if uve got the do$h then do the whole zaust system , extractors back its worth it if u can afford it, if not a cat back is fine.

Dont go higher than 2.5 inch and dont go lower than 2.1/4 inch not worth it.

To avoid attention from the boys in blue dont get a fat, angled cannon, a simple twin tip will suffice, plus it looks stock.

Heat wrapping or heat coat the headers either or both, depends how fussy u are.

You will be able too feel a difference from your new system, makes the car feel alot more responsive

if u are in the sydney area google 'best mufflers', 'liverpool exhaust' and 'tuffy mufflers' ring around and get some quotes

and lastly, enjoy your ride :D

here is my input, Just put a decent filter Pod/Panel and just go a cat back. dont waste your time/money

as i have a r33 s1 gts and thats all i have, yeah its no race car but hey thats what u get for being on your P's these days.

just stick it out and save for a turbo conversion OR sell and get a turbo car.

" catback with pod still beats most 6's and 4 "

Here is what i have done since you cant do power mods.

i got my stock r33 and added what i could eg,

bodykit inc - Trust front bar / Vs side skirts / Vs rear bar / Carbon fibre bonnet.

18" chrome wheels, Super low king springs, Exedy racing clutch, 2.5" cat back exhaust.

stereo, painted my brakes, got some axs seat covers, painted plastic interior parts.

basically anything i could to keep me satisfied.

BUT now...

come december 8th im off my P's and i already got my shopping list together,

DONT bother upgrading your n/a engine to turbo "been there done that" its so much easier to swap and drop and u know it will run properly!

u just go get your rb25det motor from an auto wreckers and put that in with a wiring loom and ecu.

Anyways here is what im doing now for my conversion,

- $1800 Rb25det Engine + loom

- $1300 Apexi Pfc w/Hc

- $130 Turbosmart Dual Boost Controller

- $399 JustJap FMIC

- $110 Sard FPR

- $245 Bosch 040 Fuel pump

- $350 Z32 AFM w/Adapter

- $1174 Varex adjustable cannon - 3" piping - 3" highflow cat

- $633 GFB Deceptor Pro Bov

- $600 Dyno Tune

Total = $6471 ( ide like to upgrade injectors but will do when i get my plenum and fuel rail done / when i save :banana: )

Brakes! yes u should upgrade your 4stud to 5stud and get turbo brakes to now stop this powerful build of RB,

Correct me if im wrong, but i think u can just upgrade your rotors and brakes on the 4stud which would be cheaper

and it will still do a great job of slowing your new built RB down.

YES! some will say what a waste of money sell it and get a turbo model!

I Think! just save your money for the next 3yrs on your P's and u will have the turbo car u want.

"I dont know if anyone feels the same but i dont wanna see someone else driving around in the car i built"

so as i said i built up my looks/exterior of the car how i like it while i was stuck on my P's,

and since i was stuck for 3yrs i saved up money and now i will have the performance aswell.

Oh and just so u know how much power i was putting out with just 2.5" catback and a pod filter,

"i had injector problems thats why i had it dyno'd"

and i got a power rating of 110rwkw with the blocked injectors, so i was happy with that.

sweet, my fully reconditioned engine is at 167kw with a pod and heat shield. But then again i dont drive it much now that i hit a wall because semi slicks are the devil!!!

I agree with you for not getting rid of your car. Its still yours and going to be a turbo and everything will be the condition that you know because you have had the car for 3 years and its not to expensive so your thinking smart......As for brakes the NA brakes are fine you just need a really good pad (changing the caliper should be better but from what i have heard people say there is almost no difference with the turbo pads to the NA pads :thumbsup: )

If you get good pads then the rotors are even more important and if you want to stay 4 stud you will have to order r33 GTST rotors from DBA but ask the engineers to drill the 4x114.3 hub bolt holes. It can be done because i work at supercheap and plan too get some nice 4000 series from them.

Handling is the way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just get a heat proof coating and wrap them if you must.

That won't look stock though.

With a heat shield obscuring vision, a cop looking under the bonnet will not be able to tell its not stock.

Hey people i finally got my system done, (yes i know lagged heaps haha) but i went to Liverpool exhaust and got a stainless steel 2.5inch straight through exhaust and ceramic extractors :D car feels so much more responsive now (would like to know the power gains though), sounds unreal. It set me back abit but all worth it if you tell me.

cheers

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
