It has been very hard to find anything off the shelf in Japan. we found a used Dolphin dump pipe but we think it was a prototype and there was no production.

I am interested but as always, it depends on price :)

Btw, anyone know roughly how much a dump from Japan would cost? Im heading over in May and wondering if there is much difference in price between this and a branded bolt on.

Thanks

I could make a few up if you need. I have the jig setup already, just need to source a couple of stainless bends. I could work out a good group buy price too if you like?

The stock dump can be a pain to get off, good idea having a hoist to do this job and a good tool selection. I usually replace the studs with stainless bolts to make it easier to refit.

I spoke to liverpool exhausts today after reading about a m35 axis on here (forgot the guys name) but he had a custom dump made up but mild steel with a ceramic coating. the price for this including a highflow cat was $1200 :( W-T-H

Wow 1200 bucks? I got mine from the same place for 900 last year. I must say, even though we sat outside in the carpark for an entire day, they did a decent job and havent had any issues since.

Absolutley Iain. You have my help for the hole day when you get it done.

its helpful to have a friend assist you with the job. isnt that right Andy?? :(

i know ill have some help when mine gets done hehehe

Did you get the dump and cat done as well?......good price at $900 from Charlstone if you did :O.....Iv'e known Bruce for nearly 20 years and he still charged me $1,100 without the dump pipe and cat(what cat :( )

P.S. From what I have seen Scott's Dump pipe is the ones to get.

P.S.S. Andy a guru :O

No, Eugine had his done by Liverpool. And that was from behind the cat back.

Scott's pipes look very good. Pitty they wern't ready when I did mine.

And yes, you know it is true Craig... :O

That dump pipe that you guys saw was a one off and lives on my car.

It was going to be the "production" one, but for 2 reasons;

1. A shit load of time and effort to make

2. A pain in the arse to install/remove

I will be looking into getting some 3" bends so we can make up a few similar to the eBay one.

Anyone who would be interested, please post below to give us some idea of quantities

Yeah I got mine done at Livo Exhaust. As much as i didnt want to go there ever again from past experiences, I had no choice for 3 reasons. 1 - no one at that time on this forum had done any exhaust upgrades, 2 - my stock cat was cracking so I had to get something done, and 3 - Chris (MLCrisis I think that's the id) had his exhaust done at Livo and I liked what they did to his car. My dump/front combo with a high flow cat is mild steel but ceramic coated so won't ever rust as long as I don't scrape the pipe. I recently changed the oil and had a good look at the pipe and cat and after almost 1.5 years of having it, she still looks good.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
