Dose pipe is a metal pipe between the AFM and the turbo inlet. This pipe helps flutter sound louder with no enhancement. Wank factor

Screamer pipe is the wastegate gasses escaping to atmosphere rather than into the exhaust. On a very highly boosted engine may show some advantages (not sure on this) but just creats very loud whooooshing sound... again, bit of wank factor

Note: the description of wank factor is my opinion, others may like it :)

Mate.

It's not called a DOSE PIPE.

Its just a Cold Air Intake pipe. Nothing special.

You arent a VL CALAIS TURBO owner buddy.

Just go to any exhaust place or Performance shop and they should have some 3" stainless pipe you can buy and a silicon hose for your inlet pipe.

Yeah go to any exhaust place and they can make them up, theres nothing wrong with metal intake pipes......there def a good upgrade because they replace the stock rubber intake pipe which can get sucked close with higher boosted cars and anyways you only get the flutter sound if you block the bov or don't run one at all.

if you want to do stuff like that go and see mark at exhaust technology screamer pipes are loud and dont really work on R33 but for R33 you could just get a extearnal waste gate it sounds sort of the same

does the cold air intake/hot pipe enhances ur air flow? because the stock rubber one is not as good say as a stainless steal pipe?

i wouldn't say enhance, but the steel would be better because it doesn't restrict your air intake by sucking in like the rubber does. same shit for low boost cars though.

there's always the silicone type: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t176294.html

and if you're going to block the bov to get the 'dose', you're probably going to have idle probs too.

get a proper bov imo.

Screamers are only good with an external wastegated turbo and they are sexual trust me.

2nd that call......

I've heard screamer pipes on an internally gated turbo and they sound shiate....Sound like a big exhuast leak

yo bud :D

set up properly a 'screamer pipe' on internal wastegate can sound the same as a 'screamer pipe' which is the pipe used off a external gate, the reason y external gates are used are because the turbos they are used on have to big a exhaust wheel in the turbo housing there for there is no room for a internal gate in the housing. also ppl run gates as there controller big HP drag cars in japan dont run boost controller just a certain 'wieght' spring in their external gates, bu like shane said there alot of the cheap bolt on screamers thats sound like a wet fart or excel :P

I think what Dan was meant to say, is screamer pipes sound good when there is no exhaust leak.

It doesn't matter if its internally gated or not, for the sound to be isolated you need an external waste gate or a better split dump pipe. you can buy the appropriate dump pipe for about 400 dollars and it sounds identical to a ext. gated one.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
