Just wondering if the front/dump pipe of a r33 gtst is the same as the ones for a s1 stag... dont see why it wouldnbt be as their both running rb25det's.

Justjap also have the same pipe listed for r33/r32 and wgnc34's....

Thinking about buying a 3" bellmouth zx force dump pipe tomorrow for the stag. Then time for a retune of SAFCII, SITC and EBC and i think im done on engine mods till its time for a bigger whistling friend. Maybe time for some slotted rotors.

I think if you buy one of the cheap brand dump pipes the R33 & R32 are the same pipe, the one I got for my 32 didn't sit quite right, so I suspect it was an R33 one. I used the one off my 32 on my S2 stagea and I had to cut it and realign the angle at the bottom straight section. Also had to add about 25mm length to the pipe to get it to meet up properly, this is for the S2 though.

Well chad how about I be the test dummy and ill post up how it goes :P

Also when are we taking both our racing heart equiped stags out with jetskis in tow?

When you tell me where i can get a decent tow bar from.

JJR dump pipe i got of justjap was listed for s2 .

think JJR forgot about the crossmember. had cut and straighten out the front/dump to fit it.

not alot of work. but for one that is listed to fit, it should fit

had the same thing with my s2 and the just jap bellmouth.. the quality at the turbo end flange was very average to.

i would not recomend the jjr bellmouth as you will need to spend the extra money going to the exhaust shop for them to fix it

Ok so it did fit.

When i first started the car their was a VERY ANOYING WEIIR vibration coming through the floor of the car around the G box area. Last for about 20 secs.. then dissapeared? Thinking it might have been hitting the floor of the stag, then settled itself down?

Drove around for a bit to let the beast warm up then gave it some. Car hit highest boost it ever has (13.something psi) so I turned down the ebc till it was hitting 12. So it must have made a difference :D

Well the place I got mine from was well priced but they Fu(ked my rear bar (ended up getting it resprayed for me) and the interior needed some adjusting by myself before it all layed flat in the boot. Want to meet up so you can check it out?

So this vibrating was their thismornign again....

Took of the G box support cos it was might close to that and buzzed 2 mm off it on the very outer edge near the dump(its not sturctual dw!) Start up and its gone... Then it rattle a tiny bit again grrrr!

Realised its prob a mm or 2 from the floor of the stag and sometimes will vibrate on it but only for first couple of seconds or randomly for a couple of seconds when going slow.. Ill see how it goes and if it does it at all while cruising or at traffic lights.

Sure man, sounds good. I should be picking up the Stag on Wednesday, I'll prob be cruising around all weekend in it :P

If it keeps doing it just take it down to an exhaust shop and they should be able to heat the pipe and bend it slightly, if its stainless it might be to hard to bend.

yeah it only just taps it a tiny bit when it first starts then its gone....? Might loosen off the cat bolts a tiny tiny bit and see if that drops it down abit...

If that doesnt work ill take it off spray the seciton of pipe and under car where i think its rubbing drive around for a week or soo. rip it off and c where the paints gone to work out what i need to either smack flat or remove or if i need to get it bent slightly.

Yep that'll work if you haven't got a gas set and its just touching in one small area.

Hey Chris, good to hear you got it on.

When i fitted mine myself, if you remember i wasn't too sure if it was on/sealed 100%. So when i got my 100k service, i got the guys at Boostworx to have a look at it. They told me a couple of bolts had dropped off (probably because i didn't/couldn't get them tight enough to start with) and they redid the entire thing properly. Maybe it's a bolt rattling around somewhere?

Hi nick! Long time no see :P Yeah their a prick to get at those bolts but it wont be one loose.... Got to them all in the end did change one of them to a 6mm allen key so it had a smaller head cos the bolt was fouling on the dump.

Dont really want boostworx doing much to the stag apart from tuning safcII and SITC truth be known, but we'll keep why off the forums :( cos their good blokes.

Well I went to D N T performance (exhaust shop here in adelaide) on sat to get a 3" off cut to do the intake pipe mod, while i was their I told them about the dump pip tapping the floor. They said to unbolt the cat back and just pull the dump pipe downwards to bend it a tiny bit. Yesterday arvo gave it a good yank and its all sweeettttt :blink:

your alot more game than i would be, pulling down on the pipe, i'd be worried about damaging the turbo casting. lol

just take it to the exhaust shop you went to and see if they'll fix it up for you, if you go in they aren't too busy, and you have cash with you, they'll probably fix it up cheap for you. it will only need to be cut and re-angled, maybe a small length added into it. shouldn't need to take the pipe out to fix up, we didn't when i fitted mine.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
