I think it's pretty stupid of Livo not to take up on a group buy. And wtf does flooding the market have to do with anything. Pathetic I say.

There's 1 bolt that's a real PITA to get to on the dump pipe. It's right at the top and you can only get to it from underneath.

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.

Liverpool Exhaust can flood the market but I predict not many people will buy their piece of sh!te. :P especially Andy lol

None of us work for Charlestone, but it's run by a top bloke and he has a good name on a variety of car forums etc. Craig has had several cars fitted out by them. It's at Blacktown yes.

The factory turbo is bb, it doesn't look like a good choice to go bush (check the turbo thread if you havn't already).

I don't have a price on the full system yet, I'll wait until the dump pipe is ready to be produced and then I will get a price on the dump and the rest of the system. I'm hoping to keep my Nismo muffler and pipe (cat back) but I will have to see how the airflow goes.

No, none of us work there. Jetwreck speaks highly of them so I thought I would give them a call get a quote and see what they suggested.

It was a very easy decission in the end as they were by far, the best service, best advice (all other shops had a one solution to all problems) and the killer the price was by far the best.

A business with a good business ethic and customer service wins me every day.

I would also say the same of Fast Fit at Leichardt as there response to my inquiry about the tow bar was top notch. I will tell you about the craftmanship after Thursday.

I can not say the same of many other exhaust shop I have been to over the last couple of months.

Yee sweet met up with Craig tonite, and he gave me the spiel on charleston,

that stock dump looks like a nightmare! i will soon have a solution, i cant believe how much restriction these cars have now.. as far as performance gains go with exhausts/dumps there is clearly a huge difference in any direction you take.

i'll get my car up on the hoist soon to see what kind of clearance we have and make a nice smooth bend out of the flange.

we're only going to make a dump that replaces the stock item. that way front pipes/catback selection is up to you.

p.s. Nice car Craig :) and good to meet you too!

Ill be following this as well!

keen as a bean for a dump

Go to the loo then man :P

Hi Ben

The dump Andrew is getting made up is for a M35 Stagea not the C34.

Cheers

Andy

I think you will find Benny may have just upgraded to an M35 :D

yeh dumb ass 1(andy) and 2(steve)!!!! :)

Andrew and I will keep you up to date Ben.

Why am I a dumb ass? :P

I was pointing out to Andy that Benny had upgraded!!

Sheesh!!

The jig has been made up,

all we have now is to check out under the car to see how smooth a bend we can get coming out of the turbo flange :P

hopefully will get a good look tomorrow arvo otherwise i'll be down the snow for the weekend..

Ok so the Jig is up!! hehe

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
