Hello,

I know a little bit about skylines, ive owned one for a few years but one thing i dont know and havent been able to check for awhile is about the dump pipe.

I was thinking about buying one of those dump + front pipe in one which is one pipe 3" mandrel bent but i wont to know is that all i need for the standard turbo? or do i need a split dump pipe for the wastegate aswell?

For standard upgrade applications the bell mouth version is fine. You will not notice a difference between split and bell. But the price JJR have on those splits is pretty low, so its not a bad buy at all. The only problem you may have is like a friend of mine who bought one of the ones pictured and he had to grind back the separating flap to make it fit, apart from that it was fine though.

whats that pipe? How do you call that? and how much is that? It looks good!

thats a dump/front pipe, goes from your turbo to your cat. My bro bought one for $280, not bad at all. Looks good and i like it better than the old small split dump (which is like 15cm long) then you have to get a seperate front pipe.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
