Hi all,

I'm needing to replace the catback exhaust on my R33GTSt with a full turboback setup and am unsure of whether to go for a Jap bolt on setup or get an exhaust shop to make one up for me.

Has anyone else done this recently? Recommendations of exhaust shops around Canberra? Any thoughts on the Jap vs custom exhaust issue?

At the moment I'm leaning towards a Trust Power Extreme II (80mm) fron Nengun, and getting a 3" front/dump pipe and highflow CAT from BATMBL on this site.

(Maybe someone recommends another Jap exhaust over the Trust?)

$570 + $320 shipping for the exhaust = $890

$190 CAT + $250 front/dump = $440

Total = $1330

My car is fairly low too (current thing seems to be custom made and hangs down and scrapes a lot) and I'm thinking that I'm guarenteed to get a nice tight neat fit with a Jap prefab thing.

Cheers,

John

my jap 3.5 inch was too low - wasn't fitted up all that well - I changed it to a 3 inch with a magna flow 3 inch cat (worth $450), along with 2 x 3 inch straight through mufflers. Phillip Exhaust did the work. email me at [email protected] and I will discuss further with you inc price / pros&cons.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
