The custom SS split dump on my 240Z has been wrapped for 5 years and still looks like new - and has no cracks. Having said that, the mild-steel dump that I used to have on my MR30 Skyline was rusted beyond repair after 4 years.

This is not surprising of course. I would seek a metalurgists perspective on this, but I'd rather repair/replace a $200 dump every 10 years than lunch the engine after a major coolant leak, or melting something important (like the battery on my Z!)

If you don't want to wrap the pipe, at least consider shielding adjacent components. Exhaust systems will melt paint - wiring & hoses are long gone by that point!

Soooooo, I was just about to order a JJR bell mouth front & dump pipe next week, and my friendly local speed shop phones me and say they have a 3" mild bell mouth (HPC coated) dump and front from a R32 for me for $125. I know it'll fit my turbo but can people see any fitment issues? I'm a welder by trade so I can slice and dice and weld where I have to to get a perfect fit, and it's $100 cheaper than a new mild bell mouth from JJR by the time I pay for delivery.

Thanks in advance, Greg.

the JJR is a multifit item for what its worth...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
