Hi all,

I'm needing to replace the catback exhaust on my R33GTSt with a full turboback setup and am unsure of whether to go for a Jap bolt on setup or get an exhaust shop to make one up for me.

Has anyone else done this recently? Recommendations of exhaust shops around Canberra? Any thoughts on the Jap vs custom exhaust issue?

At the moment I'm leaning towards a Trust Power Extreme II (80mm) fron Nengun, and getting a 3" front/dump pipe and highflow CAT from BATMBL on this site.

(Maybe someone recommends another Jap exhaust over the Trust?)

$570 + $320 shipping for the exhaust = $890

$190 CAT + $250 front/dump = $440

Total = $1330

My car is fairly low too (current thing seems to be custom made and hangs down and scrapes a lot) and I'm thinking that I'm guarenteed to get a nice tight neat fit with a Jap prefab thing.

Cheers,

John

my jap 3.5 inch was too low - wasn't fitted up all that well - I changed it to a 3 inch with a magna flow 3 inch cat (worth $450), along with 2 x 3 inch straight through mufflers. Phillip Exhaust did the work. email me at [email protected] and I will discuss further with you inc price / pros&cons.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
