Recently got myself a first car, relax guys, I'm not going to thrash it on public roads. Soon enough I'll be attending a few track days with SAU :)

So first up,

I'd like to change the stock exhaust system (Apparently you MUST change all r33 systems? Not sure why :/ )

My friends uncle will do the entire system from headers to tip for a decent price, what's the best I can do still being legal? I'm under the understanding that 91 or 93dB max at 4.5kRPM.

What about performance wise? If the system is considered "Sports" would that put me at risk?

I'm looking currently to spend not a lot, but get as much gain as possible.

What's some small things I could buy that would get myself a step ahead?

I've been told apexi panel filter, and a few other bits.

Thanks guys ;)

Please have a search through here, there are 100 threads all about the same thing in this section.

Also - Friends Uncle?

Sounds a bit cheap and nasty to me.

Remember this saying

Speed costs money, How fast do you want to go?

or even this one

Cheap - Fast - Reliable, Pick two

Nothing cheap will get you any meaningful gains and will more than likely cost more in the long run, as you will have to pull off and replace cheap shit parts when they fail or don't do their job correctly.

Something to think about :)

Well, if it were me, I would just try to enjoy it, chuck a decent exhasut on.

Then spend coin on suspension and brakes.

Bugger all gains to be had from the NA RB, so make it steer and stop, because the GTS4 is a heavy bastard so will never be a weapon in a straight line, but has plenty of grip so take advantage of it :)

1400 for exhaust headers to tip bro. Not worth it.

If you want a good sound, avoid a cannon. Get a 2.5" cat back for like $350, it's a bit droney but it's sound. Can get very loud.

You're a sydney resident yeah? If I don't sell my car this weekend I'll take you for a drive soon so you can hear the 2.5" catback.

Trust me mate, enjoy having an awesome car on your Ps, sell it later, get a GTST, GTS4 with turbo or even better, GTR.

Good work on getting that car too. It's a step down from a GTR but I trust you'll enjoy it.

He has quoted me a lot cheaper, not sure I'll have to see what the go is before I step my self into anything.

Bro we used to do something together online, not sure but I've got you on MSN.

A drive? Sounds good :P

The ultimate plan is to do a few things to this car and later on when I'm nearing my fulls get a 32 GTR and go hard out.

Yeah we did :) I've been meaning to start a keyhunt v2 sort of thing but time, effort, money etc. etc. Forum software for that genre has gone down hill and it always did suck at generating content.

Yeah, it's a good plan. I might be selling my gts25 soon so I won't have a liner, but I'll rock my nugget Hyundai to some cruises hahaha xD

Got some friends with friends with friends, so sometimes things come together and events happen. I'll keep you posted :)

it's an exhaust. there is a limit to how much the cheap/fast/reliable theory applies to this. performance wise there will be minimal difference, but cosmetically there may be a bit (how neat the welds are, etc). however there will be a bit of a difference in noise attenuation in mufflers.

basically, just get a decent oval muffler and a centre muffler/resonator and you will still have good flow without the drone or attention from the boys in blue.

yeah but he said a mates uncle was going to do it, implying he has some sort of exhaust workshop, and generally exhaust places use better quality mufflers (note i said generally). in the same way that bike shops generally sell better quality bikes/parts than big w, etc.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

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

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
