Hey,

Im about to look into buying a dump and front pipe from my skyline (r33) along with a hiflow cat (or no cat :)). At the moment my exhuast is catback HKS Super Dragger and i was wondering if there is any different between me install brand names parts (HKS) or custum made parts.

I know brand name is alot pricer but is it worth it?

Also i was told that APexi N1 Exhuast is the best is it worth selling my HKS system and upgrade to a full turbo back N1 system

Thanks Mike

just get a custom single piece dump and front pipe, goto quickfit exhaust in morley, theyve done a lot of perth sau members cars and heard nothing but good feedback.

i can't see how the apexi n1 is better, it's different.. it is louder than your super drager would be. your super drager catback is 95mm (3.74in) and apexi n1 is only 80mm (3in), unless u want it louder then just leave the catback.

Hey mike,

I just got my R33 and I have ordered afull turbo back system in mild steel with a stainless dump pipe and high flow cat and a LP02 muffler from x-force and they shipped to my muffler guy for $1000.00 I have since been told that the X-force stuff is of high quality.

A staainless dump pipe alone can be $250 - $500.

I will get it on on wednesday (12/05/04) and I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers,

APC in Brisbane have an awesome dump/turbo pipe - I would nave installed this had I known about it. I got ripped by Subzero who put a ss dump pipe ($270) and once fitted said I needed a front pipe (they originally said I had a custom 3" front but when I measured it I found it was only 2"), quoted $170 and then hit me up for $310 (after it was fitted) because they miss quoted - bad business manners! Talk to Nick at APC he knows his stuff www.apc_racing.com.au

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
