they reallly dont make that much of a difference.. you sacrifice a tad low end for a bit better pickup in top end revs ( so i've heard ) but nothing too crazy....

as for where to buy them.. cant beat DKNE in syd (they do delivery to)

but overall they are better to have on the car isnt it? thanks heaps

The thing with extractors is that they themselves may not make much of a noticeable difference, but then when you start doing other modifications you will notice the effect of those mods more. Extractors just help the engine breathe. The more it needs to breathe, the more of a difference extractors will make.

If you want to change to extractors its a good idea to change your exhaust system to a 2.5inch with a high flow cat and rear muffler (straight through). This way you will be doing it once and the right way ...... response in the engine changes but not a power difference. The car sounds better though :)

yeah i already have an exhaust system like that just got it done 2 weeks ago sounds loud and nice as now and runs heaps better

checkout hillside exhausts in furntree gully, talk to Jay and say Leigh sent you he custom made some stainless steel ones for me on my non turbo looked sweet as and sounded good.

alright thanks how much did it end up costing u

Extractors do make a little difference, they wont increase your max power, but they will give you more usable power in the lower end

I got my NA dynoed stock and then right after I got a set of DKNE extractors put on and you can see a little bit of a difference.

Plus they sound great.

oh ok cool thanks for that..and does it matter what type of extractors i get will they all do the same ? because not sure if i should get a pair of 2nd hand ones from the wreckers

Generlly speaking, there will be little difference between performance between the different brands or custom made,

DKNE extractors are designed around the R34 with the aircon pipes taken into consideration, but other than that they will all be suitable.

If you can find a pair of second hand ones at the wreckers or through sau/ebay and they are still in good condition, they arent bent out of shape and are not rusted. then go for it.

I think you might be hard pressed finding any at a wreckers though.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
