hey people, cutting a long story short i bought my series1 r33 skyline a while ago and

it came with a very nice exhaust system,a bit too nice cause the epa defected it so i got a hell cheapo put

on and it sounds like a suzuki swift on its last legs, its a non turbo and i was just wondering is there just a standard performance exhaust wich works well sounds clean and relativly cheap..is there a common type of exhaust for skylines?

so when i take it to get done i can say 'hey id like the super exhaust 2000 please' hehe

so just any general info from anyone whos familiar with exhaust systems would b great!

thanks alot :)

Trust PE2 - quiet, still got a nice rumble to it and gets better throttle response imo

Yeah, just ask them for Trust Power Extreme 2

www.bt-revolution.com (i think thats the website address), they sell them, but you can have a look at what it looks like. Do a search under my user name for the thread titled "new exhaust" or something - i have put up pics of the system.

bear in mind, this is the exhaust that I like, and im not sure if its sound quality is what you are looking for. When I was looking for one I was looking at one thats legal (so it would have to be fairly quiet) - plus for around $800 for the Cat Back it was just perfect.....as the other ones that I was looking at like the apex-i bomber and fujitsubo legalis, I got quotes that were around the $1000 price range....

but good luck with the search. :)

Mmm I got a non-turbo too.. What ever you get, make sure your piping is no bigger than 2.5 and tip shouldn't be much bigger than 4 I'd say... Need a bit of back pressure there I've heard. BTW I got a custom made Hitech exhaust.. pretty good.. around $600

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
