Hi guys,

I've been slowly buying parts to upgrade my car

I've got turbo (HKS GT2535), intercooler (Cooling Pro Stealth Series for R34), front pipe (JJR Bellmouth)

Is a cat from a R33/R34 bolt straight on? I'm looking at a magnaflow 3inch cat that has been flanged already and want to that it will bolt straight on

I'm going to custom the cat back (don't want a cannon tip and can't find what I want around)

the last bit is the suspension - this is proving to be a nightmare...I don't know that the group buy is still going...if it's not going - that what options should I go for (don't want coilovers - too much hassles and I have read the suspension thread and made even more confused :D )

Yes, 34 and 33 cats use same flange pattern, bolt on.

Have you considered one of these ? Mine came with the flanges, bolted straight on, very happy with it.

I fitted a JJ Bellmouth and Hi Flow X Force Cat. Fitted perfectly on my S1, with a 3" Cat back, as supplied

Increase in power most noticeable and saving about 2l/100 in fuel.

yeah I would love to get a metalcat but there are none around and I have spoken to some exhaust places around my place there is a massive back order for these...they recommended me to go mangaflow (that's my second choice) or to wait (which I can't)

If I can find a metalcat that I can get straight away then i'll buy one

just get the x force metal cat. cheap and good. be sure to get the high flow one its worth it.

Thats the one I got from JJ. Also put in a new O2 sensor at the same time.

I just came op the mountain and the difference with the X Force and bellmouth is amazing.

Before it was like 3 grand plus and 4-5 psi to keep at 60kph, now it comes up at 2and a bit with no boost, so in effect the S1 now comes up in D and not 2nd, hence the better fuel consumption.

Also fitted a hi flow panel filter caus I have a cold air deflector.

I have had a HKS 2535 on an R33 and I tried 3 different exhaust combinations and let me tell you the 2535 is a great punchy turbo but it really needs to breath!!!

If you can gut the cat and you will never look back, it really does make a massive difference.

It also makes your rear bar turn black from the carbon deposits your exhaust puts out too. But who cares when you've got a Stagea that blows flames? :/

Well I got a magnaflow cat. got it for $280. Now just gotta go to the exhaust place and get the cat-back made up. Xmetal - the reason I didn't get a X-Force 5 of my friends had their one collapse on them after 6 months.

I'm going to go custom as I don't like cannon exhasuts (personal choice) and can't find a aftermarket dual tip exhaust (or maybe I haven't looked hard enough).

I was thinking to go for a de-cat...but i guess i want to go for a sleeper look

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
