Well after a long wait, and a lot of patience i finally took the plunge and attempted to fit a 34 GTR exhaust (Impul) with stock GTR cat to my GTT split dump/front pipe from JJR.

Several hours and a broken turbo stud later and its on, but...

I can now confirm that a gtr catback (at least the one i bought) does NOT bolt up to a gtt, it is infact too long! its about 3/4's the length of the cat too long, so about 8-10inches

So now as it sits, i have my JJR 3" front/dump, mated up to the mid section of the cat back, minus the cat, with about a 8-10inch piece of custom pipe to make up the difference in length, which then joins to the end pipes/muffler

Further more, when i get a new cat, the system will no doubt need a little chopping and changing to accomodate the size, assuming its longer than what is already there.

So no, a gtr catback will not bolt up to a gtt without a little customization.

Big thanks to all the guys at Al's Race fab and mechanical, worked tirelessly through the night to get me back on the road

the hangars were ok, a little tight toward the back of the end pipe,

The Impul gtr exhaust sat perfectly in the centre of the cut out section in the rear bar, nicely tucked up under the car.

The stock gtr cat would bolt up to the 3" dump/front pipe i got from JJR, but i dont know how it would go with a stock gtt cat, im not sure if the flanges would be on the same angles

RusH, you know you could have just bought a R34 GTT exhaust system... :D

Straight bolt on fit and I am sure IMPUL make one if not other Japanese brands make exhaust for the R34 GTT.

i spent $550 on a full 3" turbo back system... im fine with the customized way :), jumped on a good opportunity when it presented itself and got the full system at a great price (installed for free as a bit of a trade off)

:D sure is

Will be getting the mid muffler removed shortly to increase the noise and putting in a metal cat as well

well i have to say, with the oval tip muffler and the mid muffler, the exhaust is not much louder than stock, it would be great for a stealth application, but id like a little more of that RB growl :)

Yeah true, I too just bough a Veilside Oval shape muffler (Cat back) and before it was on a R32 GTR, heavily modified and it sounded quite, so it should sound similar to my stock cat back, but just a tad louder.

BTW, GTR exhaust's have twin out lets into one - molds into the front pipe.

So what did you have to do to make it fit? Block off one of the inlets on the exhaust? Cut it off? Block it off?

Well mine is a cat back, so its only a single pipe from the cat section back, so it was just a matter of lining it up and bolting it in, a new piece of pipe was used to make up the extra 8-10inches after removing the cat.

That is all mated up to the GTT bellmouth dump/front pipe

So did you buy a full exhaust or just a cat back... :P

I can see a pic in your avatar, got any more?

^^Looks great RusH!

The fitting looks nice and neat too.

Good exhaust flow for sure.

Thanks dude,

Its tucked in pretty good, and has decent clearance, so it shouldnt cause problems when i get some coilovers on, and it doesnt rattle or move about either, so all in all im pretty happy :P

Wonder how well an R34 GTR exhaust would go on an R34 GT-T sedan then, if it's too long for the coupe.... There's an R34 GTR cat-back exhaust I'm eyeing off at the moment - but I don't want to go to too much effort modifying it to fit.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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
