Does anyone know the pipe diametre of the Tomei dumps where they connect to the front pipe? And the distance between the bolt holes (centre to centre). I need to know if it will fit up to my aftermarket Do-Luck exhaust i have waiting at home for my turbo swap.

ummm merli. unless you are attaching them to the air purifier in your M3 then I think you have some splaining to do.... :D

confess me your sin brother.

Quick!!! Delete delete delete!!!

<waves hand in front of BB's face>

Merli: M3's need dump pipes too...

BB: :D:):O .............................. Hey mate.. Have you ever thought about buying some dump pipes for your car?

Merli: Yes young padwan....

I have Tomei dumps also.

I used those Trust long front/dump combo pipes before and wont do that again.

HKS are good looking dumps too.

i curious to know why wont use the trust pipes again?

personally i'd rather the trust pipes compared to the hks however.. if i had my way i'd prolly go tomei's but than again i dunno.. wat size are the tomei pipes?

your jedi tricks are powerless on me andrew. I can smell that empty space in your wallet a mile away. good to see you back in a cheap yet stupidly expensive car. :D

syslink, don't know if it was me that said that, but yes it is true. keeping the heat in the pipe does fatigue it. but it's good for performance in a few ways. it can be bad on mild steel especially as the wrap can retain moisture and cause the pipe underneath the rust out. as for whether or not it's a good idea, it's a 50/50 call. I have done it before though. ceramic coating is better but costs more.

the tomei pipes are far bigger than the HKS ones. the HKS outlet it only around 60-65mm the tomei one is 75mm maybe even a touch bigger. the HKS ones are also not finished very nicely inside. the tomei ones are finished very well.

the trust ones are good, but again, not finished all that well inside. plus they are very heavy, and hard to fit, and expensive. I think that is why sewid went tomei this time.

hey thanks for info just picked up a set of tomei for $800NZ, how much are these pipes worth in australia, over in nz they are between $850-$1000NZ......(new)

That's about right.

What's that?........................ about.................... AUD$3.30?

I put trust pipes on mine. Mine were very well finished off inside, but I got them modified so I could bolt the turbo support on to them like the factory ones. And I had the engine out of the car (and they were still a pain to fit), but I recon they're great.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
