After years of riding sports bikes I have moved into cages and have just picked up my first ever Skyline (R33 GST-T) and looking to trick it out a bit. It still has it's stock exhaust and pipes fitted so I was wondering what are the options moving forward. Seems I can go catback or turbo back and wondering what the difference is and what other pipes I should be considering.

Grateful any guidance

Cheers

Hi mate welcome to the skyline world :)

The easiest way I can explain the difference is to imagine your exhaust system in section. starting at the Turbo, you have a Dump pipe bolted onto it which travels down to the Front pipe, connecting then to the Cat, from here is the muffler section.

e.g. "Turbo->dump->front->cat->catback"

There is a slight variation though also. you can have a Front/dump pipe which as the name suggest it essentially is both joined together and cannot be split apart.

e.g. So this time making it "turbo->front/dump->cat->catback"

hope this helps :D

      R34 GTT air noise?

      By JC71 · Posted

      I will go over it again, a leak would make the most sense and also explain why I have a high idle issue if I plug the iacv in...I have had everything off, inspected, and replaced every coupler and hose in question, new clamps, reinstalled and basically soaked the entire system with soapy water and find nothing... could there possible be an issue with the wastegate rusted open?? from sitting so long? again the air sound literally sounds like a 3 inch open pipe blowing or sucking air, not just a small passage, very strange.   do appreciate the help

      Boost leak or exhaust leak. Boost could be from anywhere, including manifold/plenum gaskets. Exhaust is frequently head to manifold gasket or from manifold to turbo gasket. Often caused by missing nuts or broken studs.

      Wheel offset has me confused.

      Check for spacers on the front, in case they've been pushed out a little to try to match he rears better.

      I should clarify that the previous owner put the wheels on, so Im not entirely sure what he bought. I was searching the Rota page and found these two as the only matches. It did not occur to me that perhaps they sell these wheels with different offsets. I guess the best way to solve this is to take the wheels off and measure them from the inside to be sure.

      The offset doesn't really have anything to do with dish directly. I mean it kind of does but it also doesn't, it's only tangenial. The offset is purely how much offset (get it) the mounting face is from the CENTER of the width of the rim. I.e, the mounting face would be directly in the middle of the 9.5inches if it was a 18x9.5 ET0 rim. Given it is a +12 rim, the mounting face is 12mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). Your fronts are +30, so the mounting face is 30mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). I would wager this doesn't look right, because most skylines generally have the same with guards front to back. So I'd think your fronts look significantly more sunken in than your rears. I'd wager by about 18mm, or so.
