Hey guys, was wondering if someone could shed some light.

What are the options for MILD STEEL dump pipes only? I cant seem to find anything at all. For stock turbo might i add.

Currently have the stock dump pipe bolted to a 3" HKS front pipe. So im not after a front/dump combo.

Will i be better off having something custom made?

Im about to get it tuned, and according to the SAU gurus, theres alot to be gained over the stock restrictive dump pipe so wanted to get it done before the AFR tidy up with SAFC2.

Thanks alot.

Why does it have to be mild steel?

Plenty of one, two piece and one piece split dumps in the trader section, all bolt up to the standard turbo, mine is a one piece split dump from jjr and im very happy with it.

grab a JJR and cut off the second half, or sell the HKS front pipe

So i might as well just get one made? Dont want to sell the HKS front pipe, as the good stuff doesnt sell here. Everyone in NZ wants the good shit for the cheap shit price.

The reason i want mild steel is because i have already had a JJR stainless split front/dump combo. Had nothing but trouble with boost spiking even after modding so the wastegate flapper opens properly. And apon removal, the stainless stripped my 02 sensor thread and it took 4 hours to remove from the turbo with a gas torch. Not willing to try the stainless route again unless it is a high quality item and not cheap stainless.

What is regarded as good quality stainless? Im not sure what the numbers and grades mean.

if you already have the HKS front pipe then you might as well get the HKS dump that will bolt up straight to it with no mods required at all.

Id get one if i could scource a genuine HKS dump pipe. How can you tell if it is actually genuine? And who stocks them? Struggling!

could check out the GKTECH dumps? i got a split dump/front combo and they are two seperate pieces.

Thanks dude, just looked at their website and they dont look bad. Any problems with boost spike on the stock turbo? I dont want to go down that route again!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have heard people mention those problems, i must have been lucky or maybe they work better with the vg30 rear housing i have.

AM Performance make a range of high quality, locally made, performance split (return or screamer) or bellmouth style dumps. all are made out of stainless (not 304 which is shit) and is guarenteed NOT to crack. straight bolt on fit.

Here is mine, its a screamer and as you can see, goes into the turbine itself as to seel it from the gate side of things... wont leak on idle.

Hey dude, have you looked up Tomei dump pipes? Theyre in a similar price range but the Tomei is the bellmouth design.

Heaps of stockists in welly.

I got mine from Soichi @ ST-HITECH up here in auckland. If you run out of luck, ring him up and he can sort you out! PM me if you want his number.

304 Is stainless... Its a number which refers to its metallurgical composition. 304 is your general purpose Austenitic stuff you see everywhere for food grade places followed by 316 which is a bit better. The best grade to use for Exhaust is 409, a Ferritic stainless with no nickel content, instead it is stabilised using titanium.

I think the problem with the chinese stuff is that although they may say its 304, its either full of impurities or its composition is only loosely based on the proper ratio of Carbon, Chromium and Nickel to make it. Personally I'd suggest using Mild steel for all the flanges or machined surfaces if you're going to use 304 to avoid warping.

Sorry to rant, I use stainless for everything where I work, so thought it should be cleared up.

yeah no probs mate, i know 304 is stainless, but my "its shit" comment refers to the fact that its not really any good in an exhaust application that sees rapid heat cycles. 304 is what most china dumps are made out of, hence the cracking issues.

AM performance dumps are made out of 316 manily and 409 is optional if you wish to spend a bit more.

have used 316 exhaust from the turbo back on my R32 drift car, for many meets, which saw lots of heat cycles, making 280 rwkw and never ever had a problem.

Isn't Mac doing a 20% off thing? That would make that about $380? Not quite so crazy. Or get one of the Ds at Midas to make you one up, I was happy as with my stock turbo one and the one with my GT30R seems to be doing the trick too... both made by Dan.

Argh don't speak too soon - I pondered the terminology and I would get Mac to confirm that he is talking about the same thing though, I always took the "Front pipe" bit to be what connects to the rest of the exhaust though he describes it as connecting to the turbo.

He has a separate entry for "Extension kit" and no description of what it is, but is advertising it at $690 - or $552. Eek.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
