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.

Because when i buy a car i ususally take a checklist with me for what i want :P

- STOCK

- Black

- 50-70K km

- 5 spd

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

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
