Basically fited a 3.5inch exhuast to my 33 with 270rwkw and its got a valve inside the exhuast, its the dodgy version of the varex

the exhuast is only sort of quiet when the valve is fully closed, but the gases hav no where to go.

Is it ok to drive around like this to get less attention or is the pressure to high? ( il be driving under 3000rpm)

Its a knock off

its a butterfly valve in the exhuast and when its closed its like putting your hand lightly over the exhuastvpipe to slow flow

its still got lots of flow i imagine becuase its stillso damn loud but lags like all hell when closed

Car still starts up fine when valve is closed fully

( i imagine even when the valve is closed fully its not the same size as inside diameter of pipe i.e. Its a 3inch valve mabye, or it dosent close completly)

cheers

Yes I know what a Varex is I have one, I'm saying where in the exhaust is the valve? In the end muffler like a Varex or half way along the exhaust like the Apexi wunder valve? Varex use recirculation through a smaller hole that leads into another muffler...it's a much better/safer design when closed off than the Apexi valve. Either way it should be fine, just avoid boosting and high RPM.

    • 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.
