Hey all, how's it going?

Been floating around the forums for a while now and thought it was time to introduce ourselves and ask for a little bit of help.

Our names are Drew and Jess. We live with Veilwest and Ozcan so its a very Nissan friendly household with Ozcan's black on black R34 GTT, Veilwests widebody S15 and our R32 GTR. Currently the GTR is a little dead (spun a bearing :pwned: ) so thats the main reason for not introducing ourselves a little earlier lol. It was only on the roads of Canberra for 1 day before it shat itself so unlikely its been spotted driving around but may have been spotted while on the back of a tow truck once or twice.

It's gunmetal grey with a gold pearl to it (Ask Eiji, its hot lol). Very pretty but very dead lol. Still love the car, its in the process of being fixed so hopefully we'll be able to meet up with everyone before the end of the year.

Anyway, back to asking for a little bit of help....

I gave my dad (Drew's dad) my old R32 GTS when me and Jess bought the GTR so he's currently in the process of trying to get a roadworthy sorted. I only owned the car for close to a year so i never ended up swapping the rego over because by the time rego ran out we would have our GTR. Basically the exhaust that the previous owner put on it is ridiculously loud and failed roadworthy, so I'm wondering if anyone here has a stock or quiet catback exhaust for an R32 that would pass roadworthy that me and my dad would be able to buy or borrow for a couple of days at some point to pass roadworthy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :thanks:

Cheers guys,

Drew

Have contemplated fitting another muffler, its something we're considering at the moment but got quoted today $320 to make it 100% legal. Haven't had a chance to shop around for quotes yet but does $320 sound a bit steep?

yeah it's stainless.

the setup it has at the moment is completely stock from engine to cat and then stainless 3inch from cat back. even with the silencer in it it's still to loud and has the worst sound lol.

good to know that $320 is pretty average though, might ask dad if he wants me to go halves with him to help him out

$300 a day, really? thats insane lol.

$320 really doesn't sound so bad anymore. Hoping to get everything sorted by end of next week but we'll just get another week permit if thats not possible. He also got told that both front suspension upper ball joints (i think thats what its called. the bit at the bottom of the upright where the front hubs pivot) have play in them and it got failed on that too. he got quoted $1600 to fix it all but thats with getting brand new uprights from nissan. I've got another pair of front uprights/hubs at home so this weekend im thinking of swapping those ones in to see if its any better. it's not possible to just tighten the bolt to fix the play unless the bolt is already loose correct?

if you understand what im trying to describe lol.

Cheers

As a general rule of thumb, I've noticed exhausts come in multiple parts:

Dump pipe

Front pipe

Cat converter

Cat back (upto almost the axle)

Muffler section

If course this is just for single muffler systems - or at least mine.

The exhaust on dads 32 is in 2 parts from the cat to the end. Cat to about half way (rear axle ish) is straight through, no muffler/resonator type thing, connected to the rear section by a 2 bolt flange, then from that flange there's maybe 2 feet of pipe which curves to go under axle then welded to the rear muffler which is a cannon/hotdog type jobbie. 3inch from cat to the end

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
