Extractors/headers For P Platers

[drinkybird]

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

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 )

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.

[central coast person]

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 )

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could get extractors then sell them if you get a turbo,

and if your getting a whole turbo engine you could sell the extractors with your engine?

By the way, where could I get a heat shield made up if I purchase some extractors?? Im in the Fairfield area

cheers

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

[scathing]

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.

and you sure that the cops wont do me over with having headers?

[G0DZLR]

just heatshiled them with that plate stuff you can buy, its not like they can remove it to inspect it. anything they cant see isnt illegal

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 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
