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.

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

Hey Simon, is there any clearance issues with these AM jobbies? After seeing slight problems with just jap ones bit hesitant. im from Ad's so i dont mind checkin this out. Ne help is appreciated mate

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 .

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
