Should be getting my exhaust soon and was wondering if it is necessary for wastegate integration as part of the system.

If there is no wastegate integration is there a chance of blowing the turbo up and has the stock exhaust got this integration.

Dont really know what Im talking about so please let me know.

But with a wastegate pipe it improves............ the flow and reduces turbulence just after the turbine

turbulence i s the disruption of air ... if you have turbulence, then the air flow is not linear, and if the air isn't all going one way at the same time, you'll have a reduction in the flow and and increase in restriction

I recently got my dump pipe done and its been a fantastic improvement. I went with a single pipe with a really wide opening at the top. Having had a look at the standard pipe its obvious how much better this is. The stock one on the 32 has a cast iron flat section just about blocking the wastegate area off... its horrible.

A larger single pipe is probably enough for most people. And theres little guarantee it will be better if you buy one with a separate wastegate pipe. This is because it may rejoin too early or too late causing similar turbulence issues within the system.

You'll see improvements either way, however the difference between the 2 styles of dump pipes probably cant be felt on an arse dyno (only a real one).

I'm geting my exhaust done next week. I pikd up a exhaust housing gasket, $20 and have since taken to my exhaust guy. He is going to weld up a new plate and incorporate in a seperate wastegate dump.

the dump off the back of the turbo will be a rapid increase to 3', the wastegate pipe will be 1"1/2. The exhaust guy has recently done something similar to another GTST, but the wastegate pipe entered the system down near the cat convertor.

My question is - "is this TOO far back? I know the further back the better. But we are talkin about 1 - 1.5m here".

"should I also thermal wrap any of the dump pipe???"

btw full 3" zorst turbs bak with hi flo cat and rear muffy etc etc..

tks.....

opposed to GTS-t VSPECs whos comes in at a right agle :)

Whether apart of the normal exhaust or a seperate screamer pipe, that joins back into the main exhaust at any section, or not at all.. wont hurt your turbo..

Id say the ultimate is an exhaust dump, one pipe with a secondary wastegate screamer which never enters back into the main pipe. Thats my next goal when the exhaust comes off..again.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
