thankyou.

Akeenan, i know this is kinda off the subject, but have a R33 GTS-T and just ordered a Trust Power Extreme II turbo back with a 3.7" pipe... it comes with a baffle that sits in the back box, but now i'm worried that it will be EXTREMELY loud... i live in a high residential area with lots of old folk who may become scared... is that what you had? Any baffle? :eek:

Oh dear. The EPA and the elderly are certainly going to be unhappy. Is it unbearably loud? why did you take it off your car? You had a cat back didn't you?

I've ordered a turbo back, with cat replacement pipe (yeah yeah i know i shouldn't :uh-huh: ).... this will surely only be louder?

my car got complianced with that left on it...i wanted it left on so the place i got it done at just said ok....they knew it was illegal, but they didnt seem to care....

anyhow i got busted with it about 1 month later so we took it back to the joint and they replaced it for free with something legal....ive got no idea what it is all i know is that it is only 81db now and its got a 3 inch from the cat and a 3 inch tip...its all stainless steel. They said that my current exhaust is 100 times better than the other one but I would trade anyday!! however I would only get busted again...:mad:

and the dudes kept it and that was the last i saw of it

  • 3 weeks later...

So i've just got my exhaust... only the cat back section at the moment; the front pipe is on its way.

It is a 4" TRUST Power Evolution, basically straight through all the way (there is a pic on the last page i think). It is loud. Witout the baffle i couldn't drive around; it was so bloody noisy. Has an awesome note though; without the baffle sounded like a racer.

With the baffle in (after 1 day) it is not too bad, but will still be a fair bit above the legal limit i'd guess... Akeenan, must be the same one you had. Posted some pics too

I received an EPA notice in the mail back in October for excessive noise.

Someone else was driving my car when they passed a copy car who had pulled someone else over. My car pulled into a driveway a couple houses down as this was his destination.

2 weeks later, I received the notice and had 30 days to have the car tested for sound. Somehow, my car had to come in at less than 90db at 4200rpm.....

How did a car like mine pass I hear you ask??? It's a long story but let me tell you that a dead stock R33 GTR including exhaust reads at 89.2 db and not all Midnight purple R33 GTRs are the same as mine :P

Oh and BTW, they don't give you certificates with smiley faces and passes to stick to your boot anymore. I don't even know where I put my copy of the statement which I sent to the EPA.

Turtle, it is a bit low, but i have no problems on speed bumps so far coz my car is stock ride / stock wheels.

Leewah, hopefully i won't have to visit the EPA with the baffle in, but if i do i'd better find a friend with a silver series 1 GTS-t :P

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
