Recommended Posts

SoFly,

The bulk of the parts were delivered yesterday evening and many will get sent out midday tomorrow. You will get your items on Friday since you are in Sydney. Anyone thats not in Sydney will likely get their items on Monday onwards. Most pipes/cats will be sent tomorrow, and some on Friday and Monday next week. I will update the list tomorrow regarding which member's parts were sent out and continue to update it until all have been sent.

Thank you all for being so patient.

cheers guys

any1 have trouble fittin the r34 split pipes? the end where it connects to the cat curves up too much, it lifted my catback too high and its grinding on the body of my cat........needed to cut that curve section off and rewelded a straight pipe instead of curvy

hi guys,

I apologise for the delay in getting the rest of the pipes/cats out early this week. Its been a nightmare getting them to me since they are being made one by one interstate and the delivery of these parts will come in one hit. Ive been promised delivery of all the remaining pipes and cats in the GB tomorrow (should have been monday!!!), so i will get them all packaged and sent out on Thursday and update the list on the 2nd post of this thread. Again i apologise for the inconvenience this causes to some.

cheers

Yes same problem with mine (R34 sedan). Very snug fit but tilts up too much at the cat end and flang touches heat shield where cat sits. Also the rear bracket is slighly off and only one hole aligns. Will it make a difference if this heat sheild is removed? Or is it recommended to keep this shield behind the cat only??

But is does look like it will fit when this problem is fixed.

Also snapped off top bolt in turbo exhaust manifold :D any suggestion how to remove this without removing the turbo to do so??

Help appreciated. :D

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post that I got a stainless split front/dump and metal cat from Michael a few months ago in one of the other group buys. Finally fitted it on Friday.

Very impressed, there has been a noticable increase in power, it spools louder and it seems that there is none of the choking at high rpm like before (used to feel like the engine was struggling to breath at high rpm)

Installed easily, only two issues - needed to go and buy new bolts for the cat - as the r32 gtst cat bolts are studs with threaded holes. and had to replace one of the bolts that goes into the turbo with a shorter bolt, as i couldnt fit the original one back in as the wastegate pipe was in the way. Other than that easy as install...

hmm... i've finally paid for my split pipe, not too keen on this "not fitting quite right" business :P

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
