The issue might be the angle or exact positioning of the bracket that mounts to the rear of the gearbox. My CES pipe has a different but relevant issue that comes from how it lines up with that mounting point. Basically being slightly off there gets carried down the line.

I suspect you will be able to make up an adapter out of a small piece of aluminium that will work to bring the whole thing own a little. There is a little flex in the whole thing so dont worry if you have to pull it down to get it to mount differently. For example, there are two holes so instead of lining up both you could line up the bottom gearbox mount hole with the top exhaust bracket hole and try that for starters.

thanks abo...... i fixed it today, it was hitting on the bracket bolted to the floor pan to stop the tailshaft hitting the ground in the event of failure, so i took the bracket off and elongated the holes and bolted it back up so it sits slightly higher now..... no noises at all anymore yay!!!

30 mins i find that hard to beleive....... anyways i got under the car this arvo and its not hitting up the front it is further down near the tailshaft centre bearing, its hitting the bracket that sits on top of the exhaust and under the tailshaft centre bearing. maybe pics would explain better. Any ideas on a fix????

No joke Ben :D Grey Imports fitted it up for me.

You do need to be weary when fitting any front pipe that when you are removing sections of the exhaust its possible to shift the rest of the system in the process which can result in the problems you have had.

As others pointed out its usually a case of trial and error and hanger/mount adjustment where applicable to get it spot on :D

hey blitz just out of curiosity what differences did u notice after having yours fitted???

Well, I had a hole in my original factory front pipe which sounded terrible, but once we fitted the new JJR pipe up the car generally sounds a whole lot smoother, with a nicer exhaust note and it seems to drive nicer also.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
