more questions: is it nescesary to hpc coat a SS front pipe? [or any other heat treatment?] I was hoping to just bolt it straight on - given the fact that the turbo is stock and only a mild 10psi of boost [factory is 8psi] - will temps be okay without heat treatment?

Thanks guys!

Hey Guys,

Hope this doesn't sound like real stupid question but how much of a difference will a dump pipe really make? If you had an Apexi N1 front pipe bolted up to a standard dump pipe, would you notice any power gains if you fitted a larger dump pipe?, even having the front pipe on alone?

Also what do you think is better doing in that case, getting a dump & front pipe combo, or having an Apexi N1 front pipe and then getting a custom dump pipe or somthing like a hks dump pipe?

Thanks men,

Gianni

Hello go to www.flyn.com.au they have them there for $280, they also have cat's, exhausts and other high performance stuff.

I like the look of this dump & front pipe combo turbomad! Do you recomend this mob coz they look like they know there stuff and by looking at the pic of the combo dump & front pipe, it looks like it's been constructed very well! Would you know if this dump/front pipe will bolt straight up with no hassles meaning it won't rumble on the floor pan or be touching the fire wall making a racket?

It shouldn't make a difference if I have an Apexi N1 cat back system would it?

Regards,

Gianni

I've PM'd him so hopefully will find out what's going on....if that deals gone tho, JMS have SS dump pipes for $350:

or combined dump front pipes for $325:

[doesn't say whether they're SS tho...probably not].

I was really after the cat too

Just noticed that on the first link you posted Steve http://www.japanesemotorsport.com.au/partsinstock.htm, they also have these:

"New stainless front pipes to suit Skyline R32-33

and SR20 S13, S14, S15 silvia/180SX ~ $350" See pic below.

So dont worry about the MS for $325 - spend the extra $25 :mad:

This price for an SS front pipe was similar to batmbl's I think! [if you cant get it anymore].

I am still trying to figure out if all the 32/33 front pipes will fit my car, any takers? Please!

Hey turbomad and SeriesIIGTST,

sounds like a good idea buying the dump/front pipe from Flyn Performance! I would really like to hear from the two of you on what your thought's are on the quality of these pipes you bought and how well they bolt up to factory spec's and perform!

Should be very Interesting! As soon as I get some money together I think I'll have to join you guys!

By the way SeriesIIGTST, did you also buy the dump/front pipe combo? What I really want to know is if you have an Apexi N1 cat back exhaust with standard cat, will this combo dump/front pipe bolt straight on to a 3" high flow cat with the N1 bolted to the rear of the cat and then the combo dump/front pipe bolt straight onto the turbo housing with no troubles? sounds like a bit of a mouth full hey!

All the best guy's and hope to hear from you soom in regards to how good the combo pipes are you purchased from Flyn Performance,

Regards,

Gianni

Its not so much a power gain you get with a dump pipe but rather a shifting of the power somewhat. The turbo comes on boost alot earlier meaning your getting alot more midrange power with not alot of gain at the top.

So your dyno chart might not show much difference in terms of the peak number, but it will look alot fatter in the middle, which is where you want it.

Of course theres no point putting the dump on if youve still got the standard front pipe. You could do the front pipe before the dump but the gains wouldnt be anywhere near as good as having both the dump+front.

Since putting the dump on my 32 I would say the turbo is hitting full boost close to a thousand rpm earlier. Bottom end on the RB20 has been beefed up significantly. Before it felt a bit choked.

Gianni,

Sorry dude, I don't have an N1 front pipe so I can't really help you. I ordered the one piece dump/front pipe which, with any luck, will cleanly bolt onto my cat and my turbo without modification.

Will keep you informed as it happens...

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
