if it further helps ontop of boosted_r32's comment... i had a set of xforce extractors on my civic... and they fit perfectly.

Everything was perfect from O2 sensor location to original bracket locations.

and the difference they made... well worth money spent! im sure the dumps are gonna be just as good!

How hard is it to fit dump pipes yourself?? Whats involved?

Hoist

Lots of tools

Full day if you've never done it before

You gotta pull the rear dump etc off, then the rear turbo, then the front dump, put the dump on and re-assemble.

You can do it on a trolley jack, but it takes forever as you have to go from over/under the motor on many occasions.

Simply put, if your not a good hands-on person, a GTR dump swap out is a workshop job as it’s a fair mongrel of a job.

Once you've done it a few times you can peg it back to a few hours, but you wont do it in a few hours off the bat IMO

Im about to put my turbos back on with X-force dumps. Thing is.. it doesnt look like my exhaust pipe from the dumps to the cat will line up with the x-force at all.

Anyone else have this prob?

Im pulling off stock turbs with stock dumps and the pipe is a 3-inch something or other. I assume its also stock

to r31 gagz, were you running stock or aftermarket dumps?, and are adj cam gears more worthwhile than cams?i want close to what you have on a safe tune...oh and were you using power fc d-jetro, or just normal? we got a good tuner here,and im about to buy an aftermarket ecu....

thanks.

im currently changing my dump in my gtr as well. however i couldnt get it right. the problem is when i compare the stock front and rear dump pipe, they are in fact not the same shape. but the stainless pair i have just bought is in the same shape. the stainless pair is identical. does this sound right? or are they supposed to be different in shape (the aftermarket ones)? the problem im facing now is the rear dump pipe is in the way of the gearbox housing.

when i look closer to the stock manifold i can see that they are not the same too. is that right? if yes does that means im having this problem now becoz i put the rear manifold on the front and vise versa?

plz help guys. any info would be appreciated. thanks :)

well you are half right. dump pipes are different front to rear but the manifolds are the same. If both dump pipes are the same there is a problem.

I had a really crap set of ebay pipes recently that also fouled on the gearbox. very frustrating they were on and off about 5 times to be modified, grinding the end off studs, bashing the wastegate pipe to clear the rear intake etc etc.

    • 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.
