Hey all,

R33 GTST Series 2

bought one of these the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ALLOY-INTAKE-PIPE-4...id=p3286.c0.m14

Doesn't state anywhere on the ad that its a pain in the ass to fit and that it is not a direct fit.

Hose from blow off valve and breather house have to me changed or modified!

Few pics..

Take off standard cooler piping

Remove standard intake pipe

Test fit new alloy pipe.. oh look, nothing lines up!

End up having to run new house for breather and BOV

Had to do with what we had for joining hose to alloy pipe as we couldn't get a hold of the correct size pipe for BOV plumb back into intake.

Also, had to trim about 2cm off the bottom of the pod filter other wise it wouldn't sit under the bonnet because the alloy pipe is a bit too long!!!!

In other words,

dodgey kit! Nothing lines up!!

hate to say it but this is what you get for cheap knock off items on ebay / 2nd hand traders

its probably autobahn 88 or something cheap etc

if it was a legit HKS or Trust item it would be about sub $500 and fit perfectly and mate up

but if its a knock off $80 item what can you expect?

just blank off the BOV and practice p i g e o n noise ;)

Already have.. just made up the BOV return line just so it looks like its hooked up

is that a hose holding in a hose there(big fitting nearest afm)? haha

Yes lol, BOV is blocked off anyways

Defiantly run a bigger bov return hose :P

Lol, its just so its there to make the BOV legal as you know its meant to be plumbed back. The BOV is blocked off anyways

Ah good ole ebay "direct fit" parts...

Cost you more in time than something from a well known trader if you paid initially :P

Good writeup/info on what you needed/need to do etc though for others that might get into the same predicament

someone must have stole his account

how do i know if my stock r33 pipe is closing shut running 17psi? would my knock increase??

you will lose lots of power :(

put it on a dyno and have a look while a run is being done. much easier than trying to drive with the bonnet up and someone standing on a skateboard leaning into the engine bay, LOL

There is none.

Only time you will see a 'gain' is if your stock one is sucking shut, which really isn't a gain, its just replacing a stuffed/broken part

sorry ash but i beg to differ

i made a "dose" pipe on sunday night after work and fitted it all up its 3 inch stainless steel and about 30cm long ish

the response in every gear is much better it definately had a good gain in response. the dose is not very loud either which is good too.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
