yeh thats what i thought too, just lookin at a couple on ebay, there's one that is a 3"bellmouth design dump and front pipe in one for a 33 (which means it should fit my S2 ) i dont see what the advantage is of having a split dump pipe anyways, its all going into one pipe anyways?? :S

So...R33=S2 ,so Can I use let's say Apexi R33 front pipe and HKS split dump????????

Possibly, depends if it clears the firewall and floor-pan (angle of the bends will be somewhat critical here).

I suggest that it's much easier fitting-wise, and possibly cheaper, to go for a 1-piece front & dump pipe - 1 pipe from the turbo all the way back to the cat'. Apparrently the JustJap stagea bellmouth fits these days, and if you make sure to tell them series 1 or 2, and find out if you can return it if it doesn't fit, you should be pretty safe.

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I just have a few questions.

Has anyone had experience with the GKtech front/dump pipe combo?

I'm trying to decide between that and the JJR bellmouth one that I know a few people on here are running

I'll also be looking for a cat converter, I assume something like this would be fine?

Car is a S1 C34, and has a 3 inch catback system

Thanks guys

Brian,

I'd steer clear of that split front dump setup.... Just get the proven JJR front dump with catco cat. That split system I think will come awfully close to the firewall.

Yeah, that is something I would be concerned with too. I actually contacted Greg from GKtech a few months ago to see if it would fit and he couldn't guarantee that it would, as he hadnt had anyone use it on a Stagea apparently.

I think I'll just play it safe and go with the JJR option, unless anyone can confirm that the GKtech one will fit properly.

I'm running the JJR split front/dump, and no problems with firewall clearance (s2 c34). And huge gains in performance after going from stanard, but I also got 200 cell high flow metal cat and 3" stainless catback with connon from 32gtr.

Anybody running the 'GTR front pipes' from JJR on a 260RS??

Was contemplating buying a set and tesing it out, and if it doesnt fit sell to a GTR owner. Or just modify myself.

Bit of a trial and error I guess.

    • 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.
