I fitted one to my beast the other week and had my brother help me out, we had no hoist, just car stands and it took around 2 hours to pull off the old system and slap in the new one few beers to kill some time aswell.

Only problem we had was that 1 of the nuts that fit to the turbo cannot be put on due to the size and curve of the pipe bottom nut hits the pipe no chance of it going on, we used all 3 gaskets and did them tight drive it for awhile and retightend them and no leeks yet.

As for the sound it was a big notice from standard did seem loud in the cab but outside it was a reasonable level dosn't seem to be cop bait to me. Performance was huge mid range torque massive now have no traction in first gear and second and is only running on around 5 cylinders as faulty coil packs, so dont notice high boost that much as it farts and pops wont rev. Got my car not long ago from Japan and seems to be stock all bolt-ons are except for my Apexi pod.

I will try to change my phone format as I have a video of the sound on that.

Definately recommend getting one.

i just installed the front dump and am very happy with it.

not too loud at all, infact much quiter than the old catback system at idle (not at high revs tho)

car runs much harder

you have no traction in 1st and second gears? only due to an exhaust upgrade and only running on 5 cylinders too. . .? i call bullsh.t! :nyaanyaa::domokun:

if ya want akeenan i will take ya for a strap, oohhh by the way it does have an Nismo ECU :blink: , doin some 80 corners the other day at 140 (I know shouldn't) top end of 3rd and started to loose the traction crappy tyres i guess.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
