Hey Guys,

Im about to go out and replace the factory dump/front pipe and cat converter to some aftermarket items.

Just wondering, is it essential to get my car on a dyno once they have been installed. Ive had a few people say that it might jack the boost levels up a little bit a throw the Air to Fuel ratios out.

Does anyone know what effect this upgrade has on a R34 GTT?

Oh yeah i currently have a 3" stainless steel Cat Back system and am putting on a liverpool exhausts 3" Front pipe and a high flow cat.

Hi - I too have an R34 GTT and did this just a few weeks ago, no need to put it on the dyno. It didnt really increase the boost it was getting to (it seemed to be getting to about 8 - 8.5psi, but I think this might have been also due to the 3" cat back I already had, which you also already have).

It does make it come onto boost quicker though, which is good :wave: It's a pretty good upgrade, when you see the stock dump pipe you will see why! Makes the car sound a lot better too. I used one of the Bosimporting split dump / front pipes and Catco 5" metal cats.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
