Hi guys,

I bought a just jap hard pipe kit for my GTR and am having some problems getting the first pipe on. It doesn't seem to fit. Has anyone else hard this problem???

When i put the silicon part just over the lip of the pipe at both ends it is also considerably shorter than the standard pipe(about 2-3cm. Is it possible that they gave me a another GTR's pipe instead???

Here are some pics of the installation as close to getting it clamped properly as i could. It works as long as you don't make boost and then it pops of.

So i'm just after other peoples experience as this doesn't seem like the right fit.

The logical solution would be to give them a call and if there is a problem they will fix it up for you.

From your pictures it looks like a case of poor installation to me.

They are exactly the same as the HKS hard pipe kits and are a perfect fit, several people on this forum are using them.

Yeah i will call them now but i just wanted to make sure that it should be a perfect fit.

Yeah the installation was bad because the pipe did not reach properly.

yeah i used one on cats car with no issues.

Yeah i rang them up and they told me i had a 33/34 pipe.

Is it only the one pipe that is different or all of them??? Just so i don't have to bring the everything back when i don't have to.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
