Most of them, ones already on a car, two are on hold and the rest are still there.

I've now bought one as well to go with the fujitsubo exhaust that has just arrived.All i need to do is get a front pipe with hi flow cat and things will be smooooooth, but hopefully not too loud. :)

Hi Guys

I managed to get access to a hoist and some help (thanks Iain & Ben) on Saturday so decided to install the new dump pipe.

I was fortunate that I was able to talk to Jetwreck who had taken out his turbo himself and could give me some advise on how to get it out. He described working on the turbo and dump like, like working on a ship in a bottle and he is not wrong.

If you want to do this your self you need a hoist. I could not image doing this on the ground.

To get access to the nuts on the top of the dump you will need to.

* unbolt the exhaust from the dump pipe.

* unbolt the tail shaft at the back of the gear box.

* undo the bolts that keep the pipes for the attesa system in place around the tail shaft.

* undo the 4 bolts on the gear box cross member and lower the gear box by about 2-3 inches. (watch the Atessa pipe as you do this)

You will now have a tiny bit of access to the dump pipe but it is still ridiculously tight.

To undo the nuts on the dump pipe you will need a variety of tools from ring spanners to sockets with 1 - 2 uni joints and very long breaker bar.

The bottom nuts are the easy ones but the top 2 on the passenger side are hell.

We got the dump off in 2 1/2 hours.

When you remove the original dump you will need to remove the support bracket on the exhaust end and reuse on the new dump. This support is spot welded to the dump and requires a bit of work to get it off. This bracket supports the exhaust joint and is threaded so the original bolt can be used to join them. With out this support your exhaust will flex.

It took only 1/2 hour to put the new one back in. One thing to be aware of is that the nuts from the factory have a large flange on bottom edge and there are 1 - 2 nuts that need to be replaced with a nut that has little to no flange to fit on the new dump.

The O2 sensor is a bit of a pain to get out and put back in but patience and little hands will do the trick.

Bolt it all back together and you are set. (Iain may be able to post up some pics later on the difference between the 2 pipes)

The results and defiantly one of the best bang for you buck mods. The car feels more responsive to the throttle, is spooling up up earlier in the rev range. I am seeing full boost (14psi) from just over 2500 rpm. The results off the mark are well worth the effort.

The noise of the exhaust is a little louder and the exhaust note is a little deeper. You hear a bit more turbo whistle.

But I am a happy boy with the results. :P

Good job, it sounds nearly as hard as changing the whole turbo, only a few more bolts. :P

Why did the back of the engine have to be dropped? Was this to get to the top nut on the flange?

Yes, if it was not dropped you would really struggle to get to the O2 sensor and the top nut.

I forgot to mention. You should loosen the nuts holding the air box before dropping the gearbox.

Do you know wich car it was on??

Ive just recently got a full system on from West, (which i think is the same dump). Heaps more responsive. 3" pipe, metal cat and twin tip muffler. Cat sits a little bit lower than oem exhaust so i gotta watch those speed humps. Heaps happy with the guys work, it looks mad and has a real nice note. The missus hasnt complained about the noise yet so it cant be to bad!!

Yeah mate, an rx

Beau was telling me about your car this morning and I think there are a few shots of your dump on this thread.

He was saying that the set up on your car was a bit different to mine when he got it, like it as not quite factory and had already had some exhaust changes done.

I got the O2 sensor out from the top, but I had to remove the top stud from the turbo to remove the dump.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
