No the exhaust is different I believe the dump pipe is the same so from turbo to cat will fit but the rest won't fit at all

how sure are you mate, as i am getting big numbers for both sides of the argument and dont know who to agree with dont want to buy something then its wrong.

This is really doing my head in now lol, i am new to skylines and tbh i am finding alot of people know alot about nothing, no disrespect to people who do, i have shops and companies telling me one thing about fitments etc etc then people with skylines another then mechanics saying different again, all i want is a bloody full exhaust sytem from front to back how bloody hard can that be lol......

I have the chance to buy 3 at the moment one is from a r33 but only cat back and doesnt include cat, other is a full system but came off an r32, the guy says i just need to change the hangers at the back, apart from that it will fit, and the other well i dont even know if he knows what it is lol......

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOME SHED SOME GOOD QUALITY LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT. i have been trying to find exhaust layouts from all the skylines and cannot seem to find anything...... sorry for the rant, but in need of one asap.

Thx

Karl

An exhaust is an exhaust.. Skyline exhausts aren't some magical system.. Simply go to a mechanic shop, discuss with them an exhaust that suits your needs.. get them to install it.. Done.. No piss farting around trying to get exhausts from another model to fit.. You either want it done correctly and not "be over it" or you can f**k around looking for a cheap system and have the headaches to go with it..

If the exhaust shop says they can't help with your skyline then they just dont know what they are doing/ don't want your work.. so just go to the next exhaust shop.. I see no reason why they wouldnt be able to do it..

I am 100% sure the cat back from an R32 will not fit a R33 without chopping and rewelding it at a few points

the r33 is longer and also the r32 has a rear mounted petrol tank where as the r33 is behind the back seat.

You could buy a ceap exhaust off eBay for like $300 which would fit and then the dump pipe would be about $170

your going to end up spending atleast $200 bucks to fit and weld the r32 exhaust with a mechanic. But jf you buy the one that fits the r33 you could install it yourself it's not that hard

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
