Hi all,

Some fool crawled under my r33 gts-r (na), unbolted and took off with my muffler; I was parked at Doolandella on friday night for a few hours. The guy prolly lives near there since I go there a fair bit on the weekends. It a pretty rare muffler so I’d like to locate it if possible, it’s a Trust, mild steel (not stainless steel) with a 4inch outlet (not sure), sorry no pics of it. You might have seen me driving along the Centenary HWY to and from UQ St Lucia on the weekdays. I’m a poor ass science student doing my pHD and I really loved that muffler. I’m currently not driving my skyline since I can’t afford to get a new muffler; does anyone have a stock muffler that they would like sell/give away? Anyway if anyone notices my old muffler, can you post up where you saw it?

Thank you

I bought a Trust muffler from a guy (on these forums) in South Brisbane but that was a few weeks ago and mine is stainless steel.

BTW, what's an R33 GTS-R?

Make a wanted to buy thread if you havent already. I'm sure someone will be willing to give/sell you theirs. I've got my stock muffler sitting in the garage but was hoping to hang onto it. If you can't find anyone willing to sell theirs let me know and I'll consider letting go of mine because I know I'd hate to have my muffler stolen, thats f**ked!

Try and find a pic of your stolen muffler so people know what to look out for. Hope you get it back buddy!

BTW, what's an R33 GTS-R?

naturaly aspirated.. non-turbo.. didn't have the extra dosh to bring a proper one in

If its got a 4inch outlet or bigger and it ain't stainless steel chances are it might be mine.. its not a perfectly circular one either, it was flat along the top i think

Thanks

huhuhu...

holy crap I hope my one didn't cost as much as this one... mild steel is definately cheaper right? any way this is the closest one that i could find which looks like mine, it got trust in big words on the under belly too. The outlet is exactly like mine but I'm not sure if it was that big... maybe... it wasn't a cannon either.

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
