Hey guys, I purchased my N/A R33gts25 over the weekend and i'm firstly looking to change the stock exhaust/muffler... I've done a bit of searching around the forums and reading... But still a little unclear on some things...

I'm not interested in power modifications ( but don't want to lose power ) as I'm on my P's and it isn't worth the hassle with the new restrictions... i'm just after a nice drive with a nice sound output. That being, nothing too loud that gives you a head ache... just something quiet that kicks in a bit when you give it a nudge...

Specifically on sound, something that has the stock sound of the twins im using at the moment ( that ferrari'ish sound lol ) with a little bit more depth would be awesome... Pretty sure most of you know the sound i'm talking about.. i'll try get a sound file of my current exhaust..

So, should i be searching around for something like this http://www.autobarn.com.au/default.asp ( a complete system )

Or should i just look around for mufflers?

Any help is greatly appreciated :P

if you want a really nice sounding exhaust that is not loud, get a "remus" or a "hi-tech" system. be prepared to pay for it though

They probably wont fit a skyline mate, unless they are specifically for your model dont bother. go order some king springs, or k macs like i did, and then i got pedders shocks to go with it. Do it right, do it once.

just took a pic anyway ( what size are your springs? )

Bit hard to tell if they would fit by pictures, you actually need the code number and ring up king springs and ask what car theyre designed to fit... most likly if they arn't skyline they wont fit as they wont sit in the bottom and top of the strut properly.

Mine are 3.75" lowered kmac's.... they are a much wire and thicker spring by the looks of it. Though bit hard to tell by the picture

not that I know of. cheapest way to get one is to convince someone who has an N/A who's turboing their car and has aftermarket extractors to sell em to you :)

(and no, I'm not turboing my car)

here's the webpage for it:

http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/psrs-v.php3?id=00000086

here's one at yahoo for an R33 GTS25

http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r19118868

only $1300 :D The reason they're exxy is because their custom made items, ie you place the order and they make one for you.

I've got some pics of it on my car, I'll see if I can dig em up.

If its too big, yes, you will lose power as you still need some decent backpressure on N/A's. However there's also no point fitting a high flow cat back exhaust when your extractors don't flow for shit. Your system's only as good as its smallest bottleneck.

extractors are worth doing. if you do them with a cat back exhuast then you get the best gains. pipe sizing for N/As are pretty much rb20e/de 2.25" and rb25de is 2.5" that is mandrel bent.

when i put my rb30de in i will keep my current 2.5" mandrel bent exhuast that i currently have on my rb20e. its far to big to be good for any low down power

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
