMS turbo back (all MMS are Norm Bulter built). The way to tell if its MMS i it will have a wastegate splitter built into the dumppipe (this is where the power gains come from as Ken was saying)...

To fit it its a piece of cake. We did took mine off 2 weeks ago, fitted my ew turbo and put it back on ourselves.....

Daniel, I just want to run autronics, FMIC, big turbo etc. Thats all in the long run though.

For next 6mnths or so i just want to have the very basic mods.

I'll sms him soon (he's selling because he bought all Rashaad's (the spoilerless evo 4 rex) old stuff, when Rashaad bought Hansens Evo 6) and find out.

Ok cool. He was saying something about having a splitter and wanted 1K for it (but whilst drunk at the ISD's he said i could have it for 7 or $800), so i'm going to buy it.

I know only the basic's so anyone with help / idea's / advice on changing exhausts, it would be much appreciated!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
