  1. Calling a friend now to see if i can take it
  2. there is no difference between a combined dump/front and 2 separate pieces except the separated pieces are... separated. a split dump/front looks like this http://bosimporting.com.au/index.php?page=...t&Itemid=27 Things look fine, I'd suggest finding a friend who is mechanically minded and getting him to help you if possible. Will save money and you get to learn a few things.
  3. have a search for BATMBL on these forums, he sells split dumps and cats for good prices and are highly recommended on this forum (i got mine there aswell, no problems at all). Get a highflow cat but do not gut it, even though you probably won't ever get caught, if you do its a nice fine and defect so not worth it. A lot of people go on about the pros and cons of a split dump and a regular combo but its pretty minor unless you have large amounts of power or plan on going for large amounts in the future. Have a search on the forums if you want to read about 20 pages of back and forth . Turbo back exhaust system starts at turbo -> dump pipe -> front pipe -> catalytic converter -> catback, the split front/dump is both pieces in one rather then that dual front which will need a larger dump pipe aswell. Theres a youtube video of someone with the HKS silent on an R34 GTT to give you a good idea.
  4. droning is a sound pretty much all larger exhaust will make, its when you are cruising on the highway at the same speed so the exhaust is making the same sound. Not that bad, just turn your music up Easy to install, main difficulty is undoing 10 year old bolts and removing sensors, everything else is easy as these HKS exhaust systems are made specifically for each model skyline so no modifying necessary. I'd say a work shop would charge about $3-500 in labour alone. The stock dump pipe, and really the entire stock exhaust, is very small and restrictive which means less air is traveling through. As for turbo lag, i dont think it would affect the stock turbo at all (atleast not noticeably) If you are just after the sound/wank-factor, go to autobarn and pick up a canon for $50, if you want a better flowing exhaust and a bit more power, spend the $1500-$2000 and get a turbo back exhaust
  5. I have that exhaust on my 33 and its perfect for what you're after. Sounds good on the inside (a bit droney on the highways), fairly quiet in city driving (p-plater in skyline and i've never been pulled over since the exhaust was on) and has a good note when you give it a bit. I had mine imported from a private importer ($899 inc. postage) then installed it myself (as well as split dump and larger cat (another $400 or so) which i would also recommend having done at the same time, rather then just the cat back. Most places will charge around $100 p/h so in total you will be up for about $1500 at the absolute lowest, budget atleast $2000
  6. Mario theme with RC cars and bottles http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/102396/detail/

  13. no fluffy dice! Is it a coincidence the first letters of No fluffy dice (NFD) can be rearranged as DNF or did not finish... The answer is no. Im voting DNF due to lack of dice
  14. awesome to hear as i prepare to sell my car haha I think the guy you sold the car to is on these forums, Theo. He just bought a red 33 and said he found oil in the coolant. +1 on the grumpy old man comment, these things obviously didnt happen back in his generation when a nickel could buy you a case of beer and a handy from the local tramp
  15. this car was owned by someone on SAU wasnt it, remember seeing pics of it before. Nice buy You had the right idea taking a passenger, i bought my skyline from Melbourne and did the same thing, flew down drove back and was bored shitless
