Is This The Wrong Exhaust?

The other day I picked up a few people and actually had people in the back of my skyline! lol, Usually I never have anyone in the back. I started to take off and then heard a loud banging sound coming from under the car. The sound was really loud and made the whole car shake! I had a look under my car on the weekend and it looks like the exhaust is against a bar under the car. Looks like the owner before me has put some rubber between the bars to stop them from banging. I was just wondering if the exhaust should be against this bar? It doesn’t look right to me? Is this the wrong exhaust for the R33?

Thanks :)

Oh ok, so you think the exhaust is hitting the ground and its not the other bar? That could be it.. but my car is standard height..hmm,

Its HKS Super Dragger exhaust, i would of thought no modification would be needed. To me it looks like the exhaust should be going around that bar, rather than been right up against it. Is it possible this is for a R32 or R34, or does everyone have there exhaust up against that bar?

I had a similar probelm with my car. All you need to do is go to an exhaust shop and they will weld a bracket to the exhaust and then bolt it to the chassis some where.

This will hold the exhaust in place (away from the bar) and stop the vibration

Thanks for that :) , seems like to fix this i will need to get an exhaust place to bend it or make up that bracket. But does anyone know why this has happened? Did the guy before me order the wrong exhaust, like for the wrong model skyline? Surely they all dont do this... My mate has an exhaust on his skyline and it doesnt even go near that bar, goes around it nicely...

Just was looking at the type of exhausts you can get, and for HKS you can get it for the R33 GTR or R33 Gts-t, so is it possible the guy before me got the GTR type? and thats why its not fitting 100%?

Not too sure there, I ordered a specific model exhaust to fit my car and i still had the same problem.

Remember not all cars are going to be exactly the same and the manufacture of the exhaust could be out by 1degree at the dump pipe which then magnifies towards the back of the vehicle.

Just my 2cents

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
