hi all

got an r33 gtst series 2, when i bought the car it came with a trust 3" to 3.5" mild steel cat-back exhaust. sounds ok but not as loud or as good sounding as other r33's...after hearing afew other skylines out n about i realised there exhausts sound so tough and awesome...mine has a trust muffler/resonator thingo about 0.5meters after the cat...could this be the culprit?

i thought it could be the stock dump and cat so i changed them to the JJR stainless bell mouth front/dump in one and xforce 3" hi-flow cat...still no change

wot is needed to hav one realy nice rb sounding exhaust note, should i get rid of the muffler and get sum 3" pipe welded in its place?

ps. its got a big trust, jasma certified cannon with 5" tip

any info would be great, cheers

All I have is the front/dump pipe which is 3", high flow cat and a 3" cat back with only one muffler at the rear.

Most of the track days I have been at, I get some good feedback on how throaty mine sounds!

:D

one of my mates got a custom 2.5" system made up for him at an exhaust joint for $350

beats the living shit out of my straight thru 3" with xforce cannon

it has a really deep angry sound when idling and cruising, but when it gets up past about 4500rpm it sounds like it's about to tear your face off...

quite an aggressive sound really and cost considerably less than any of the brand name exhausts out there and still gave a decent power increase over the stocker

when you say 1 muffler at the rear, u mean the cannon right?

ive got a muffler abit after the cat, also realised its been hit sumwhere and has abit of a dint in one of the corners with a slight hole...

hmm

yeah just a cannon at the rear, its all u need.

before i had a full exhaust turbo back decat 3" no res only a trust muffler @ end and it sounded quite as, think those trust jasma mufflers do alot.

now i got 3.5" => trust res into two 2.5" going to two 3.5" blast pipes.

now it sounds tough as but a bit to loud for daily use. almost 80% of people will turn their heads and look and 100% of police. but i still cream my pants everytime i hear it

i think you need to let someone else drive your car so you can hear it from the oustide, because your used to your car you cannot really hear the toughness or notice it.

This happened to me, got a few videos and then realised damn she does sound tough as!

Try it

An aftermarket manifold changes the note alot IMO.

I wasnt really happy with mine until we changed the manifold, now the note is like all the GTR drag cars you see in vids only quieter :)

wait till you hear mine...lol

guilt toy and ntsky make a good point.

after bolting on a high mount setup, my car has more of a barble note, similar to a v8. i jsut have straight thru to a cannon ;)

and definately get a mate to drive infront of u. u will be suprised at how good it sounds :)

    • 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.
