Hey guys.

Really new to the Skyline scene, although have been a Skyline lover since i was a child. Have finally got out of the VTEC Club and into the.. PSI Club :laughing-smiley-014:

Im joining the masses in the 97-8 R33 25-t area.

Anywho.. I havnt actually purchaced a Skyline yet, but as i always do, im building a stock pile. Already have an HKS High Power Silent on the way from Japan, via Nengun, and am going to order a few more bits later on. Front pipe, Apexi filter, and anything else that catches my eye :sick:

To complete the exhaust side of things im going to get myself an HKS Front pipe, some sort of de-cat/test pipe of the same diameter, and a split Dump pipe.

Basically, the question i pose is:

What do most peeps reccomend for a Split Dump pipe, and are there any out there that will bolt up to the HKS Front pipe without any modifications? As i am still new to turbos, i dont know wether the "good" branded aftermarket parts are designed as "Factory Replacements" and still bolt up to the rest of the OEM stuff.

The HKS Front pipe is described that it bolts to the factory turbo, but im assuming they actually mean the factory dump pipe?

So again, lets pretend right now i have a full HKS Exhaust, starting at the HKS Front pipe :rofl: Now what Split Dump Pipe do i need to hunt?

Hope its not too much for my 1st topic, as the search didnt answer my questions ;)

Thanks in advance. Look foward to your knowledge! :P

Most people use a 1 piece front/dump on gts-t's as its a simple and cost effective way of going about it. Are you sure the frontpipe you have ordered is not a front/dump combo?

This is the one.

I guess it is possible its a combo. But looking at others it doesnt appear so. Could be wrong tho!

Cost effectiveness isnt really my game :P Although cheap is good, i dont mnd spending the extra $ for high quality parts. I was considered a 'Mugen Whore" on NZHondas.com as i basically had the Mugen catalogue bolted to the Type R haha.

that looks like just a front pipe.. you'd want to get the dump pipe/ elbow for it... either HKS or Tomei. If you're after a one piece front/dump pipe, take a look at something like CES split dump if you want to spend money on a well made piece of gear that works well.

I cant seem to find actual HKS Split dump pipes, i can find "HKS Style" but not HKS lol. Random huh.

I will ask the supplier, but im assuming if it was HKS style then it would be produced off an HKS item, that in theory should bolt up to the HKS front pipe.. :worship: lol

Dont really mind if its one piece or two piece.

If you want a split dump I would go for CES. The HKS "style" has the wastegate pipe joining too close too soon to the main pipe. Otherwise, go for a single chamber like tomei

True. Never thought of that...

What about this:

Anyone used them? Direct bolt on to the cat.

Look pretty sweet.

- STOCK

And if it doesnt quite meet that.. IE it has a couple of mods.. then i guess ill get a little coin in return selling the stuff its already got :P

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
