you may be better getting it up on a hoist and have a welder handy as many of the dump pipes out there need a little tweeking to fit correctly. but if you know its going to fit then its not hard to attempt yourself, just do the usually exhaust things, spray a little WD40 or Inox on the bolts/nuts before removing them, and you may need to replace a gasket or two.

+1 on an easy job. and yeah let the car cool down for a few hours AT LEAST after you have driven it.

just make sure you line everything up before you completely tighten the bolt/nuts up because youll just have to go loosen it again when it doesnt quite line up :P

Its easy. Need an allen key for bellmouth bolts and an extra jack to hold the cat back section up. I could not get one of the allen head bolts in. It needed a bit ground off the head. It took about three hours, with stops for liquid sustenence.

I managed to do mine with one car ramp - drove the car up on the front passenger side wheel, chocked up the rears and worked from there. Safer than using a jack with stands. :laugh:

Bellmouth dumps are a snore to install, just make sure you've got plenty of arm stamina, a good ratchet set, grease, WD40 and good eyesight for lining everything up. When I was mating the dump to the cat I used bricks to take the weight of the cat-back section. :D

Did you get all the bolts in?

Just did a split-dump install on my series 2. I found it easiest to unbolt the dump pipe flange at the cat' and remove the turbo and dump as one unit... but that was because I was changing the turbo at the same time :) It was then pretty easy to bolt the dump to the turbo out of the car, and carefully re-insert the turbo & dump assembly from the engine bay.

Cat ended up angled down ever so SLIGHTLY and wouldn't quite mate with the first flange on the cat-back exhaust (at least not without putting more force on the dump to keep it straight than I was comfortable with). So I had an exhaust place make up a mild 3" cat-back system with mandrel bends and magnaflow oval mufflers :down: Very nice but very drony... loudest at 2k then it gets quieter???!

i did mine yesterday..... made me a little angry by the end of it but it was ok... start by getting rid of the heat sheild and drowning the bolts in inox... while there soaking take the cat out/off from the dump... slowly crack the bolts on the turbo... i was told to be carful as there obviously guna be fairly heat f**ked from there hard life.... i had trouble getting the 2 middle bolts in... theres like a rectangle shape that forms the bell mouth... and the 2 middle ones didnt go in very far on mine.. all in all i didnt notice alot of difference from having the 3" decat back, to adding the dump but ahwell

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
