Give Kermit a call. He'll do it for cheaper than that, but its still expensive. Taking off the dump is tedious work. Thats why its expensive. Its because you have to really take your time taking out the bolts. Lots of WD40 involved. If you snap them, which can easily happen, its a real bitch.

Just do the whole lot. You'll want in done later anyway. Seriously give Kermit a call. It will be a lot cheaper than Tommy says if Kermit does it. He does awesome prices and really good work. Give him a call for sure.

Unless your not planning on changing your current turbos for a long time, wait til you upgrade turbos to do dumps.

Otherwise you'll be spending that $500-$1K in labour twice.

As said previously, front pipes are easily done, any exhaust shop can do it for around $100 (i had front pipes + catback changed for $80)

i do plan on upgrading the turbos sometime in the future so i guess the dumppipes will have to wait, i dont see the point of installing the same parts twice and spending half a "k" doin it...well cheers for the info guys

Are you guys serious? GTR's are a turbo-out job to replace the dumps?

That sux!

33R & 34R dumps are better than the 32R ones(apparently), so you probably wouldn't notice the difference til you upgrade turbos anyway.

I'm hoping the previous owner of my GTR in Japan swapped the 34R dumps over when he put the 34R turbos on :D

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
