Hey all, with the extractors that you place on your car what do they actually do like in performance wise because i have been told many stories about that they dont do much or they dont do anything and like they give you heaps of power and stuff like that but i am unsure of what it actually does.? thanx

I have yet to fit mine as im still saving up a bit of $$ to get them ceramic coated (not to mention find someone who does ceramic coating) But once fitting extractors, your power figure may not jump up, but a lot meatier, more useable band of torque through the lower-midrange of the power delivery should be expected.

i didnt find a huge increase in power uptop when i got my extractors fitted, but the power in mid range was increased 10 fold. It makes the car so much more fun to drive and gives it alot nicer crispier exhaust not, u wont be dissapointed. If i was ever to buy another NA car extractors would be the first mod i did to it.

i find my mandrel bent fujitsubo's to be a godsend...

a) the car revs a lot better, not as restricted as a standard manifold

B) makes the exhaust note really good (not so good when you don't have a resonator)

c) looks really nice under the bonnet when they're stainless steel :)

A guy I know got a 13 rwkw gain when he got extractors and a 2 1/2" exhaust system on his R34 .

I have extracors and 2 1/2" exhaust system, on my R33 GTS25. I would totally recommend them, the car pulls very well through mid range and keeps pulling till red line.

Hey guys looking at getting a set of hurricane extractors, just wondering if anyone on here has them? And if so what are they like?

RB25DE EXTRACTORS NEEDED .

Hurricane extractors , hmm , haven,t heard of them . do you have pics or where you can get them .

Also the fujitsubo extractors anybody know where you can get them or at least a pic of them

I modified a set of rb30e extractors to fit , but would prefer bigger primaries .

Yeah when i was fixing my exhaust i got them to check one last time for any extractors other than Coby and they found a place in Sydney that does RB25DE extractors by Hurricane. I've heard of the brand just havn't seen a pic and don't knwo anythign about them. I wasn't expecting anyone else to do extractors for non-turbo's. Obvioulsy they're mild steel but i'll find out a little more about them.

i ddint realise the rb30 extractors could be modified to fit the rb25de. Any pics? How easy was it to do dondesoto??

Cheers

Paul

not a real simple fix

went to an exhaust shop and they profile cut some new flanges useing the cast iron rb25de manifold as a template

then i fitted the flanges to the head to align to ports

put flat washers on the manifold studs then tack welded the flat washers to the flanges . that way your flanges are aligned as best as possible . at this stage i ported the flanges to match perfectly to the heads ports .

i then cut the flanges off the rb30e extractors .

to get the pipes to line up with the flanges , i had to cut the secondary pipe that is fed by the 3 front cyls then rejoin .

tack welded the pipes to the flanges

removed extractors from engine and welded it all back together .

now if i had my camera i would do some pics , but its not here so if you are still interested i,ll post some later ( there are 2 pics of my engines in my profile but dont show exhaust very clearly )

much easier to buy a manufactured set , but i allready had the rb30e extractors from the previous engine

the local exhaust shop was willing to make me a set for $650 , another place called Gonzo pipes said $ 900 but people tell me he is the best

the snakes help heaps ! trust me ! my old rb25de had a set of killer genie snakes on her, a quality simota air filter on it & a turbo muffler and the turbo boys used to have no chance !

my mates dad had a r33gtst that was boosted to 2 bar and over the first like 300 metres i had him cold !

for the measy outlay of $739 fitted, it really gives you a kick in the pants as opposed to one with standard exhaust.

Gotta fly guys, got turbo butts to kick !

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
