just got one installed quite good quality only drama was it needed to be heat expanded as it was hitting the floor pan or whateva but i can feel the extra power, also the bov flutters too much, im getting a bit scared its gonna destroy the turbo or something one day... hehehe (*thinks hi-flow*) anyone else had to do this? or has no one tried the jjr front/dump pipe

Heat expanded? Sounds like the fitter didn't know what they were doing.

There have been several members now that have fitted these on R33's and R32's with no complications

This has been covered in 3 threads already - When removing the factory front pipe to fit any aftermarket unit you need to check the alignment of the rest of the exhaust system when its all back together and adjust as needed as its common that you shift the rear section of the exhaust during fitting so the hangers and mounts move which can cause the system to knock around a little

fitted to my car perfectly. 33 25t s2. didnt need any bending on my own, pretty much just fit first go

only hard parts, getting hte dammed heat shields of and re-bolting the t3 flange was a much smaller mission

it didnt clear the floor pan properly, it was rubbing and hitting it...hence it needed to be fixed through heating....but the fitters were advan so i doubt they didnt know what they were doing...lol...i probably had a deformed one LOL 1/10000000 lol either that or because i didnt take just japs advice and get a high flow cat at the same time lol

I got the whole turbo back system from JJ and it came with X Force hi flow cat, so in theory it should be an easy job right?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
