yeah coating for sure. wrapping is ok, but you can get moisture trapped between the wrap and the pipe which is not good. also when you put it on, if you dont wear gloves, and then take a slash afterwards your nuts will be itchy for a fair while. this alone is reason enough to spend the dough on the coating (or wear gloves...lol) and yes I speak from experience on this.

lol.. Worse than deep heat on (or near) the nuts? :ninja:

What is the cost difference? and where would you get the ceramic coating done?

Not trying to be to much of a tight arse here but i do all the work to my own car and considering the stock 34 dumps aren't that bad and it is a pain in the arse to remove/fit new ones, would the stock dumps be fine with the right exhaust up to about the 300 r(a)wkw mark???

We fit trust dumps over the weekend to my 32 gtr.

alot of modification of the front pipe had to be done. cut down and re welded as they wernt quiet right. we also modified the rear of the trust front pipe section to 3.5 inch instead of the 3 inch flange it had on it.

Other than that i am very happy with them. bit of a f**k around. i also bought mine second hand. And had a whole exhaust shop to play in while installing them so things wernt that bad!

i think i will go back and weld on some support bars tho. we didnt quiet get around to this.

Andrew, your‘s weren't the 32 ones though were they? I thought from memory you bought some second hand that were for a 33 or 34.

and yeah, I think for 300kw the R34 dumps will be "ok" but of course some aftermarket ones would be better, but it wont be a major problem.

yeah i dont think mine were for 32. but we cut up the front pipe anyway at the weld just on the merge of both, so they were a little modified. mine dont have flex pipe either. and finally my exhaust doesn't scrape!

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
