Just bought a N/A r33 manual and have some questions.

Regarding the 4 stud wheels.. what wheels fit?

what is the offset and information I need?

what are some other cars with the same pattern?

will s13 and 200sx wheels fit?

Where is the best place to look for second hand wheels?

Could multistud wheels fit?

Also the car has a stock exhaust which i want to make much louder, something like a 2.5 or 3inch exhaust, what will I need?

how much do I need to spend?

Where can i find good second hand exhausts?

Do any other cars/models fit an r33 N/a?

Will a turbo exhaust fit?

When they say cat back does that mean it is including the cat?

Any information will be highly appreciated.

Also yes i have tryed to search and failed to find the info that I need

Thanks,

Nathan

First off, welcome!

As for the 4-stud wheels... my N/A 33 had the 5-stud conversion when I got it, so I can't help you there.

The exhaust however... I can :)

The previous owner of mine put a JASMA 3" mandrel-bent exhaust designed for a high-flowing turbo 33 on there... had just a single resonator and then into two straight-through cannons. It was *very* loud (I loved the note it had!)... certainly well over the legal 90dB. Anyway, eventually I got EPA'd for noise pollution and had to get it replaced. I got a 2.5" system made up from the cat-back, two resonators and no milo-tin exhaust, and that's bang on 90dB. Still roars when you give it some stick, but now I can come home late at night and not wake up all the neighbours! The major difference (apart from the volume of course) however was the power delivery. With the 3" system on, there was not enough backpressure or something... the power (what little power you have on an RB25DE) started to be delivered from around 4000RPM and would pull ll the way to the red-line (about 6800RPM). This meant you really did have to do a fair bit of clutch slipping for sedate city driving, as there just wasn't enough low-down torque. With the 2.5" system now, the power is there much lower... say 1800-2000 RPM, and tapers off around the 6000RPM mark. This certainly makes it much more driveable for a daily.

The 2.5" system, I got made up for a couple of hundred (was about $250-300, but that included the actual EPA testing...), and as much as I loved that deafening roar that would set off car-alarms jsut from driving past, the 2.5" system is much, much better.

Oh, and cat-back generally doesn't include the cat. :)

Thanks for the reply Samon.. is your Jasma exhaust for sale?? :)

anyway I am not to worried about the performance side I'm only interested in the noise, as the N/A is certainly no performance car. Although i definatley do not want to loose any power.

When you say 250-300 is that a full exhaust system? where could i get it done for that price

I dont want to spend more than 300-350, thats why i'm looking at second hand.

If i found a catback exhaust for a r33 turbo, or r32,34 silvia or some other nissans would it be a straight fit?

Also does anyone know rough 1/4mile times or 0-100 times for a r33coupe na manual?

Not from personal exp, but from reading another thread on here some time ago.. 0-100 for na manual was about 4.5 seconds

Ummm... I think you'll find that was for a turbo... my N/A when completely stockers was getting around the 6.0-6.5 sec 0-100, and around 15 sec 1/4 mile. (Measured with a G-Tech Pro... not 100% accurate but pretty damn good!)

Sorry, the old exhaust is sitting in the garage for when I do my turbo conversion :)

Pretty much any exhaust shop should be able to make one up... that was just a mild-steel one with pressed-bends... if you want stainless or mandrel-bends (really overkill for N/A though...) you're gonna have to pay more. Oh, and that's just with a crappy looking piece of 2.5" black pipe coming out of the rear muffler, no tip or anything. I was only interested in a pass on the EPA test!

Any exhaust from an R33 will fit, be it turbo or non-turbo, but liek I said, too big and you will really loose the low-down torque and driveability. And remember... 2.5" pipe through two mufflers is still damn loud! The N/A is much louder as the turbo on the GTSt acts as an extra muffler, filtering and chopping up the sound that leaves the block... everyone I know says that yeah, it's better (i.e. quieter) than the old exhaust, but still damn loud. I can still set off car alarms occasionally :) Get it inside a multistory carpark (i.e. at my work) and people can hear me coming a few levels away... and that's not me giving it stick either! The other advantage is that it doesn't 'drone' like it used to. At 100ks on the freeway there was this horrible drone that would drive you crazy... now, gone.

Seriously, put a 3" exhaust on an N/A 2.5L engine, and you'll regret it.

hey nathan... im kinda on the same boat as you... but i done the turbo conversion so im trying to find 4 stud wheels as well and there isn't much out there... the 3 spoke Advan wheels are pretty nyc if you can find some second hand ones.. there are also LENSO multi stud wheels which also look pretty nice.. i think they are the GF7...

as for exhaust... i have goten my hands on two catback exhaust systems... one is a kakimoto 3-3.5 inch exhaust and the other is a Fujitsubo i think 2.5 inch with a twin outlet.. looks similar to stock but bigger and better flow.. i think i might put the kakimoto one on my car so the Fujitsubo exhaust will be up for sale... if your interested i can take some pics and we can discuss a price... are u in melbourne by any chance? as postage can be a pain... thanks :P

Thanks for all the replies so far guys!

few more questions

So basically i need a 2.5inch exhaust from cat back? when people say 2.5in catback is that including a cannon?

also with the wheels.. what other cars wheels fit??

What do i need to look for when looking for wheels?

all catbacks come with the muffler at the end.. some have a cannon.. if you just want the look of a big cannon sticking out the end of ur car then jst go to any exhaust shop and they will weld you a cannon onto a piece of steel and onto your cat... cheap around 300 buks but they can be loud and drony...

here are pics of the exact same exhaust i will have for sale.. found these pics from an old for sale thread... my exhaust is the same as this...Fujitsubo, a quality japanese brand.. twin 2.5 inch outlets.. and two mufflers...

thanks

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
