Bcnr33 Exhaust On Ecr33?

[Reflector]

Hey all,

So I've got the option to upgrade my exhaust to something a little more 'special' at what I consider a fairly good price. My car is a 1996 S2 M-Spec R33 GTS-T. I have access to a HKS Hi-Power exhaust however, it's only listed for the BCNR33 RB26DETT. As far as I'm aware the system is only cat back. I've tried searching and I can't find a definitive answer so...

The question is - Will a HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust listed for a BCNR33 RB26DETT fit my ECR33 RB25DET with no hassle ie - mounting points are the same etc..

I've read that the R32 GTS-T and R32GT-R's are interchangeable, is this this same with R33's?

I've owned 2x R33 GTS-ts and used GT-R exhausts on them, so I know they fit, but I believe not the other way around as they don't clear certain things.

Thanks for that, a little reassurance is good to hear . Just didn't want to go and spend the money then realize I'd have to find a GT-R owner willing to buy it .

How was the ground clearance on both exhausts and what brand? (just out of curiosity)

I had an Apexi N1 on my old R33, clearance was decent, but I find my current R33 with the HKS Superdragger (larger too) has better ground clearance.

Ah thanks man. I was really looking forward to getting this new exhaust but when I spoke to the guy he said it's not going to fit because it's designed for the RB26DETT - even though it's just a cat back. I'm usually an impulse buyer however, this is a little much to take the gamble on unfortunately. I'm guessing each exhaust bends/welds look different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I tried comparing my existing exhaust to one the same as I was going to get. The mount brackets look slightly different on the cannon tip (ones really short ones really long).

Has anyone successfully fitted a HKS hi-power GTR exhaust to their GTS-T?

I have an N1 pro, it fits gtst and gtr 33's, hangs a little low for me but no drone at all.

Catback wise GTR or GTST will be exactly the same. Mounting points are the same, Reason they're located differently is probably because one cannon is designed to mount at a different angle to the other.

I fit a gtst hi power to my 33 Gtr. Tight fit, but good fit. So it should be easier the reverse.
