Hey all,

So I've got the option to upgrade my exhaust to something a little more 'special' at what I consider a fairly good price. My car is a 1996 S2 M-Spec R33 GTS-T. I have access to a HKS Hi-Power exhaust however, it's only listed for the BCNR33 RB26DETT. As far as I'm aware the system is only cat back. I've tried searching and I can't find a definitive answer so...

The question is - Will a HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust listed for a BCNR33 RB26DETT fit my ECR33 RB25DET with no hassle ie - mounting points are the same etc..

I've read that the R32 GTS-T and R32GT-R's are interchangeable, is this this same with R33's?

Thanks for that, a little reassurance is good to hear :D. Just didn't want to go and spend the money then realize I'd have to find a GT-R owner willing to buy it :rolleyes:.

How was the ground clearance on both exhausts and what brand? (just out of curiosity)

Ah thanks man. I was really looking forward to getting this new exhaust but when I spoke to the guy he said it's not going to fit because it's designed for the RB26DETT - even though it's just a cat back. I'm usually an impulse buyer however, this is a little much to take the gamble on unfortunately. I'm guessing each exhaust bends/welds look different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I tried comparing my existing exhaust to one the same as I was going to get. The mount brackets look slightly different on the cannon tip (ones really short ones really long).

Has anyone successfully fitted a HKS hi-power GTR exhaust to their GTS-T?

Catback wise GTR or GTST will be exactly the same. Mounting points are the same, Reason they're located differently is probably because one cannon is designed to mount at a different angle to the other.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
