Can anyone recommend some front pipes for a R33 GTR that sit close to the chassis for ground clearance. I have a Nismo one on at the moment that sits aprox 20-30 m/m lower than my gear box, about 70 m/m off the ground when the rest of the car is roughly 130-140 m/m. I want to go 3.5 outlet so i was looking a the Midori stainless system, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MIDORI-SEIBI-SUS-FRONT-PIPE-NISSAN-SKYLINE-BNCR-R33-GTR-RB26-DETT-90MM-/140897957238?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&fits=Plat_Gen%3AR33&hash=item20ce2c3576, sorry about the long link. Does anyone run this system or can recommend something that fits my description? I would like to go stainless or maybe titanium if I decide to spend too much...

Your nismo front pipe sits 20-30mm lower than the gearbox or the gearbox cross member?

20ish mm below the gearbox should give you heaps of clearance, i got a pentroof one which has the 3 1/2 inch outlet but its about 65mm below the gearbox so dont get one of them if your after more ground clearance.

im in the middle of making my own at the moment to get a bit more clearance and go to a 4 inch outlet.

    • 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
