  1. Hi all. I finally picked up my R33 S2 recently. Following that I had an e-manage, fmi and pod filter fitted. Ran it on the dyno at 14psi max 205kw @ the wheels. The car has a standard exhaust so I was looking into getting that modified. The x-force s/s exhaust seems to be pretty good going from the forums. Just wanted to know how loud it gets? Does it have a really noticable drone inside the cabin? Liverpool exhaust reckons it makes a loud drone inside the cabin. They recommended a Hurricane exhaust (mild steel) but i haven't been able to find any info on that brand. Are they any good? Anyone used the hurricane brand for their skylines? Any info would be appreciated. Will post some pics once I get some
  2. Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated
  3. Howdy all. First of all, I know this topic has been posted before so I apologize for bringing it up again. I am in the process of buying a 96-97 r33 skyline. I live in Sydney. My previous car was an Charade. Great car, handled well, sad to see it go. Now I've searched the forums. I've had a look at the "What to look for" list and a few topics on buying skylines which I must say helped me out a lot (especially other topics in the forums). However, I would like to know a few things on top of the ones listed in the forums: 1. After reading the "Post your engine failiure" topic, I take it those problems only happen when the car is under serious loads (ie racing/dragging) or heavy mods done to it. If the car is only going to be driven "normally" (with the ocasional outburst ), then there's nothing to worry? 2. I know skylines are reliable, but if looked after properly are there any serious problems that may arise from daily driving (eg engine failures listed in point 1), aside from replacing alternators, gearboxes, clutches? 3. Any recommendations on where to buy a skyline? I've had a look on the net. I've come up with a few places Just Jap, Northshore Priestige, Envy Imports. What about the dealers on Parramatta Rd? I'm not naming names but stories I've heard from those places haven't been promising. 4. Recommendations on places for modyfying skylines. I've been burnt a couple of times when I modded my Charade so I'm somewhere reliable please. Being my first turbo car, I would like to beable to take it somewhere, get the mods done properly by someone who knows what they are doing. I am a bit paranoid this being my dream car, so I'm not saying anything bad about any workshops. Just want peoples advice A few places I looked up were MRT Rally, Unique Autosports, Croydon Racing Developement. That's all for now guys. Would greatly appreciate any advice. And thanks again for reading the post.
