Hey,

I was looking at fitting a split one, and a reputable brisbane exhaust place quoted me $400 fitted for a custom mild steel split front/dump. This sounds like an ok price (correct me if im wrong).

Obviously its a no branded one, but these guys have been in the busines for ages so ud think theyd know what their doing. Anything i should be wary off and look out for?

Also i may replace the cat at the same time. what should i look for in a cat apart from bein 3" and high flow?

THe other option is to get front dump pipe from the forums (i.e justjap ones for $250 and fit them).

You could get the just jap one and fit it yourself. Cheaper and plus it'll be stainless.

Bit of a pig to fit but definitely do-able. Get a mate to give you a hand and it'll be much easier.

A lot of money can be wasted in paying for labour. Fit most things yourself and you'll save heaps of money.

stainless doesnt really bother me to be honest. think mild steel will last for quite some time.

Yeh since i have the factory gear on there some of the bolts can be a bitch to get off, if not snap. So I dont mind paying the extra to get it fitted.

I guess my question is whether all split dump pipes are equal, and whether there is any proof that the bos one for example which is closer to 500 bucks, has any noticable difference. Anything i should mentioned when they make the front/dump. I read somewhere that the join should be as far back as possible to minimise turbulence of air from the two pipes.

My 32 is pretty standrd with simple bolt ons and running 0.75 boost.

Yeah me too. I got a mild steel exhaust.

As far as differences go, you'd have to run back to back dyno runs with the different pipes. I don't think anyones done that.

As you said also, the join should be as far back possible to avoid turbulence. Make it that way to be safe.

Also make sure they make an allowance for the O2 sensor, but they should know that.

It'll be a good idea to go for a 3" cat too if you don't have one.

I have the Batmbl Group Buy split dump on the R33GTST, works fine. I recommend wrapping with Thermo Wrap, it makes a noticeable difference to the under bonnet heat. I used to use Magic cats, but I tried a Catco (also Batmbl Group Buy) on the Stagea and it works well.

:pirate: cheers :ph34r:

i bought my dump/split pipe 2 weeks ago and will be attempting to put it on this week the only thing I am concerned about is if i snap a bolt off the back of the turbo. Would I have to then unbolt the turbo and get a new bolt or are the welded into the turbo??

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
