Im running a K&N pod filter, and the noise it makes is crazy... havent had a chance to record a sound as no-one else has been in the car with me yet... car is off to workshop tomorrow to get excede clutch put in, so i'll try grab one after there.. shouldnt be too long.

Dayne

Thanks for that PVA_Glue!

Sounds good! Is that thing auto? Can you please tell me all the details of the exhaust set-up you had (resonators, mild or stainless steel piping etc, cat-back or full, extractors?)

And if you have a pic, I'd love to see what your POD filter set-up looked like, did you use any heat-shield or CAI piping? Would you recommend the Blitz metal mesh one?

Does anyone know what kind've sound I'd get from just changing the muffler? (My mate just did this with his 2.5L Impreza RS and it sounds good)

How much will a 2.5" cat-back system cost roughly?

Thanks.

P.S. I've attached a mp3 of my stock standard R33 GTS-4 for anyone who's interested, just revving it in neutral today, take it to about 3, then 4.5 then 7 grand (first time I've done it, felt good! hehe)

R33GTS4_Rev.mp3

I have a '94 GTS Coupe with a 2.5" exhaust and a 4.5" tip, other then that its stock and it's fairly loud.

It looks like I have 2 Catalytic converters or something? One around about where the doors are and another where the back pillar/windscreen goes down (estimate). They're the same kinda shape and size so I'm not sure whats going on. Can anyone tell me what one of these are?

I will try and get a recording of mine, how did you guys record yours? Could I use like a phone and transfer it to pc, or will that be poor quality?

Hey mate, one is prolly cat converter and the other might be a resonator or something.

I recorded mine on a digi cam as a movie and then put the movie on the comp and just recorded the sound of it with the windows program 'Sound Recorder'. Try it with your phone and see how it goes.

Did your car already have the exhaust system fitted when you bought it? I'm trying to find out how much a 2.5" system will cost me.

Got a pic of your muffler, is it a cannon?

Stock muffler looks so shit hanging out the back of my car atm :rolleyes:

I'm looking at getting the Apexi Power Intake POD filter, $165 on modyourcar.com.au

Yeah it was already on there, also I have a HKS Panel filter, it's not super high performance though and is gettin a bit old. I will take some pics of it and try a recording today, gotta install my splits and wash it.

Not sure what's going on with my computer but I can't play either of those .MOV files. Could somebody convert the files to mp3 or wav files or something so that I can at least listen to them? Thanks.

P.S. Anyone seen any places selling jap-brand (HKS, Blitz etc) exhausts for N/A R33s? (new or used)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
