I am chasing a split front / dump pipe for a 33 GTS-t :) , which i have found a few but don't know which one to go for or what to look for when it come's to these.

The 3 that i have found are:

BOS Importing - $420 http://bosimporting.com.au/components/com_...d98e35fd871.jpg

AM Performance (ebay) - $360

Just Jap - $269

I'm sorts leaning towars the AM or BOS one's as i have heard some not so nice stories about the Just Jap one.

Opinions and info would be great.

Same situation with hiflow cats as well.

I have the BOS Importing one. I think the design is very good. The construction (ie some of the welding / finishing) of it leaves a bit to be desired though, but nothing that would affect performance adversely.

i was in the same position not too long ago, after reading a few comments i decided to go with the BOS importing one, as i didnt have enough money to get it professionally installed i decided to give it a go my self, everything lined up 100% with no problems at all :(, the overall construction/welds on the split dump pipe was awsum and made a huge difference to my car, best mod iv bought yet ;)

I bought one of the JJR Stainless version for my R32 and the quality of the finish and welding is excellent.

Just Jap also guarantees the fit and warrants the product for 12 months.

Compared to the quality of the BOS versions that people posted in the thread recently, the JJR ones are MUCH better.

Check this thread for a good snapshot into peoples experiences with both the JJR and the BOS version

My 2 cents.

I don't like the wastegate merge point on the JJ or AM ones.

Bos importing looks fine. The CES dump pipe is also good BUT has a poor placement of the o2 sensor as the o2 sensors must be positioned upright.

been running full ces system for 2 years & had no dramas[good performance gains]

The CES is a top quality design according to their pics on the web site.

Does yours have the o2 sensor mounted upside down?

Apparently its a big no no for o2 sensors as water sits in them when upside down. I can't remember the exact specs but its supposed to be something like no more than 25-30degree's angle from upright.

Any fuel consumption problems? Getting more than 12-13L/100km's?

Sorry to high-jack your thread uras 33.

Is anyone using the 3" bellmouth style dump/front pipe from UAS?? if so what are your opinions on it, i am thinking of getting one very soon.

Definantely DONT go the CES. The wastegate pipe isn't even mandrel bent, it's crush bent. Looks all nice & shiny, but an engineering cockup from start to finish with the O2 sensor issue.

From memory, Bosch specifies that the sensor should be mounted above horizontal so that the section of piping it's on does not collect/drain water.

I do actually have a BOS dump, but got screwed over when he changed supplier. I had my cat back system custom made to fit on the dump I got from him only to have that crack. He sent me a replacement, but didn't fit the same & the exhaust sat twisted & at a different angle (not a good look with twin pipe). I've had a dodgy job done to get the new one to fit to my cat back. When I did some checks it turned out that the first dump had been set up wrong when compared to the original & the new one was correct. So I've spent $1400 on a stainless steel cat back exhaust system only to have to spend more money on it to make it fit right. Money I shouldn't have to spend, but since I sent the first one back I've heard shit. Before that he was talking about helping me out. Very pissed off.

I can say that the new type one does make good power (as you have seen before cubes), but I'm a bit wary of the quality of fitment.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
