Hi,

I'm looking to complete my HKS drager exhaust and trying to find a dump/front pipe. I found this HKS Polished Front Pipe from Nengun but I can't seem to get a reply from them if this is actually a dump AND front in one as the pictures seem to show that it is.

Has anyone got one or know what this is all about? Also, from the looks of the picture are these bellmouthed? I would prefer to have the bellmouth design since I can't find a good place to make me a split system and from the way things are looking I'll probably end up keeping my car for awhile and surely will change turbo in the future when I get bored.

Hopefully that link works.

Any help would be great.

Its just a front pipe. Bolts to the OEM dump pipe.

I have the Mild steel version on my R33.

Stainless one is expensive! But i do want the HKS dump pipe too. Would prefer that in mild steel also... but sheet it is dear!

who has used www.rhdjapan.com, they have decent prices, unlike nengun who want to charge $200 delivery for everything

Just want to know who has had experience with www.rhdjapan.com and are they good? reliable?

Interesting you say that, as everything i have bought from Nengun has been miles cheaper than RHD.

For example i was looking at the HKS dump pipe, its a good $60 cheaper than RHD..

Other than that, mates have used it and never had a problem.

Thanks heaps for the replies guys! Guess the search continues, maybe I should just fork up the cash and get the HKS split dump extension and then the front pipe haha I always believe you get what youy pay for and I would LIKE to believe I'm paying more for less hassles later on.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
