Hey,

Quick question, I have a 97 R33 GTS-t.

Up until not its been stock dump/front pipe.

A few days ago I got it replaced with a 3" turbo back...

When I got the car back there was not heat shielding at all,

no heat tape or shields.. Is this normal ?

Do I need heat shielding??

Cheers

Craig

i installed my own dump/front pipe and didnt put the dump shield or turbo shield back on. nothing wrong with it. just keeps engine bay temps down a lil. personally dont think it really effects anything.

It will still fit the turbo. They were just lazy.

I had mine off for a while when i painted them up, and the underbonnet temps skyrocket. It makes a pretty big difference.

Plus the stock turbo looks shit anyway :P

Really?

im gonna ring that prick right now. if it fits i want it on.

LOL!

What dump pipe did you get exactly?

I had a JJR split type originally and the turbo heat shield fit perfect with it. As it was nowhere near the dump pipe itself. But the dump pipe shield, obviously does not. As the OEM dump has brackets to support it :P

EDIT:

It looked like this

And i can 100% guarantee that the turbo shield fits!

JJR Split Front/Dump. It looks now like your photo. I can see the shiny pipe too. Previously i couldnt see any of that it had a big ugly looking shield. Maybe im confused but im pretty sure your photo is how mine stands currently? Ill take a photo shortly and post it. He said something about it not lining up anymore?

Haha couldnt get a hold of him ill try again tomorrow.

The turbo heat shield will fit, regardless what dump pipe is on there. And yes, the photo above doesn't have the heat shield on there.

Ah yeah my bad, meant to mention that. It wasnt on in that photo for other reasons. Was figuring out what to do with the water line etc. But it was on there soon after no problems.

I had the same dump pipe installed (JJR Split), and when i got my car back, noticed that the shield was missing. I asked the guy why, and he said that the heat shield bolts onto the oem dump... making it now unusable...

Well i dont know what you guys are doing but i had my aftermarket dump pipe running with the stock heat shield for some time until i decided i hated the look of it and wanted something different.

If you didnt notice, the people saying they dont have them got them installed elsewhere. Its not their faul the place was lazy.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
