new week, new dickhead asking the same questions :blush:

well not really, cause ive just spent an hour doing a search and had a lot of questions answered...

i know i want a full turbo back system, i have also been told to get a split dump pipe as it does make a difference (which i wasn't going to do at first)

everyone on here seems to sway to 3.5' rather then any other size... so i'll probably go that...

I know i want a cannon, thats just personal preference...

now, what i am unsure of is:

what to get it made out of: im thinking stainless steel cause it looks better, and i dont think it will get too hot the way i drive... has anyone actually cracked a stainless steel exhaust?

the cat: hi flow i assume, someone mentioned metal hi flow is better, but i think i was drunk at the time so i dont remember...

custom or store bought: i know some guys that do WONDERFUL custom exhaust jobs... they quoted me $950 for full turbo back which i was going to take, but i dont think that included a split dump pipe... but with all these store bought, simple bolt on exhausts, is there any point in having anything done custom? as im sure a lot of thought went into these exhaust systems...

If i have missed anything, please lemme know :)

all sounds good.

definately get a highfolw metal cat.

i would take the custom made job over the bolt in one, espescially if you say they are "wonderful"ly made.

$950 for a custom made stainless exhaust with all you need from the turbo back sounds pretty good to me. the only way to get a cheaper one would be to make it yourself (if your a welder).

And ive never had any trouble with stainless steel, aslong as the TIG is cranked up enough.

yeah, they had a customer at their workshop, he had a V8, paid them $1250 for all the way back from the exhaust headers...

originally the car had a $2500 job from somewhere i wont mention and he was SHOCKED at the shit work, and amazed at what these guys had done... i havn't welded since year 9, but i could do better...

my mate is a welder and he says this guys are pretty much as good as it gets...

ill see what others have to say, simply cause someone might say something i havn't heard yet... but thank you for the input :blush:

and i meant cracked after it was put on, from differentiating heat temperatures... people say it cracks, but my car isnt exactly running 3bar of boost, doing laps of wakefield, so im not too worried about it... just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with breaking a stainless steel exhaust...

i went for the full custom exhaust and paid around the 1k mark. if i could've chosen to do it again i would've gotten the dump and front pipes (split style - from one of the traders) and cat separate (metalcat), then any cat back exhaust out there.

i would've gotten them all to fit into the stock location so if i ever got defected i could stick on the standard exhaust with no dramas. i had to get my standard exhaust cut and welded to fit which cost me a bit extra.

you might find some custom exhausts sound sh#t compared to a Jap item like a Kakimoto exhaust. (best sounding exhaust for an rb)

i beleive the best sounding exhaust for an rb is straight off the dumps (providing you have rather large dumps i.e. trust) or off the front pipe.

that is pretty much EXACTLY what i plan on doing :D its great to know that im on track with this, as i dont really want to change much of it... the canon on the back ill probably have to change til i find one i like...

      I have replaced the larger coolant temp sensor, i do see a smaller one next to it (looks to be just 1 pin) but i assume that is just for the dash? or should i replace that aswell?

      Check coolant temp sensor ~ symptoms fit the hard hot start/cold start OK scenario --- if sensor goes open circuit, ECU thinks engine is cold and enriches mixture ....works when engine cold, but floods them with rich mixture when hot (Hyundi MAP engines are a bit infamous for this)...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, starter changed for a spare without much trouble. Neil had kindly left space to get to the top starter motor bolt from above with a long spanner which makes the whole deal much easier, and everything else was neat and easy to get at from underneath. Once the starter was changed everything was good, unplugged the CAS and turned the motor on the starter to make sure everything was free and happy. Onto properly priming the oil and first start. I'd picked up one of these oil prime kit from Boost doc a while back and this was my first time using it.  https://boostdoc.com.au/products/engine-oil-prime-kit?_pos=1&_sid=28c628a65&_ss=r While I'd organised all the fittings to hook it up to my GTR (sump plug to -6 feed and -4 T to tap it in and retain the oil pressure gauge, neither suited on this car as the oil pressure needs to T into 1/8 NPT not -4 and the Aeropro sump has some massive drainplug not that factory whatever it is. So, waiting for a couple of fittings, then I'll prime it and do first start, hopefully next weekend. Other than that going well, there is very little stopping a final alignment, tune then shakedown day

      Also to mention, i just tested the CAS, seems to be working fine, can hear the pulses inbetween 0 and 180 degrees, another mention aswell, when i let the car sit for about a hour today, i went to start it and it almost fired on first crank, then just completely struggled. Could it possibly be blocked injectors?, maybe allowing a little bit of fuel to seep past allowing it it almost start first crank?
