I can recommend Johnny Macs, he is a good bloke and fixed my exhaust on previous car (after another exhaust place botched it) also did the exhaust on the skyline.

If you look at any of the cars in there you know they are serious (not to mention they are regulars out at drags)

This the exhaust he was talking about?

cheers mate... good to see, but i will see if anyone else thinks hes worth going to.. an that exhaust im just no sure seems a bit gimmicky to me, BUT! does sound nice.... (still really want the hks, but what u gonna do huh..oh well).. what would U reccomend..?? exhaust wise?

i've used them a few times a couple of years ago. Friendly guys and they did a good job, can't complain about the prices either.

I had them fit up a Trust exhaust & front pipe to my S15 and they made up a cat-back system for my dads VX commo.

Why not just buy a bolt on option? They are so cheap these days and fit strait on. Or even a second hand exhaust will be fine, I got myself a ss catback ganadore exhaust in perfect condition for $250 off ebay!! They are worth a hell of alot more then that!

Have a look in the Classifieds section for something in your price range. As for fitment, do it yourself and learn about your car.

If you cannot find some thing you like, ask some members for some sites that stock R33 bolt-ons.

    • 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
