Do you actually need a cannon? i'm not that well educated on the subject, but i thought cannons were for turbo cars, NA versions needed something more substantial to create sufficient backpressure to run well (or something like that). Anyone feel free to tell me otherwise, i'm in the market for a new exhaust system and don't want a loud, droning note.

if your exhaust is 2.5" factory its probly crush bent.

somthing that could make your guys lifes easyer with r33s you could buy the turbo guys factory exhuast as they are 2.5" mandrel bent from the factory. i have one on my car even tho its rb20e.. but that will be gone for a rb30de soon. lol.

yeah N/As need some back pressure as it helps the scavanging effect. a muffler like a flowmaster one would probly sound good. i will replace my stock rear muffler when i get the new motor put in as this one is a little rattly and doesn't make much sound. plus i don't get the typical skyline backfire :huh:

correct - stock exhaust was/is crush bent. will be interested to hear about your experience building the RB30DE

well so far i have most of everything that i will need to get it up and running. you can see the difference in rod lengths of rb30 and rb25. i just need to get the bottom end rebuilt and the head put on then i can finish the rest. it has a braded hose running from the head to just next to the oil filter. i will post some pics up when i have the basic block assembled.

i am only missing 3 major components, gearbox, clutch and computer plus ill need custom extractors.

it should be good when its all up and running. ill use a plug in GTS link once it is run in. hopfully completed and in car by end of january to mid febuary :D

Are you sure stock piping is 2.25"? I measured mine this morning for the new muffler and it came out to be a fraction less than 2" - the guy who imported it told me it was "dead stock". Why would anyone put on an exhaust which was smaller than stock (and mild steel to boot)?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
