That's a very tidy exhaust job. 

I like it! 

Yeah, I know I won't weld that good if I attempt to do such work haha.

When I told people my people my best mate was building the exhaust, most of them rolled their eyes. After I showed them the progress photos ive had a few of those people ask me to get a quote to build their exhausts

Superbly neat welds! 

I only wish I could weld that neatly, though that's the benefit of TIG, wayyyyyyy more control. 

I'm a MIG boy, Ha ha, and my own is nastily setup as flux core which is worse! ?

Yeah I can only use mig, but haven’t had much of chance to play with a tig maybe after a bit of practice I could actually do alright

That looks like great work. A shame that most of it is hidden away. 4 inch or 3.5?

Yeah it is but the dump will be getting ceramic coated in clear so you will still be able to see it there. It’s a 4in

That's all it is mate, practice, practice, practice. I'm only as "good" as I am as I spent 40 hours a week on a MIG for 3 months straight. And by 40 hours, that's actual time on the MIG, not just at work. 

 

And I'm not a good welder, I'm okay, not great. I have some inconsistencies. :(

TIG, just lots of hours of practice and critique. 

I'd love to have a tig to actually do some alu work, but no money to buy a decent tig setup.

Fuuark, you're young inside. I've plumbed mine back lol.. but after the cat.

Should be good seeing your face once you open up your single #twinsaregay

Dumb q coming from me, how quiet is it compared to say HKS silent Hi-power?

It’s hard to say, it’s been a long time since I heard a hks exhaust. Its a lot quieter then my old 3.5in exhaust and easily quieter then most jasma exhausts

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
