exhaust styles

[john]

hi guys, ive got r33 and im getting a 3" turbo back exhaust put on soon, i was thinking about getting the hyper style where the muffler comes up on an angle at the back, but i havent seen any picks of skylines with that style. anyone know where i can see some or any other comments

I've seen a few around sydney, but sorry don't have any pics.

A bit off the topic, would such a mod would be classified as a defect?

:evil:

a bit off topic, but can i ask why you turbo guys always talk about getting a turbo back exhaust or cat back, why not go the whole hog and get a set of extractors fitted. surely this would improve flow and shorten spool up time. i have also noticed that very few of you replace internals such as cams and was wondering why when you consider the expense of normal mods that are done.

hmm extractors on a turbo car?? how do u expect the turbo to work?

u could get a better flowing exhaust manifold for the turbine inlet thats about all.

well that answers my question then, as you can probably tell my backround is with N/A's, V8's etc.

where can i find some info on how turbo's work i.e is there a book i can purchase??

try www.howstuffworks.com. and have a look in the automotive area and you should find heaps of info there about how a turbo works and also how engines etc. work.

cheers

:evil: no :evil:

it's meant to be getting on a truck on thursday or friday, it somehow didn't get on today's truck.

so hopefully i will get the car this week after buying it back in february.

i've got a nice new set of wheels for it just sitting here with no car to put them on :evil:

jackal, i don't know how you can wait. i had to wait literally 20 odd hours and it was eating me away.

[PLAYAR]

i don't know myself how i've waited this long...i've tried to forget about it but that didn't work too well. i've got no car at the moment so that makes it so much worse.

all my friends think i have just been bullshitting to them about me buying a skyline because i told them about a month ago that i would have it and then everyweek since i've saying yeah it's on it's way....i can't wait to see their faces when i pull up next to them and blow all their commodores off the line though

[two40]

ha ha, it's all worth it in the end isn't it. if i were you i'd tell my mates that i was bullshitting and then just rock up one day driving a phat skyline. it'll be worth it for the look on their faces.

John, mines a 5Zigen system...

i will post a pic when i get home tonight.

onarun: what did you loose you license for?

i get mine back on June 4 and have already lost points on it so i'm only going to have 1 point as soon as i get it back.

from everything that has been happening to me i'm starting to think that i'm not meant to have a car or something like that :roll:

[two40]

jackal, i lost it for speeding. get it back on 13th of June.

1 point sucks, i'll have six as i had 12 when i got busted and lost six.

hey, i've had some major bad luck like crashed my line and lost my license a week after. :cry: by june i'll be 6 months without it.

thejackal, does that mean that you will be coming to drag combat then???

not sure if it will be a defect, i think all they have to go on with exhausts is noise, emmissions and clearance. with clearence it should only become a problem if some part of the exhaust is close to or below the bottom of my rim without a tyre (in case of a tyre blow out etc etc). r33 is not a loud engine so thats ok and emissions, well the cop would have to be a tool.

[PLAYAR]

in june it will be 6 months since i last had a car. the tension is building up so much and is ready to burst.

yeah i'm hoping that i'll make it to the drags. i'll be pissed off with myself if i don't go.
