So, I purchased a project R33 S1 Skyline, unfortunately it came with a RB20e...  (would engine swap but I’m on my P’s :( )

I’ve been hunting for ages trying to find an exhaust but I have had no luck.. 

Does anyone know if I could bolt up a rb25de (aftermarket) catback to my rb20e and all fit up? 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cat back should fit but better off to keep it quiet

Thanks for your reply :) 

keeping it quiet was the plan, it currently has no muffler and sounds aweful in the high rev range ?

How about buying two fat mufflers and getting an exhaust shop to install them?

I don't recall seeing aftermarket for RB25DE, are they 2.5"? But yeah no muffler is awful. Hell even a standard/stock turbo cat back would be better, if it fits.

This was literally the only N/A exhaust I could find, besides the price what do you think? (They have this exhaust for a lot of models)

Literally 10x easier to take said car to the exhaust shop and point to it and say "Put a muffler in the middle of the pipe and a muffler at the back, please."

Cost is the 2x mufflers and some time and some welding. The front end of your existing exhaust is already proven to connect to the manifold flange, and the thing is already connected to the hangers. No doubt or worries required over whether it will fit, because it already does. And the new mufflers don't need to be hi-po or stainless or annointed with the tears of virgins. It's an NA RB20 single cam - so broadly equivalent to a 1999 Corolla in terms of flow needs. Buying a kakimoto cat back is the very definition of overkill and woftam.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
