Hey all,

I have a R33 GTR and i am looking to get an exhaust done on it... ive asked around got quotes etc etc...

Ive been quoted any were from $2200 to over $4000...

Now i was looking through nengun.com at there exhausts they offer and came across these two items...

http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/mx-front-pipe

and

http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/titan-composite

Now if i team those two items up together would that work?? or what am i missing!!! as this would only come to $1155.65 which is much MUCH cheaper than any of the quotes i have got...

What am i over looking?

cheers

What are you overlooking?

Well for a start, good luck finding stock of the Titan Composite system.

Second, you have not allowed for freight.

Third, you have not allowed for the tax and duty you will be paying when the exhaust arrives.

Its not like importing a Power FC, the exhaust box is massive and you will more than likely need a customs broker.

How exactly is the above MUCH cheaper than anywhere here, when a quick look through the trader forum reveals you can have a new Kakimoto Regu 06&R cat back for $895, and Stainless JJR Front Pipes with local warranty for $299?

Ok cheers for the ideas.... but saying about the JJR Front Pipes for $299 (thats the ones Just Jap sell right) has anyone used them? are they actually any good? seeing as brand name ones retail easily double the price?

I looked at them recently when I was there and they are very similar to the HKS type and the build quality appears to be very good.

thanks for that... have contcted them and Steve sounds quite good.

Only problem i dont like is the exhaust cannon is only Titanuim looking not a real titanium tip.... Not into fake things...

The dump pipes would be good if i knew they worked well...

well bud. u see in your first pic of the system that u uploaded?

it has a rear cannon, a cat and a =mid muffler.

the mid muffler helps heaps. i had one with a jasma muffler, sounds like a camry, whisper quite. but when i took it out, it was loud as.

the mid muffler acts as a baffle, which im sure u already know, and helps to suppress the sound. u do lose power but its only about 0.0002hp, but is worth it.

especially for a gtr, u dont want to attract any more attention ay.

I have a r33 s2 GTST with a JJR stainless front pipe. Different kettle of fish the GTR, i know... I was happy with the integrity of the welds and bends on the JJR front pipe, and the fit was ok, but I did have to change some of the studs off the turbo to bolts as I could get nuts on a couple of them due to the shape of the pipe.

Yeah I have the $160 hi-flow 3" cat converter

with a bellmouth Just Jap stainless 3" front pipe (turbo to cat) for $220

plus a Kakimoto gtr racing 3" muffler for $100

with custom 3" pipe from cat to muffler at exhaust shop

much cheaper than 2k plus

kakimoto mufflers sound horn and are free flowing

JJR dumps are good value for money

I wish tho I got a big body cat converter.......

      Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo

      Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Just buy a bunch of covers off aliexpress, they're like $5 each. Rattle-can them and stick them on as needed/fly off.
