Alright, I've currently got the stock exhaust with 3" cat back (gay as)...

I'm pretty retarded with cars, but slowly learning. Any advice would be fantastic.

Looking at going 3" turbo back.. Best to buy separately and fitted at an exhaust shop? Or buy through them?

Wanting something high flow, dont care about noise (quiet is fine) and will help power/overall sexiness

Also, should I aim to spend about $1k fitted??

Just Jap is a forum sponsor they can supply both a dump/front pipe and a cat but I would go for a larger bodied cat if you want the least restriction.

Venom exhaust works and email George direct.

3" all the way through and you can't go too far wrong.

So google both of those, buy them and then take it to an exhaust shop asking them to fit 3" all the way through??

you've already got a 3in catback? So you just need the front pipe and 5in cat fitted.

Ok great, that would make sense haha..

See i've learnt something today and it's only 7:40am!

www.justjap.com

if your car is auto try and get the jjr front and dump and the bend in it..

i got one for a 33/stagea but its was dead straight and had to be cut and welded to go around the gear box..

it says the 500 is recommended for +350rwkw etc... is it still applicable for cars with less than those figures?

Dont worry about taking it to an exhaust shop. U wont learn anything that way. Buy urself a set of spanners, a pair of stands, a jack and change the front pipe and cat yourself. Its literally a dozen bolts. Even a total novice could knock it out in 1 day and it will save on the reaming u'll get from the exhaust shop.

My mate reckons it'd be a nightmare job for a rookie like myself??

Also he reckons given the heat of the turbo, the bolts would be hard to get off??

Before ya start ripping into it get yourself some "Penetrene" or similar quality penetrant in a squirty bottle & some safety goggles. :yes:

Cheers GW

I gotta agree with that. A good penetrant will help. Mine came loose without it, but every car is different. Just allow yourself the whole weekend and u'll definately get it done. Just take the cat off 1st. Then work your way forward. Its alot easier from under the car so ull want to get it up on stands with enough room to move round. Take ur time and remember if u get frustrated u'll break stuff. So walk away, clear ur head and give it another go.

All of the above. It's good to have them on hand too for future DIY'S.

Also wondering if u got a hold of George? I've yet to get a reply from him..and it's been 2 days. I'll give him another day...I don't want to seem too keen.

Perhaps think about replacement nuts and bolts, gaskets, gasket goo etc before you tackle it....or at least make sure the nearest auto shop has things you might need in stock.

Thats a reminder! I usually change to stainless bolts on exhausts cos if u ever need to pull the exhaust off (which u will if ur on a hunt for power. Changing gearboxes and diffs etc.) they wont be rusted up. :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
