installing is easy just jack it up and get under it, undo all the bolts you can find then line up the new system and do up all the bolts you can find haha

C.E.S very expensive for what they do.

I went to Rob Bliss for the same job at half the price.

I know what you mean

Trust is a bit of a rip off for turbos as well

so I went to ebay, and got myself turbo, manifold and wastegate for half the price

:blush: That made me laugh!!!!

Yep I've got a CES system, pricey but performs beyond belief, and best of all legal dB

I'm glad I went there, a friend with an R34 tried to do it for cheaper and got all the parts from CES had someone else fit and weld it up and ended in disaster....the car actually ended up going to CES to have them fix up what had been done and tune the length of the exhaust to remove all of the excessive drone.

It's not just a matter of custom welding a bunch of pipes together, there's a lot more on the technical side to getting flow and low noise.

A turbo and an exhaust is a bit different.

Its only my opinion on the decision i made at the time.

Not everyone has to spend thousands of dollars on an exhaust for a daily street car.

Sorry to hijack thread, but I thought it best to post here than start a new one.

I'm getting my exhaust done next week as part of my turbo conversion.

At the moment I'm looking at getting the exhaust done at Right Price Exhaust since it's just down the street from Hi-Power Racing who are doing the conversion.

So far I've heard good things about Right Price, but I just want a second opinion before I go ahead with getting them to do it.

I've been advised that the turbo and JJR front/dump and cat will have to be fitted first and then the exhaust done so to make sure everything fits up right, and as such right price being close by is a logical choice as far as that goes. Is it worth looking at other options?

I've got the JJR Front/Dump pipe, just the cat converter and catback is what I'll need, so won't need a complete turboback made up.

Been quoted $510 for a 3" mandrel bent system with resonator and canon tip, or $590 for the same but with a oval barrel twin tip. Reaonable? Excessive?

Thanks for the tip Dan, I'll take your word for it and go with Right Price, particularly since they've done it before. Didn't you get 2.75" though back then? Should I stick with 3" all the way? Still figuring out whether to go oval barrel twin tip, or a standard canon.

The original exhaust on the other car was all from an R33 and modified to fit, had a funny 30cm hump near the firewall to clear everything...think it was about 2.75" with a round tip.

Yeah get 3" I've currently got a twin tip, it looks stock :)

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
