Hey guys,

Due to stupid police, I'm swapping my cat-back for the original OEM GTR cat-back. I know I will be loosing some power and agressive sound with the OEM cat-back.

What can I swap/upgrade to my setup to get back my lost power and sound? I'm thinking about getting a GLUTTED cat.

Anything else?

Thanks!

My mechanician told me about an electric valve with a Y piping, when on the track could help my performance. what do you think? is it worth 300$ ?

Nothing will give you performance back with a factory exhaust. Simple as that.

What you need to do is have a decent exhaust made/built. You can have a 3" exhaust that is legal without a drama.

Electronic valves are still illegal. So totally pointless.

What R31Nismoid said, or try and find a 3" cat back exhaust with an oval shape muffler.

That should keep the dB levels down at the same time have a better flow then stock.

Fujitsubo make decent exhaust that are quiet and still keep a very good flow.

What state are you in?

Just put the stock catback on, pass EPA/clear defect then put your aftermarket one back on

Exhausts with electronic valve control are awesome for being quiet on the street, at the end of the day they are probably illegal but if your exhaust isn’t making a loud noise then no-one is going to look at it are they?

Stock Cat is restrictive but your better off getting a highflow one

I'm in canada, we don't have the same rules. DB levels isn't a problem here in Canada!

You probably gonna have to tell us the whole story before we can try and help you... :ermm:

So why are you posting up about noise issues - if noise is not an issue?

I don't think he mentioned a noise issue other than losing the aggressive noise by changing.

Maybe a mounty pulled him up for too shiny?

Okay the problem in canada is that we can't swap an exhaust component that don't respect the OEM spec. 95% of the cars made are not STRAIGHT-PIPE ( or free-flow). There's so many sh*tvic out there with aftermarket racing exhaust that any police officer use a tape to measure how long his tape goes into the exhaust before hitting something. So, if his tape goes throught the whole cat-back, he will think i'm not legal because it's not normal to be straight-pipe.

I KNOW the OEM BNR cat-back is straight-pipe but these morons can't understand this fact. this is why I want to swap it for a OEM.

Sound/DB is also an issue but police officer don't have dm meter in their car to measure how loud is my GTR, so I don't care about sound because I know it's impossible to get a ticket for DB because they can't prove it.

Make sure you have good aftermarket dump pipes and good aftermarket front pipe (or sometimes called "y-pipe"), a metal type very high flow cat, then get a custom 2.75" cat-back with 2 or 3 straight-through oval mufflers. Will be quiet and will produce plenty of power over stock.

I have a glutted OEM cat. The OEM cat-back is 3 inch and straight-through design. What kind of downpipe should I look for? any good aftermarket japanese brand?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
