hey every1 just wondering if you guys could give me your opinion on a new exhaust, ive been reading up on how i should get a 3inch and whatnot,

what im wondering is do you guys think im better off picking up a exhaust locally and buy seperate peices (which probably wont fit...) or buying a known brand exhaust system off the net ?

these are some i have in mind....

HKS silent high power (no linky)

Blitz nur spec R

high-flow cat vs a normal cat? for a street car is a high flow needed? i've been looking at a 3" venom high flow cat would that be suitable?

how onto it are our cops regarding exhausts and defects?

ive seen a load of shitboxes that sound louder than some harleys so do we have a high decibel rating or do our cops just not give a shit? would rather find this info out now rather than later seeing as i dont want to have to replace a new zorst just because a bunch of nazi's think its too loud...(or stuff around replacing my stock exhaust just for a clearence..)

and also if i plan on uprading my turbo then i need to upgrade my dump pipe? (anything else exhaust wise?) would i be better off doing this now or do that when im replacing turbo (so i can get the right fitments??)

i cant answer everything you've asked, but my car came with an hks super dragger cat back 3 inch, which was really quiet, JASMA approved, i had to get the mid muffler removed cause it had a hole and was making car too low when i got it back here, was still quiet, i recently put a jjr front dump and 5inch high flow cat and still is fine sound wise. the only problem i had with the jjr is when i got it installed the eshaust guy said it didnt bolt straight up, it had to be heated and shifted a bit....

cops are generally laid back here, unless you are hammering it high in the rev range.

ummm when you say is a high flow needed i guess it depends on what your plans on your car are, also when i emailed george from venom, he recommended the 5 inch body,

Have heard the Blitz Nur system on a S14 and they sound really nice! Haven't looked into flow between different set ups though.

Cops don't appear to read decibels in tas but on rare occasion that they set up a inspection station they do get you to rev your car. But in saying that my mate had to rev his standard celica to 3k but my s13 at the time with rims, bodykit, and in undercoat was expected to be revved to 5k. Moral of the story, if your carlooks modified they will probably put more pressure on you but they don't really have a clue.

thanks guys im still looking at which exhaust sounds best out of them lot, im guessing a local option probably isnt too good ?

zoid your right but ive had a few policey driving alongside me and havent bothered me so far so i cant be too much of a asshole :P (uptights probably think otherwise)

autumn if i go that route should i do it all in one go or do it seperately? and if i do should i go a local or get a a pre-made system? if so can you recommend one? :)

If your considering local and your in hobart PROFAB on gepp parade in goodwood would have to be worth a look. with Chris tanner and Chris Mcgrath on the Tigs, some impressive work is coming out of that place.

thanks xrated ill give him a ring soon and see what he thinks, yeah will be getting a mild steel dump, most likely the one zoid linked me

will a local one still sound as good as these brand name ones or will they be more tinny? how much will a custom one set me back roughly?

Mild steel dumps went out with 202 reds and hotwires. What a crock of shit, had a just jap stainless dump on my car for 3 years and 55 thousand Kay's, 3 years of daily driving and about 8 track days. Now I have made my own, that's only done about 8 thousand Kay's and 2 or 3 track days. I had the just jap split dump, hardly top end product but did the job and sounded the part. Looked like brand new after 3 years, and 55k km's . If you want a half assed rusty piece of shit, go mild steel.

      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?

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
