Jetwreck's dump pipe has now been fitted, everything went to plan and there were no major hassles (just a stubborn bolt that took a sh!tload of patience and a few swear words to get undone).

Spoke to him after he had driven it for a little while and he stated that the spool up of the turbo was quicker than with the standard dump pipe (with cat removed).

I took some photo's for you, nothing professional like zeil20l's :D

Charlestone Exhaust are going to work on the jig's and get a price together for the higher flow dump pipes in the next few weeks, I'll get a call when it's all prepared and let you guy's know the price.

Nice.

Are you able to get a pic of the angle it of your front pipe from the side of your car?

Mine has a slight downward angle to my Legalis is a little lower than I would like.

If this dump makes the front pipe a little straighter, sign me up.

They were the main pictures I took, but it was pretty damn close if not spot on to the original length etc. of the stock dump pipe, we put them side by side and done a comparison.

It didn't adjust jetwreck's exhaust angle at all.

Err.. someone else making a dump now?

Err.. yep :P

Mainly to get a comparison between what local supplier's can provide, also gives us a comparison on prices too.

I'm going to get Charlestone Exhaust to do the whole exhaust once I've been high-flowed so it's worked out well.

haha craig you should really do up the banjo bolt for the oil line.

and there are studs already in the back of the turbo? or did you put them all there (my idea) ?

nah leave the banjo loose, its a good way to do rust proofing....sort of like a old Bentley :P will fix it soon.....just got to motivate myself :D

Studs are already there...we stuck in two new ones on though as my old ones had seized the bolts on.

P.S. It's not all oil....there a shit load of WB40 there as well.

Oh nice, i'm still up in the air on how to make this one..

prob end up doing dump to catback..

will see tomorrow what to do :D i think i'll get started on it then

I forgot to add that the one Charlestone Exhaust are working on is going go be a mild steel possibly sprayed black instead of a stainless steel (like the pics I posted up).

None of us seen the point of doing it to be pretty when you barely see any of the dump pipe, plus it saves a bit of money on the cost to go towards other mods :P

If anyone has had a turbo replaced in their M35 by any workshops in Sydney region can you let me know, I'm seeking a workshop to get an estimate from to fit a high-flow turbo and the new dump pipe.

You might as well, I'd also be inclined to either heat wrap or ceramic coat, to keep heat down.

Would definitely be keen once you have price :laugh:

Ok so as for the Dump i am getting made up this week..

i'll have 9 in total for sale (which i am not making any money off only doing my friends shop a favor as he lends me his hoist tools etc all the time)

i gave you all the option on materials, stainless/mild, ceramic coated/uncoated can be black coat silver coat.

Heres an example of work that my friends have done k24a headers for honda coated in the silver ceramic finish.

Hi Andrew,

Has the price been firmed up yet?

Are you saying they will be ready on Monday?

Cheers

Hey Andy,

i'm going to give everyone options on what way to go. if anyone is still interested now that everyone seems to be making them :)

the price is still going to be around the 400-500 mark not including coating.

i'm hopefully picking up the stock dump tonite and will get a jig made up this week, so possibly we could have some done by monday.. but it will be pushing it since i wont be around on the weekend as the snow is calling.

as for me, i'm probably going to make mine dump/front pipe in one. and get it coated in the black ceramic coat. tho my welding wont be as neat as what westside can do.

LOL everyone is making them? not quiet, there are a few good exhaust joints, not everyone necessarily is close to the one you are using, everyone likes to be able to make choices :D

I have hold of the stock dump pipe and Craig is going to pick it up from me later this afternoon.

The 400-500 price sounds a little steep to me, if you are only referring to the small section of pipe or do you mean for the dump/front pipe all in one?

Well not everyone :P but there seems to be a few in the works and livo's job too. i'm not really fussed i know westside do quality work, and have alot of experience in the industry.

as i said the price isnt confirmed at all. i have just picked up the flanges today and they look great compared to livos garbage he supplied me.

As for not bieng close to here i was offering them delivered too.

will definatly know pricing in the next few days for these. as i almost have everything at the shop now to get started.

Well not everyone :) but there seems to be a few in the works and livo's job too.ge he supplied me.

I don't think Liverpool are really interested as I never received a reply to the 2 PM's I sent to Eman. Bad luck to them, I am giving my money for a full exhaust (bar the dump) to Charleston Exhaust this Friday. :D

I refuse to spend money with people operate a business that are not capable of at least a courtesy to reply to messages. :P

Fortunately there are still some workshops that recognize what customer service is. (now I can get off my soap box)

Charlestone Exhaust will mainly be a supply and fit, will be good for those who want to go for a new turbo back exhaust system in 3" :P

I can tell you fitting the dump pipe yourself is fairly fiddly and a pain in the ass, Craig did his in 2 1/2 hours.

I'll get mine fitted at the same time a new high-flowed turbo goes in to make life easier, then it's off to Charlestone Exhaust for the remainder of the system to be fitted.

Yeah the guy was a bit funny there eh. telling me he was going to flood the market with his dumps..

Does one of you guys work for Charleston? its in Blacktown right?

Its fair enough they will be doing a supply and fit, i dont see a problem with that, what are they charging for a full 3 inch and dump?

cant be any worse than a gtr dump eh? it looks like you can actually get your hands in there!

i'm going to do the high flow also, gotta call my mate at turbologic soon to get it done. will prob go the bb turbo tho.

    • 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)
