Ive got an R32 gtst running stock turbo and boost with pod filter and front mount cooler. I want a cat back exhaust thats a cannon style and want it to be within legal DB limit for NSW. I was looking at kakimoto and was told it was a 'legal' 91 db. I thought 91DB is illegal for NSW. Which exhaust should i be looking at?

Go for Fujitsubo. They are known for having the quietest systems without comprimising performance. Have used them a few times on previous cars, would highly recommend them. Probably a "Power Getter" or "RM-01A" model would suit nicely. If you can find someone that stocks them, they should be anywhere between $1200-$1500 for cat back.

OR for a cheap alternative, go an X-Force cat back system with silencer in it - less than $1,000 easy

Would i benefit from a cannon just welded from the tip on standard exhaust? I can get one for free, thats why i ask.

You probably wont see any gains from just adding a cannon onto the stock exhaust. The size of the exhaust piping, the type of bends used as well as the cat converter determine how free flowing the exhaust is. Even adding a cat back exhaust will probably only see a small gain if any. If you dont have the funds to get a turbo back 3" exhaust and a new cat start off with the cat back and then as you get the money add a 3" dump/front pipe and then a better flowing cat converter. Thats the way I have gone, I picked up a mandrel bent 3" cat back exhaust a couple of months ago and am about to add a dump/front pipe. Then in a month or two want to get a 3" metal cat fitted when I have a spare $400 (gotta love christmas)

But wont a full 3" from turbo be loud? I may just stick with getting a cat back, buts whats a quiet one to get?

You wont really know till you put it on, it also depends on the cannon that you use. If the cannon has more dampening fibres it will be quieter. I think you will be hard pressed finding a quiet, free flowing exhaust that will give you more power. Those two things don't really go together

So the kakimoto will not be legal for NSW then?

      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!

      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.

      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.
