OH thanks ndawg yeah im really nooby at these kinds of stuff.

I have to ask, if you're really new to this kind of stuff why are you spending money on it?

Extractors will give sweet f**k all but an empty wallet. The gains are not worth it. I should know as I put them on my Supra.

LOL ive done most of the suspension stuff already wheels good tires, cold air intake, and im happy with the handling now i just want to push more power before i start to do internals or even do it at all, the nooby bit was that i dont know who are the suppliers or manufacturers and just wanted to know soo i can start looking.

Your choice mate, but if it were me and I wanted a faster NA Skyline I'd invest in some very light weight rims - to get a decent size and good looking you'll be looking at some serious cash. At least its something that I could keep when I sold my GTS and upgraded to a turbo model. Whereas an expensive exhaust will probably only devalue your car.

the gains i got from putting coby's on my r34 have been worth it, whats the point in putting a new system on a car if you leave the headers all restricted? i see the gains on the highway evertime i pass a car on the highway, obviously they dont make an NA into a rocket ship but they greatly allow more performance over the stock item - ive read on here you can get an extra 4 or 5 kw or something like that on the top end, which isnt much lol but something anyways for an NA

and coby's arent too much, i got mine for 280 new, but i guess yours wil cost more after shipping

different cars will get different gains from extractors. my v6 magna it didn't make a scrap of difference because the cams were the restriction not the headers. however on my SSS pulsar it made a massive difference. i probably gained 10 or 15kw up top as the stock headers started to choke the engine at about 5500rpm, but now it revs out nicely to about 7000rpm before it starts to choke a bit.

Cobys are at a good price when tehs a GB on for them. Don't bother buying just set for yourself. Not worth it at all. I know cos I did it lol. Might as well go the DKNE ones. But if your willing to spend the money then yea lol. To be honest I didn't notice much difference at all in power, but response was a bit better.

Dude, I promise you the 2JZ-GE will gain far more power from a full exhaust system than an RB25DE.

I did the works: HPC DKNE extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent custom system and high flow cat, and the gains were simply not worth the price. So why would spending the same amount of money for the same mods be any better value on a Skyline?

the guy has brought a skyline not a supra and trying to compare the 2 cars is like comparing apples with oranges.....it just dont work. 2 different engines and 2 totally different cars.

when i put the extractors on my 34 i gained responsiveness and maybe only a kw or 2, but the responsiveness was there. I had too get my extractors custom made as there werent any that you could buy "off the shelf" at the time.

i gained 16 kW just from the exhaust alone, and i got the extractors about 6 mths after i had the exhaust put on.

simpleboyy - its your car dude so you do what you want with it and dont listen to the people that say "do this or dont do this"...... if you need any help with anything ill be more than happy to help you with whatever questions you have,

good luck :D

Sure, it's apples and oranges, but they're still both fruit.

Putting extractors on the Supra does the exact same thing. Grants you around... 5rwkw top end and grants much more power down low.

All I'm saying is the gains from extractors are minimal, and on an NA your money can be put to much better use. Whether it be suspension, decent lightweight wheels, tyres, cosmetic or just putting it away for your next car.

Depends too how restrictive the existing exhaust system is. I don't know how the supra and skyline exhausts compare, but if one is more restrictive from factory than the other, then naturally one is going to have more gains in power and/or responsiveness than the other.

i gained about 10kw from extractors alone on my SSS pulsar, yet on my v6 magna the full exhaust (extractors and cat back) only gained me 7kw. as people have said, you can't compare the effect that extractors will have between 2 different engines

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
