a lot of people say that a 3" exhaust system is far too big for a naturally aspirated engine, and swear buy putting a 2 1/2" is buy far the best option.

im interested to hear what systems people are running on there n/a's and there 2 cents on the matter

which do you think is the better choice? 3" or 2 1/2"

Ive got 3 inch with the car

havent driven one with 2.5inch

I get heaps of complements with the silencer out sounds insane, with silencer in it sounds quiet as stock

Performance feels better than standard exhaust aswell i think

g'day james,

this topic has been covered quite extensively throughout the forums. it was proven that you can get away with a 3" system without too much loss of volumetric efficiency on an R34 RB25DE NEO however on an R33 a 2.5" system is considered ideal.

in your case if you are looking for an increase in peak power go 3" and if you're looking for response along with a mild increase 2.5".

have a search throughout the forums and you'll find loads of info supporting those.

yeh thanks guys and girl for ur input on the topic..

i thought the 2.5" was the right way to go...

im just worried about the car being to loud once i get the system fitted. atm i have a 5"canon on it and it sounds like shit (came with the car, i thinking its a no brander).... so wanted something sounding a little meaner.... i was gonna change the canon but as i said worried about the loud deep drone most na's have. and now im thinking of putting a fresh system in it...

r33 na's are stock 2.5" yeh :/ ?

gday buddy,

i just got the exhuast done on my 33 n/a. i was keen on a 3 inch but every place i went to said there was no way they were goin to put one on it, its just too big for a n/a, and lacks pick up somethin shockin.

i went with a 2 1/2 inch, extractors, metal cat, and straight through muffler, the resinator is comin off soon but i think it sounds awesome, has a really mean idle, and all the way through the rev range.

thats just my 2 cents worth any way

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
