ive had to move my r33 gtst about 30meters without an exhaust on today and i will have to do it again for 50 meters tomorrow, will this cause any problems???? i ask this question because the idle was everywhere and in the short drive there is allot of loss in power.....

yes yes i know epa and cops would love to be there when i start her up tomorrow morning....

anyway the car sounded like a dragster without an exhaust, i mean not just the cat back, but from the turbo.....

cheers

no there won't be a problem. plus it will sound ful sik.

actually I'm surprised you noticed it drive differently it should be the same. just a shitload louder

if the idle is uneven you probably have another leak somewhere on the intake side

yeah sounds like a rotary dragster lol fully ssic....

well i didnt rev it past 1500rpm so i really cant say for sure but i thought it might have been weaker.... could just be my imagination....

also what is this intake side???? and where would it leak???

ahhahahaah yeah i forgot to reconnect one of the pipes from the engine lol, i didnt disconnect it so i didnt know it was un done.....

the video turned out like crap due to video phone so its already deleted..... its not hard to take of the exhaust, just 4 bolts and 2 nuts and its off....

if i have a free hour and a good video amera i'll do it again and post it up for all to see....

also i was told running a car without an exhaust is an $8k fine, ive heard something similar before but does anyone know for sure????

anyway my car is now a full turbo back exhaust and still sounds awesome, nice deep gurgle, very tough sounding... i do recommend a full turbo back exhaust and highflow cat for any car...

After doing my RB30DET conversion all I had was the dump pipe off the turbo, the exhaust shop was 7km away and I drove it there without any problems, the only difference I noticed was noise and the smell of running without a cat ; )

  • 3 weeks later...

you will never guess what i just did

i removed my exhaust just leaving the down pipe. i have always wonted to but never could be stuffed

so this was a good reason

it is not going to cause to much damage because there is a little heat shield

but taking of the exhaust will only make that car sound like a dragster but i didn't put my foot flat so maybe the car could run better with the turbo going all out

i'm putting a video of it on you tube

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
