Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

i've recently got my catback exhaust put it... anyway my mates saying i should get "front and dump pipes" anyone know whats the difference between this and 'extractors'? thanks..

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

sorry people but im learning, hope you all can be of help.

thanks

thanks!

Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

i've recently got my catback exhaust put it... anyway my mates saying i should get "front and dump pipes" anyone know whats the difference between this and 'extractors'? thanks..

Extractors (Exhaust Manifold) is what your turbo is bolted on to, Front and dump pipes is the pipes which connect to the exhaust manifold / turbo.

It is the front part of the exhaust system then your cat converter then your cat back exhaust.

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

Tuning / Remapping, it can be part of the same process... Eg if you want to run more boost, ppl usually "remap" the ECU to improve Air / Fuel ratios and make sure they are correct when running higher boost, that's whats called tuning.

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

It's your suspension setup.

This allows you to adjust the height of your car.

It give your the advantage to lower your car to improve it's handling.

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

:P Could be just your tyres rubbing up against the inner wheel guard when you do a full lock right turn.

You got bigger wheels and tyres on the front?

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

A front mount intercooler (FMIC) does not make the "Fluttering" noise, only an aftermarket blow off valve (BOV) makes the flutter / dose noise.

FMIC will only gain your performance if you are running a high amount of boost to improve your cooling.

You already have a stock BOV and no need to change it.

Aftermarket BOV are useless, just makes noise and that's it.

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

:) ... Never heard of this before.

Only reason I would turn the key and wait 2-3 seconds before starting it up is to allow the fuel pump to get the fuel pumping...

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

You might have to ask a few R33 GTS-T owners on here.

thanks

thanks!

:D Cool!

you know not to hold your wheel at full lock right its bad for your power steering pump..

the delay in cranking could be an aftermarket fuel pump priming, is it noisey when cold?

as for the 1/4 mile ET there is so much room for difference (suspension, tyres, driver etc)

you would have to go to the drags and find out, saying that I would assume low 13's

get a front and split dump pipe and tune it then find out :P

:bunny: Cool!

gotta love the way you answer questions!

tops! :P

do you guys reckon i need extractors for my full exhaust system? also

since i got adjustable coilovers, is it hard to higher/lower a car? and is it expensive?

No you will not need aftermarket extractors unless you have a modified (bigger) turbo.

I have not done it myself but I don't think its hard to adjust your suspension, just takes time and you will probably need a wheel alignment after lowering the car.

Just get your mechanic to do it and it should not cost too much, whatever labor cost your mechanic charges

gotta love the way you answer questions!

tops! :/

Haha!!

Thanks buddy! :(

    • 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.
