93 R33 Gts-4 P Plate, What's Legal?

[S3RK]

Recently got myself a first car, relax guys, I'm not going to thrash it on public roads. Soon enough I'll be attending a few track days with SAU

So first up,

I'd like to change the stock exhaust system (Apparently you MUST change all r33 systems? Not sure why )

My friends uncle will do the entire system from headers to tip for a decent price, what's the best I can do still being legal? I'm under the understanding that 91 or 93dB max at 4.5kRPM.

What about performance wise? If the system is considered "Sports" would that put me at risk?

I'm looking currently to spend not a lot, but get as much gain as possible.

What's some small things I could buy that would get myself a step ahead?

I've been told apexi panel filter, and a few other bits.

Thanks guys

Sounds a bit cheap and nasty to me.

Remember this saying

Speed costs money, How fast do you want to go?

or even this one

Cheap - Fast - Reliable, Pick two

Nothing cheap will get you any meaningful gains and will more than likely cost more in the long run, as you will have to pull off and replace cheap shit parts when they fail or don't do their job correctly.

Something to think about

Yeah he owns a workshop, been there for years not sure where it is.

Well I definitely want reliability, which obviously results in more money.

That would be the best option as I'd rather not have issues later on down the track.

Well, if it were me, I would just try to enjoy it, chuck a decent exhasut on.

Then spend coin on suspension and brakes.

Bugger all gains to be had from the NA RB, so make it steer and stop, because the GTS4 is a heavy bastard so will never be a weapon in a straight line, but has plenty of grip so take advantage of it

1400 for exhaust headers to tip bro. Not worth it.

If you want a good sound, avoid a cannon. Get a 2.5" cat back for like $350, it's a bit droney but it's sound. Can get very loud.

You're a sydney resident yeah? If I don't sell my car this weekend I'll take you for a drive soon so you can hear the 2.5" catback.

Trust me mate, enjoy having an awesome car on your Ps, sell it later, get a GTST, GTS4 with turbo or even better, GTR.

Good work on getting that car too. It's a step down from a GTR but I trust you'll enjoy it.

He has quoted me a lot cheaper, not sure I'll have to see what the go is before I step my self into anything.

Bro we used to do something together online, not sure but I've got you on MSN.

A drive? Sounds good

The ultimate plan is to do a few things to this car and later on when I'm nearing my fulls get a 32 GTR and go hard out.

Yeah we did I've been meaning to start a keyhunt v2 sort of thing but time, effort, money etc. etc. Forum software for that genre has gone down hill and it always did suck at generating content.

Yeah, it's a good plan. I might be selling my gts25 soon so I won't have a liner, but I'll rock my nugget Hyundai to some cruises hahaha xD

Got some friends with friends with friends, so sometimes things come together and events happen. I'll keep you posted

it's an exhaust. there is a limit to how much the cheap/fast/reliable theory applies to this. performance wise there will be minimal difference, but cosmetically there may be a bit (how neat the welds are, etc). however there will be a bit of a difference in noise attenuation in mufflers.

basically, just get a decent oval muffler and a centre muffler/resonator and you will still have good flow without the drone or attention from the boys in blue.

[zebra]

yup, but buying cheap ebay mufflers means the exhaust will fall apart in 6-12 months, so its still kinda relevant.

[mad082]

yeah but he said a mates uncle was going to do it, implying he has some sort of exhaust workshop, and generally exhaust places use better quality mufflers (note i said generally). in the same way that bike shops generally sell better quality bikes/parts than big w, etc.
