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)

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
