hmm you got yours already??

Wonder when i get mine. So cant wait!!

Whos puttin it in for your emsta?? n for how much?

btw can you install these yourself? Any problems??

i've heard of a few guys with very little mechanical knowledge installing these themselves, it will be pretty easy, just a bit of a pain in the ass. Have to watch for broken bolts etc, and if they do break they'll need to be drilled out. Soak em in WD40 or something similar for a while beforehand to try and free them up.

Yeah, I went and picked it up from Michael after work. I will be getting RE Customs to fit it in along with the cat back I ordered from them. Spoke to michael, he said it shouldnt be too hard to fit the pipes on, as they are specifically made for the R32/33/34. I wanted to do it myself - but I think since Im doing the whole lot I will just get a professional fit. Plus I need to get my car serviced and the new turbo timer to be installed anyway.

So after all that, it should be running a turbo back exhaust: BATMBL s/steel split dump/front + catco 3 inch large cat + Trust Power Extreme 2 cat back :(

Edit - im expecting atleast a 20rwkw increase with the whole system. Michael estimates it to be more than that - but we will see. All I know is that the increase in this system, will be more than what I was told with the x-force (which would have been 10 - 15rwkw max)

EDIT Again - REcustoms said they will do it for 900 - that price includes the price for the cat back. I will have to show them the split dump/front and cat first though - incase they might require a bit more for the install.

shif_tea- sweet might give it a go then.

Emsta- ahh let us know how it goes when its all in. 900 sounds alright i guess.

hi guys

The first few pipes should be getting sent out toward the end of this week as they are being made as we speak (i dont have any stock atm, last pipe went to emsta). I have updated the list of the people whose payment has cleared in the second post of this thread. I will PM you each as your pipe gets sent out. All pipes should get sent out by end of next week, or hopefully earlier.

cheers

hi Guys

First 5 pipes went out today to the following people:

Zahos

Kozeyekan

shif_tea

blackbart

JaseR33

Next 5 or so will be Fri or Mon at the latest.

cheers

ill most likely be up for one. will they fit a non stock turbo? and what size are they? (please be 3 inch.. please be 3 inch)

cheers! james.

Mine came today and looks the goods.

So fresh, I can smell the sweet scent of mig welding.

Also, many thanks to batmbl on the packaging. Wrapped in bubble wrap, and coccooned in packing tape, that thing wasn't getting scratched or banged by even the most incompetant of delivery people.

Big thanks.

Highly recommended.

You will get significant power increase in the top range. Thats what i have heard from friends who have got spilt systems installed.. Also helps your engine breathe which is a bonus, so more air pushing out faster= more power..

I heard up to 15-25kw increase..

HMM i wonder when i get mine??

Hope you sent some out today.. Really want it this week lol..

cheers

Hi Michael,

Did ya manage to send em yesterday? sorry mate dont mean to seem pushy just trying to arrange for everything to be fitted .

Cheers

Lee

What sort of gains am I to expect if I get these installed? Is this a significant power up mod or just to put some icing on the exhaust cake

According to Michael there should be a significant increase - and hes right. There is a huge difference IMO. id estimate and say atleast 20rwkws - but i still need to dyno it once i get a couple of more mods on.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
