Guys,

I'm really lost here... :confused: , Trying to organise an exhaust system for the GTR R33, current I've got form the cat back & want to do the front section..

Some places call it "front pipe", then some say "do you mean the engine pipe?", & on top of that do you mean "from the turbos".. :bonk:

I have attached some pics, from UAS site.. But all I want is to replace the front section, The dumps I'm not worried about at this stage coz I'm running stock turbos. But a place in Victoria "mufflers Now" apparantley have a 3in system from the turbos back including the dumps, but this system has no flex joint.

Please if someone can tell me what the name is or what I should be asking for I would really appreciate it.

UAS Site calls these Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Front Pipes

The exhaust is split into three pieces. Dump pipes come off the turbo's and are about 30cm long (pretty short). They connect to the Front pipes (like the ones in your pics) and go from the Dump pipes to the Cat. Then the rest of the exhaust is the cat back - like what you have at the moment.

Adding just the front pipes will give you an increase in power, but if you want more power, go the Dump pipes and the Front pipes.

Thanks Jay,

I can get a 3" system which includes the dumps & front pipe from "mufflers now" but worried coz this system has no flex joint, & also told that 3" is too big & would drone alot. Where as most front pipe systems seem to be dual 2.5" into a single 3". I'm not worried about the droning that much but thought the benefits of the dump included in this system would help alot more.

i was also lookin at a flexi joint front pipe when i was doin mine, but the guy that i ended up goin to said that u only really need the flexi joint if ur engine is mounted across the engine bay( as in not stright the middle but 90deg from wheel to wheel if u get what i mean) and if ur engines pullin huge hp due to the way the engine twists under load. then again i only drive a gtst and not a gtr:D:D maybe i should shut up now..lolz

Sorted it all out :) , That's what happens when you end up following a referral from SAU, & 3 in 10 refferals are half wits. The last shop as I stated in my thread above, was talking about a GT-T pipes, until I explained for the tenth time, it's a GTR Sunshine, you know the twin turbo... :Bang: "ooooh" he says, "we do skylines all the time, we're the biggest in the country, the system I was talking about is for the Single turbo." His next question was "what's your budget we can do you front pipes for around $1000." when I ummmed & rrrrrd "with dis-belief", he suspected my budget was not that much, so he says, "some people only earn $400pw & some earn a couple of grand, if your budget is tight we can do you a system for around $400~ but it will be a cheap system"... I replied "mate, I wish I earned $400pw, I'm on the dole?? how much can you a system for now". Then I just hung up.

Thanks heeps guys. :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
