got mine yesterday...

didn't come by registered though just normal post.. not that i care because it arrived :D

having it installed friday hopefully...

will let eveyone know a comparison to how it was with the 3" bellmouth previously

got mine on last night. lined up perfect thanks again mic. got a nice whistle note to the exhaust now and got an extra 1.1 psi boost increase when running 9 psi. used to peak at 8.8 now at 9.9 psi so be carefull if your running higher boost :D

got mine fitted today, sounds a lil louder than usual, thou i dont have a cat back yet...

The dude charged me 190 bucks, i think i was ripped off badly, oh well its on now, he had to add like another inch of pipe cause it wasnt fully connected up, so i donno how that works out... Neways still very happy with it and it looks great!

maybe coz you got a 4 door car, so the lenght of the exhaust should be longer?? to connect to the cat??

Hmm 190 seems ok.. If the bolts snapped off or something then they charge more. its basically all labour. Took me 3 hours or so.. Or i think it was 4..

But still need to take it out again and heat wrap it..

What do u guys use to heat wrap it?

I was just about to bring this up - have people done it or not?

went down to autobarn and they sell some - looked a little dodgy though and $20 for like ~5m. Is it really needed as Ill Ive heatwraped up id the larger of the spilt pipe all the way down to where the smaller pipe joins the bigger one.

So should I spend another 20 and get it all wrapped up?

yeh i think it is cause i got a 4 door, the length would be a tad longer... but yeh i suppose i have no complaints over the installation, better payin a lil more for it to be working fine than paying less for it to stuff up

Well depends if you need to heat wrap it..

Mine is touching the aircon pipe.. The aircon pipe contains gases. SO think about. The pipe touch the aircon pipe in summer with high temps for long periods of time. Sooner or later its just gonna melt that pipe or make a hole. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

But if your wastegate pipe (the smaller pipe) doesnt touch the aircon pipe then it should be fine i guess..

Should be about 50 bucks for a decent quailty one tho.. Any exhaust shops should have them.

Im gonna heat wrap mine up b4 summer really hits. So most likley mid sept. Or i might have to relocate that air-con pipe.

Keep you posted i guess when i get mine done.

Got mine fitted today, car is alot more responsive to say and the topend has picked up quite abit too.

Just wondering though: did anybody else have their wastegate split pipe VERY close to the gearbox? Mine is actually TOUCHING at the moment but the dump flange lines up with the turbine perfectly. Theres no rattles and bangs when driving at all, but I'm still abit paranoid - can anybody confirm this is ok? Michael?

Thanks,

Andy

got mine fitted yesterday

previously i had the 3" bellmouth and ran 14psi to make 155rwkw

with the 3" split, i ran 13psi to make 170rwkw :rolleyes:

that's 15rwkw at 1psi less! dyno graphs to prove if anyone needs...

oh, and the split pipe runs on the opposite side to the gearbox on the rb20.. mine almost touches some aircon lines but they are insulated so its all ok..

OnGsTa,

Check the pipe to see if it has any indentations at the point that its touching. it will most likely not be a problem because the R34 dump & front pipe is bolted not only at the turbo flange but also has a bracket that that gets bolted to the car just before the cat, so there will be no movement/friction against the box.

WazR32GTSt,

Thats a great difference! Thank you for sharing that information :rolleyes:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
