I wouldn't bother mate. If you are dead serious about power, then get a different (3inch) muffler welded on the end and keep that Muffler. But I would suggest if you don't have a high flow turbo, piggyback, etc etc, I don't think the exhaust will be that big a deal. I'm only going by the Mods in your Sig. Do you really want it louder? Doesn't seem like it has any muffler to it anyway!

Fitted Tein S-Tech springs in my series 2 RS4S yesterday. Was hoping for the 1.5inch drop that they claim but it's only dropped about 10mm in the front and practically nothing in the rear. Just hoping it'll settle down a bit over the next couple of weeks with driving. It's definitely stiffer though.

Went to drive it for the first time in 2-3 weeks, found the battery was flat.

Put it on charge for about 6 hours, checked voltage, 1.5v. Pulling it out and putting it on a deep charge for a couple of days to see if it'll be ok, since it's only about 6-9 months old. :(

just fitted a new rack end on passenger side, bought a new pair from ebay (link from Dale)

after fitting it and drove the car, steering was very loose that when i came out to check the wheels. the left one (passenger side) had a toe in about 5-7 degrees :angry:

after a closer inspection, the new rack end is actually longer than stock one (refer pic) so had to cut off to roughly the same length, now just need to do wheel alignment

thought to share this so if anyone else needs to change the rack end to the same ones i bought, better measure and cut 1st

I had to remove those two black strips at the edges of the tailgate lid & the spolier screws into the metal beneath where they sat.

Then it just basically sits on top of the black plastic trim that the centre brake light is part of (with help from a bit of double sided tape)

I'll take some more pics when my wife gets back from the shops with it. :whistling:

Dyno'd the car last night. Car feels awesome to drive. Less boost made more power.....18.5psi ftw!

240killa wasps....car feels strong right through the range.

Jez the tune is awesome....and the f$@ker starts hot or cold for the first time in a long time.

Excellent buddy :) glad ur happy.

Sorry about the dyno sheet. Damn dyno restarting on me. Forgot to input ur details back in correctly.

Haha i underestimated ur car. Wheelspin on the 1st pull of the night. Was exciting. We need to find a way to lock it into gear though. Was hard to tune below 4000rpm. Will have a play on the road when u are ready

Limp mate, the kickdown is just to keep you on your toes. :P

The torque converter lockup solenoid needs a 12v voltage on it for a start...

I made up some speaker mounts for the M35 to fit some Alpine Type R 6.5" front splits and 6.5" rear 2 way coaxial speakers. Made them out of some structural ply I had laying around. These will finish up with the speaker sitting close up to the door trim as the factory speakers do. Will finish them up and install them over the next few days. Pretty happy with the result so far.

Haha sure did. Foot flat 100rpm too early and it

Jumps down a gear.

With the lock up how well does this work? It would be good to do this just whilst tuning then we can put back to standard

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
