Ok I have a 93' R33 GTSt. Some time ago I had a Kakimoto stainless cat back system fitted - no probs there. Later I purchased an X-Force 3" cat, HPI split front pipe and JJR split dump pipe. The dump pipe fits perfectly and is on the car, the front pipe however will not go the distance between cat and dump pipe (its inches short) plus the dump pipe end on it is the wrong angle anyway to match (could this be an R34 part :wave: ?). So its way too late to take any of this stuff back so what I now need is a decent front pipe that will match up and be long enough to go from cat to dump pipe and actually fit. Thanks for any assistance !!

well have you spoken to custom fabricators?

you may wana look into a custom exhaust workshop.....they may be able to weld something up to suit

and may be better on your wallet too......than trying to measure everything to suit

i have the same cat and cat back(brand any way)

Above as, just go the single piece dump/front pipe - 1 less gasket to worry about

Got mine from just jap and fitted fine, its a x-force bell mouth unit but its not listed on their website anymore - only JJR ones

ok further information on this for you... the part you have is the worng HPI part, its for an R32. i am pretty sure the R34 dual front pipe is the correct one. i just bought the R33 part from JustJap and its wrong. Does not fit at all, is short and is the wrong angle just like you said...

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
