Hi all,

Some fool crawled under my r33 gts-r (na), unbolted and took off with my muffler; I was parked at Doolandella on friday night for a few hours. The guy prolly lives near there since I go there a fair bit on the weekends. It a pretty rare muffler so I’d like to locate it if possible, it’s a Trust, mild steel (not stainless steel) with a 4inch outlet (not sure), sorry no pics of it. You might have seen me driving along the Centenary HWY to and from UQ St Lucia on the weekdays. I’m a poor ass science student doing my pHD and I really loved that muffler. I’m currently not driving my skyline since I can’t afford to get a new muffler; does anyone have a stock muffler that they would like sell/give away? Anyway if anyone notices my old muffler, can you post up where you saw it?

Thank you

I bought a Trust muffler from a guy (on these forums) in South Brisbane but that was a few weeks ago and mine is stainless steel.

BTW, what's an R33 GTS-R?

Make a wanted to buy thread if you havent already. I'm sure someone will be willing to give/sell you theirs. I've got my stock muffler sitting in the garage but was hoping to hang onto it. If you can't find anyone willing to sell theirs let me know and I'll consider letting go of mine because I know I'd hate to have my muffler stolen, thats f**ked!

Try and find a pic of your stolen muffler so people know what to look out for. Hope you get it back buddy!

naturaly aspirated.. non-turbo.. didn't have the extra dosh to bring a proper one in

If its got a 4inch outlet or bigger and it ain't stainless steel chances are it might be mine.. its not a perfectly circular one either, it was flat along the top i think

Thanks

huhuhu...

holy crap I hope my one didn't cost as much as this one... mild steel is definately cheaper right? any way this is the closest one that i could find which looks like mine, it got trust in big words on the under belly too. The outlet is exactly like mine but I'm not sure if it was that big... maybe... it wasn't a cannon either.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
