Yeh i was thinking it wouldn't make a big difference. I'm gonna stick with a split dump. Just wanna pick a good all rounder.

Thanks mate, i'm interested. If it's a great bit of kit then its a steal. I need convincing cheaper=better :)

Yeah its a pretty good price, so ill have a good inspection of it before it goes on.

I always thought that x-force stuff wasnt the greatest, iv seen a set of their headers, and shit. The S/S is paper thin!! Build quality looks great tho, and in this case, the x-force is more expensive. We will see.

Got mine from bos importing.

http://www.bosimporting.com.au

I ordered one from there and they delivered an AM Performance one so you might wanna call them and see if they can do one for you. I'd recommend this pipe, had a mild tanabe cat-back on before the front/dump and hi-flow cat went in. Is very quiet at idle and when you give it some stick, opens up and has that wicked raw RB sound :P

Hey,

Got my Split Dump/Front from JustJap earlier this week and went about attacking it at home.

The build is really good, the photos on the page dont do it any justice (hint.. change them :) )

So anyway.. my thoughts.

The two problems i encountered, although minor, now i figured out what i need to do means unbolting it again.

1st problem, is one of the bottom nuts on the flange wouldnt fit. The pipe is fat, and bends qucikly out of the flange stealing the room needed to put the

nut back on. Silly me bolted it up anyway thinking id get a mte to fix it ;)

Lying in bed.. DOH, if i had the nut in place on the flange while sliding it on, it would have worked. So simple fix, but being bolted up it means i have to do

it again :) I didnt get any exhaust leaks, so ill wait till i get on a hoist. Its a pain using the scissor jack and stands haha.

Problem 2, is the wastegate pipe touches the turbo water feed.

It not ony touches it but you actually have to push it up to get the dump pipe to fit. In turn, pushing it up also pushes it against the manifold shield.

A quick solution is bending it out the way, i did try this, but f**k me that line is strong! And i dont want to break it off the turbo personally.

Again i will get my mate to have a play as he is RB king. Might even replace it with a braided line so i can put it where i see fit.

It will be ok temporarily, but constant rubbing and vibration it will eventually wear through.

Sorry about the asshat image. My camera is odd sometimes.

As i suspected i didnt feel a great deal of difference. It sounds a bit cleaner than it used to on boost. And for the price, its great :D

I'm using the batmbl (bosimporting) split dump + front and its a good piece of gear.

If you compare the wastegate piping with the JJR one and the batmbl one you can see that the JJR one has a pretty tight 90degree bend in it whereas the batmbl one has a gentler bend.

Probably wouldn't make TOO much of a difference at said power levels but either way, straighter piping would flow better.

Not criticising anyones pipes , I like the idea of a dump pipe that bolts to the engine pipe because with the 3 bolts/nuts removed you could very likely lift the turbo and dump pipe out as an assembly .

These Hitachi turbos are pretty tight around the dump fasteners and it would make life easy to fit and remove them on the bench . Once the turbo/dump is on the engine fitting the engine pipe up should be same as std .

Just my thoughts , cheers A .

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
