Hey guys, well its been about a month now and i think im ready for the next level of modding my R33 GTST.. Well ive been researching on the fourms a for a while now and ive found that a few people have catback and some full.. I was wondering...Would you guys recommend me a good exhaust setup.. like turbo back... all the way with high flow car is ok? or bad.. i wana hear the goods and bads... I'd appreciate it if you guys would post up the goods and bads about your set ups... My plan is to have a full ehxuast all the way not to loud but... something good then my next mod would be a intercooler... Thanks so much guys.

Geraus Huynh.

What bads? as long as you dont go something ridiculously over 4" turbo back I cant see anyhing causing a problem (except for noise)

Free(er) flowing exhaust is a good thing, exhaust gases are leaving the engine faster.

If you dont want a lot of noise then the Trust PEII is probably a good option, 3" pipe and only barely over legal limit. Fujitsubo have a few that are quiet with good airflow aswell, stay away from the HKS high power silent, it is not silent :yes:

The Magic cat is a good brand and try to aim for atleast 3inch or bigger as a minimun.

Also, get a split dump and front pipe - So the seperate wastegate pipe joins down nea the cat, this helps reduce any turbulence up the dump pipe end.

I have a trust system with two oval mufflers and it is very very quiet. So if you want silence go for two mufflers that are oval, but if you want it loud, go a single cannon.

have fun

Heres a hint, try any of the car importers in town.

A lot of their stock comes into the country with good quality aftermarket exhausts, these exhaust are of no real value to them

as they need stock systems to comply their cars. What they do need is stock systems like yours..aproach one nicely and do a deal, it

should work out cheaper by a good $ or 2. I found a huge genuine nismo cat back and a titanium dump for mine some years back.

I've since changed the dump to a split. I think it cost me around $350 at the time fitted.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
