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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
