Hey guys, I purchased my N/A R33gts25 over the weekend and i'm firstly looking to change the stock exhaust/muffler... I've done a bit of searching around the forums and reading... But still a little unclear on some things...

I'm not interested in power modifications ( but don't want to lose power ) as I'm on my P's and it isn't worth the hassle with the new restrictions... i'm just after a nice drive with a nice sound output. That being, nothing too loud that gives you a head ache... just something quiet that kicks in a bit when you give it a nudge...

Specifically on sound, something that has the stock sound of the twins im using at the moment ( that ferrari'ish sound lol ) with a little bit more depth would be awesome... Pretty sure most of you know the sound i'm talking about.. i'll try get a sound file of my current exhaust..

So, should i be searching around for something like this http://www.autobarn.com.au/default.asp ( a complete system )

Or should i just look around for mufflers?

Any help is greatly appreciated :P

if you want a really nice sounding exhaust that is not loud, get a "remus" or a "hi-tech" system. be prepared to pay for it though

They probably wont fit a skyline mate, unless they are specifically for your model dont bother. go order some king springs, or k macs like i did, and then i got pedders shocks to go with it. Do it right, do it once.

just took a pic anyway ( what size are your springs? )

Bit hard to tell if they would fit by pictures, you actually need the code number and ring up king springs and ask what car theyre designed to fit... most likly if they arn't skyline they wont fit as they wont sit in the bottom and top of the strut properly.

Mine are 3.75" lowered kmac's.... they are a much wire and thicker spring by the looks of it. Though bit hard to tell by the picture

not that I know of. cheapest way to get one is to convince someone who has an N/A who's turboing their car and has aftermarket extractors to sell em to you :)

(and no, I'm not turboing my car)

here's the webpage for it:

http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/psrs-v.php3?id=00000086

here's one at yahoo for an R33 GTS25

http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r19118868

only $1300 :D The reason they're exxy is because their custom made items, ie you place the order and they make one for you.

I've got some pics of it on my car, I'll see if I can dig em up.

If its too big, yes, you will lose power as you still need some decent backpressure on N/A's. However there's also no point fitting a high flow cat back exhaust when your extractors don't flow for shit. Your system's only as good as its smallest bottleneck.

extractors are worth doing. if you do them with a cat back exhuast then you get the best gains. pipe sizing for N/As are pretty much rb20e/de 2.25" and rb25de is 2.5" that is mandrel bent.

when i put my rb30de in i will keep my current 2.5" mandrel bent exhuast that i currently have on my rb20e. its far to big to be good for any low down power

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
