they are made to bolt on to the stock turbo all the way to the cat. so if you order the r34 gtt pipe, it will fit your stock turbo and if you were to high flow it later, it will still bolt on then without an issue. ive put your name in the list :laugh:

cheers

quick question. whats everyone paying to get it installed + cat? i went to a place that works with both turbo'd and hotrods that quoted $100-150ish for a job done properly and not rushed. then i went to a garage that works with imports that quoted $60. for some reason i trust the expensive place more.

anyone still using their existing gasket or are you guys replacing it??

Got mine today! Looks good - everything I expected. I'd leave trader feedback but cant work out how to do it? It seems not to be working at the moment.

EDIt - cancel that I worked it out, positive feedback left.

Yep got my dump and cat today looks mint, shinier than any other part on my car lol, and its going underneath the bloody thing.

I think i am going to install it myself.

I got mine fitted for about $50 i think (i could be wrong) - if you are in Vic, get RE Customs to do it - they did a good job on mine (ordered the cat back through them as well).

i guess i got ripped pretty badly then. ah well. the heat shield can be put back on right? cause they didnt put it back on for me. also is anyones pipe touching what i assume to be the heater pipe going into the cabbin?

Yes mine as well..

I recommend heat wrapping the whole pipe before summer hits, as it might even melt that aircon pipe and also the sound deadendin stuff under the car, as the pipe sits like 1mm under..

I didnt put my heatsheild back on.. Would it affect the temps in summer? Obviously it would, but would it damage anything?? esp the turbo?

I had to replace my gasket as well..

yeah i had my heat wrap from the old pipe ready to go but the exhasut guy said itll kill the pipe making rust and crack. but looking at my old pipe it was rusting on the horizontal parts where i assume the water builds up during condensation. the end connecting to the dump was fine so im thinking maybe just heatwrap the top end of the dump and wastegate pipe.

Well its only the wastegate pipe touchin the aircon pipe, so i will just heat wrap that i guess.

Dont think theres a need to wrap the whole pipe right, due to what you said above.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
