Ok I have a 93' R33 GTSt. Some time ago I had a Kakimoto stainless cat back system fitted - no probs there. Later I purchased an X-Force 3" cat, HPI split front pipe and JJR split dump pipe. The dump pipe fits perfectly and is on the car, the front pipe however will not go the distance between cat and dump pipe (its inches short) plus the dump pipe end on it is the wrong angle anyway to match (could this be an R34 part :wave: ?). So its way too late to take any of this stuff back so what I now need is a decent front pipe that will match up and be long enough to go from cat to dump pipe and actually fit. Thanks for any assistance !!

well have you spoken to custom fabricators?

you may wana look into a custom exhaust workshop.....they may be able to weld something up to suit

and may be better on your wallet too......than trying to measure everything to suit

i have the same cat and cat back(brand any way)

Above as, just go the single piece dump/front pipe - 1 less gasket to worry about

Got mine from just jap and fitted fine, its a x-force bell mouth unit but its not listed on their website anymore - only JJR ones

ok further information on this for you... the part you have is the worng HPI part, its for an R32. i am pretty sure the R34 dual front pipe is the correct one. i just bought the R33 part from JustJap and its wrong. Does not fit at all, is short and is the wrong angle just like you said...

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
