I don't understand how Titanium can crack..?

It is one of the worlds strongest metals...

I think they mean the type of exhaust setup... Most track cars may use Full Titanium exhaust (Cannon mufflers) like HKS for example and Titanium is very light to save weight.

Some of the aftermarket Oval Shape mufflers my use Stainless Steel.

Do they apparently after listening to a lot of heardsay. Its when they gets really hot and a stone or something hits it (chances of a gravel or stone hitting the car is much higher than on track). But someone told before as well... its really all luck dependent. How often do they get THAT hot? Unless you're flooring it all the time for a roadtrip?

If you like titanium and got the money, go for it (they sound awesome). But none of them are of legal dB limits (not THAT bad as well). I've decided to keep mine and spend the extra money replacing my rims.

That's understandable.

You got a point there.

But like you said, Titanium exhaust for street, how often will it get that hot just for normal street driving...

Chances are next to nothing IMO.

Well the one I was looking at is a full titanium system (not just muffler & no cat, i know)..

Safe/unsafe? ;)

As long as you can keep the dB levels to legal then you are fine.

Okay thanks for the info. As I remember it sounded really deep and lumpy.. mhmm.

I'm not going to bid on that one though. I was only interested because he stated it as titanium. Rather get one in perth and save the postage money. Theres one at Jap Performance Centre in Osborne park - custom made one for a R33 GTR (full stainless, includes cat) that i'll probably buy unless something else nice comes up.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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
