I have a stock R33 Gtst and I have been shopping around to see what type of exhaust I should get.

It seems every where I go I get given different advice.

it is starting to get confusing.

Drift King tell me they recommend a mild steel exhaust HPC coated.

others tell me stainless is best.

then there is those that tell me a single pipe for the dump pipe and others that tell me to get a double dump pipe with a seperate pipe for the waste gate gases.

Some tell me that the stainless systems sound to tinny!

Can any one help me ?

what seems to work the best?

any one know a good place in Brisbane ?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

get a custom job, mine works like a dream, it really purrs and is a loud exhaust at all.

get something like a 4inch dump into a 3.5inch pipe then shortening into a 3inch (or can u get 3.5inch cats???) high flow cat then 3.5inch pipe all the rest of the way

just my suggestion anyway...

double dump pipe with a seperate pipe for the waste gate gases.

high flow cat

3 in exhaust. mild steel with HPC coated.

stainless are stronger, so are allow to using thinner pipe, hence lighter. But then most of them are shit so mild steel are always money for value.

Yeh I've been looking for an exhaust too, particularly the split dump pipe. Had trouble finding one cheaply, but I don't think it'll make that much different if you're keeping stock turbo (like I am). So I just settled for a standard dump/front pipe in one (no split)...check the forsale forums for BATMBL's thread.

A mate of mine has custom made allot of exhaust systems and we have found the best way to go is a full stainless with a split dump pipe wastegate merging apout a foot down, a single 3' straight through muffler (marathon) with a cannon on the end. sounds great and doesn't drone.

Stainless is great it'll never rust out other wise there are some fairly good titanium or stainless systems around available off the shelf.

Nozila I bought a stainless pipe, and at the moment it's sitting in my room because I want to purchase the rest of the exhaust (cat-back system) before I install it.

But if I had the chance I'd probably buy the mild steel version instead. Cost, as well as I can't really see the pipe rusting anytime soon (although I have no conclusive evidence to back that up, just my feelings).

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
