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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
