Hi guys, I'm building my r33 gtr and going single turbo. The 3 inch rsr exhuast I have will be removed to make way for a 3.5 inch system from the 4 inch dump. I am planning to order flanges, pipe, mandrel bends ect and tackle it myself. I have a 130amp mig and a metal cut of saw which will more than be up for the job. And I of course will be doing this in my garage on jack stands so its going to be a tight fit ;)

Out of curiosity how many of you have tackeled this before on their own, and could you guys give any useful advice. One thing I am uncertain of is if I should start from the back and work my way to the front?

I will update this thread with more pics once I start dummy fitting the manifold and dump and starting on the thing.

I haven't done it but I have spent a fair bit of time under cars and I really recommend you get some ramps, it will be so much more stable and reliable than stands. It scares me to think of what can happen - bumped car, freak earthquake and it's all over. Ramps are really handy too, even doing oil changes is so much easier with ramps. I bought a pair off ebay for $30.

Yea, defiantly. I actually use truck stands which can lift just that little bit higher and a lot more stable along with a few cinder blocks under the wheels for some added security. I was actually looking for some car dealer ramps for sometime as well without any luck. Conventional ramps won't give me the height that I need unfortunately.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
