Hey guys,

I just bought some turbos and dumps for my GTR. After reading some threads on street turbos, I realise that they are too big for street use and for the power I am aiming for (only 260-280awkw) + I managed to drive a mates r33 with the -5's and they have a little flat torque spot which im not too keen on.

They are the 2530 Garrett equivalents (2860-5) so I wish to sell them to somebody who wants a little extra power.

They are new, and havent been mounted or anything; selling for $2400 and ill post them too. They are only the turbines with the actuator but no gaskets as I was gonna have the tuner source those parts for me.

the other item is some tomei dumps, new again but after reading about the r34 gtr stockers which can handle the 'low' power im after, dont really see the point; will have my stockers blasted and honed to remove the jagged edges (same as my manifolds)

anyways after $800 for them

I know this is a for sale thread but anyone want to chime in about a good front pipe, or is the stocker good enough? thinking of the trust greddy pipe which has the dumps and front included - good compromise?

Last item is my Nismo snorkel, kinda kevlar i think - selling cos ive bought a stock plastic snorkel which i prefer - currently i have it cleaned and wrapped in glad wrap as i think its too nice to put on the car.

anyways hit em up with an PM if interested

-Johnny

-Get some pics up ASAP

Hey, the snokel is for an r34 gtr but im not sure if it fits any other car.

Price wise, i know i didnt post yet cos i dont know what they are worth (came with the car)

Ill check some import sites and see how much they are, if they are rare etc and can finally post a price - again i apologize

Are these the tig welded tomei dumps with the 3" output flanges or those expreme ones with the 2.5" flanges?

First dibs on the dumps if they are the welded 3" large ones.

Im interested in the snorkel as well. Whats the price on that?

Hey mate, sorry but the dumps just sold but the snorkel is still avaliable; hard to put a price on it cos i dont know how much they were new and how rare they are, ill keep checking and post back a price.

Price drop on turbos though - $2200 + extra for delivery

cheers

ps: jst quick, if anyone owns one or knows how much the nismo snorkel is worth care to chime in? thanks

LOL its not the first time ive missed out on those tomei dump pipes! Seems they are the fastest selling item you can list for sale on SAU.

The snorkel was more of a wish list item for me. I realy need dumps and a front pipe before i go buying 1/2 the nismo catalogue...

Regarding your question and reason for sale... Stock 34 GTR dumps are good for up to 300kw easy. Ive heard others report as high as 350kw. Going with stock dumps and a 2nd hand nismo front pipe, or something else (hks, etc) in the 65mm ID range will meet your needs nicely. The trust split pipes are very attractive as well but I have no experience with them. Nismoid does though, so he is the man to ask (as to how they compare to stock 34 dumps and a good front pipe for 300kw).

Keeping the stock manifolds and dumps (match porting them), and getting a good 2nd hand front pipe will work well and save you some money. You can then spend the spare cash on coatings. If you get your exhaust turbines, manifolds, front pipe and dumps internally and externally coated, and your heat shields blasted and ceramic coated as well, it will help reduce under bonnet temps and heat soak, and improve flow and performance... win win win.

There is a new one for sale on eBay for $460 if I remember correctly.

I don't believe they are made from kevlar but are FRP?

Madzzz found it, your right, its made from FRP and costs a tad over 400 brand new so ill post a price of 380 since its pretty much brand new

Looks like the sale fell through, the bloke decided to stick to the stockers so they are back up for sale, ill PM you if your interested. They arent the expreme ones, they are the welded ones; dont know what the deal is with those ones, replacement model? maybe thats why i got a good deal on the pipes.

Im sticking to the stock dumps since im only after the 250-270awkw number so a little blasting and port matching + ceramic coating will give me the results im after (thanks for the advice!)

I gotta do some research on the stock front pipe if it is worth changing? maybe gain some response?

cheers man

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
