Hi all,

Im expecting my frount mount kit this week in the post (hopefully tommorrow)... Its a HDI kit for a R33 that includes piping ect.... It will be going into a 1997 Stagea RSFour, which have a Sidemount stock cooler.

Just wondering how hard the install is going to be? I have performed a timing belt change on the car and that wasnt hard at all but thats about it. Im I bike mechanic so Im pretty mechanically minded.

I could wait untill the weekend and do it with a mate that has done one on a pulsar Gtir but as you would all know I'd like to get it in ASAP :thumbsup:

What do you all think? Any advice/tips/how to's?

thanks in advance,

chris

Have a look at DIY thread there maybe some tips.

Work out how your going to take off the front bar first.

Talk to someone that has done it to your car exactly. Because first time attempt takes the longest. Second round is always the easiest.

Follow the manual if you got one.

Hope your piping fits up good and easy (if Chinese could be a little trouble)

If any pipe is wrong size you can get it made up at a exhaust shop just make up an example one out of pvc

Don’t know what else to say except think positive and say to yourself it’s no rocket science "you can do it".

Once your done don't forget to take soem pics and write up a DIY so the next person can attempt it.

Good luck.

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
