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.

Edited by (B1) MR_fanny

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
