Thanks Eugene, 'Eug' for going to the trouble of organising the group buy and getting a great deal for the rest of us N/A'ers. Everyone came together really quickly and there seemed to be no major hassles! Well done to everyone else who took part too. So.. In time let's see some pics, videos etc of your install's guys! :happy:

The rest of my exhaust is 2.25 (made by hi-tech) I might look into a new cat I suppose :)

Looking forward to the change in song from the extractors.. I was running a torch along that part where the extractors will replace and the seal is broken etc.. so yea.. should sound tough =D

What was Hi-Tech's service like? Is there one in the Melbourne Area?

Cheers

They were great, at the time I was pretty clueless about the whole exhaust situation, but they explained it pretty clearly. And they knew their stuff too looking back on it now. Unfortunately I don't think they have a melbourne location too (from looking at their contact info) http://www.hitechmufflers.com.au/contact.html

I have 4 inch tip.. oval shapeish muffler that leads onto the 2.25 piping.. then a resonator.. then the cat.. That's the best I can explain it?

All the components up to the cat were created by hi-tech..

Yep,

Thats exactly what i wanted to know, i didn't really want to get a cannon, i was thinking one of those "oval" mufflers like you descibe. I was also looking into someithing with twin tip, hmmm so many decisions...

Cheers :P

no worries jeremy...

since most of us are dealing with a similiar situation, i'll put in my 2 cents. choose your exhaust system carefully, especially on NA cars they will tend to be very very drony. NA_R33 had a set of these extractors and a titanium 2.5" system with a cannon - the headaches you used to get sitting near, around, in the thing was enough to drive you nuts!

stick with something simple and pay attention to resonators.

let us all know how you go with your new systems

Just on what Eug said, resonators are pivotal, u have to go to an exhaust shop with alot of experience with twin cam engines otherwise ur car is going to be the worst sounding thing ever. Twin Cams are renouned for giving a metallic reverberance sounds that is considerably hard to combat for and old bloke at an exhaust who only does systems for old clunker V8's and or a young 17 yo at the time who decided the best way to fix was to make it so loud you couldnt hear it :ninja:

no worries Sean, keep us updated... glad i could help

Nick, what catback do you have? that actually sounds pretty good (pre-extractors), how does it sound higher in the rev range?

i might have to get some audio files of mine... i'm not quite happy with the catback (stock 33GTR for the moment) it's a cheaper temporary alternative.

below 4K mine is pretty sweet, when i get up it and want to hit the tracks or a skidpan it just has a loud metallic scream which isnt quite what i'm after.

Got a hi-tech 2.25 catback. Sounds pretty nice at high revs, I'll go warm it up tonight and take another vid of it with extractors revving to 6-7k or what ever :)

what headers did you get from just jap? i asked them ages ago and they had nothing...

i agree with the hideous, it's got a very umm... "raspy" note to it...

would be keen to hear the hi-tech nick... i've been speaking to someone else, who has a trust catback... would like to hear that too...

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
