Hi

Just wanted to know what sort of cat pipes and down pipes people are using got a vq motordyne engineering cat back exhaust sys with xyz pipe which is awsome cost a bit and customs was a bit of a hassel but it was worth it. Now I want to complete the rest of the exhaust with hfcs and new down pipes and headers. So any help with down pipes and cat would be great

Thanks

hey mate nice purchase. which version did you buy of the exhaust? the VQ? i got the shockwave TI and it sounds awesome :)

headers, are generally very pricey. will cost as much as the exhaust! labour prices to install them are high too, becuase it is a massive job to install the headers.

most people have tomei headers. otherwise you can go and purchase USA headers like stillen or other brands.

also, with the motordyne exhaust you have purchased, you can change the part after the XYZ pipe, to a test pipe / straight pipe or high flow cat. it comes with a resonated cat i believe??? (not too sure) but yes look at their website and see what else they have to offer.

keep in mind if you bought the VQ exhaust to keep the car "quiet", adding headers and other sorts of test / straight pipes etc. is going to make it louder

Hi Mark

I have a 4dr the shockwave wouldnt fit without mods just wanted bolt on. I understand that I can run a single HFC after the xyz pipe and do away with the two stock cats. But can I just move the two sensors that are behind the stock cats to behind the new single HFC without having a CEL pop up?

I have a 1/2" plenum spacer, z tube and popchager along with the exhaust and on the highway a 2300ish in 6th gear bout 120 odd it not loud at all only gets notey when your under it and it sound great. Iam just looking for a bit more go by adding headers and I have been looking at the tomei v2

Thanks

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
