Hi All,

Just had a $899- stainless steel turbo back exhaust put on my 95 R33 Gts-t and I wanted to give it a little plug ...

The fitment of these things is unbeliveable ,with only 1 tiny modification to a water line needed to be made, from the back of the dump pipe (split front and dump) the thing runs 10mm off of the floor with minimal clearence past the hicas and then finishes with a nicely angled cannon muffler that sits up pretty tight to the standard rear bar :D My mechanic could bearly believe that this was a $900 system and said most of the big name jap brands don't fit that well!

The cat back section of the exhaust is well in excess of 3'' (probally more like 4'') which worried me upon first inspection because I thought this thing was going to be extremely loud with only one tiny resonator and massive the massive cannon style muffler attached to the back end of the cat-back section.

However; upon the turn of the key for the first time after fitment my ears were greated with a slight blip and then a wicked exhaust note as the RB came back to sit on idle ... mmmm that sweet, juciy RB hum :)

Cruising at around 2.5 --> 3k the difference is bearly noticable apart from a slight burble and deeper hum backing off the throttle when coasting up to traffic lights.

Freeway driving is no chore either with no droning under partial throttle at 3k (110km/h) in 5th and only slight burble/drone rolling down the hills off throttle.

Power is greatly improved (although I won't be able to tell you to what extent because I had a HDi FMIC and A'Pexi Power intake, heat sheild and CAI all done at the same time) through the midrange; the RB25 feels like a completely differen't beast.

The only complaint I have about the system is that boost has skyrocketed to a very unsafe 14-15psi (standard turbo) at 4500 revs which of course means that the factory computers boost cut is comming into play under heavy right foot conditions.

The next round of modification will include o2 sensors, coils, plugs, an R32 wastegate actuator, bosch 040/4 and a reflash of the factory ECU ...

Hoping for around 190-200rwkw @ 10-12psi on standard turbo.

Fingers Crossed.

End Rant

Chris :(

p.s. will post pics up soon :w00t:

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
