Where is the flex join Jez? Exhaust looks good other than that.

I have never used a flex join on my exhausts scotty. The dump pipes are very secure near the gearbox. Plus it will test out the 6boost manifolds strength :)

Mitcho im hoping for 400kw from mine and 350+ from the R34 with 5558.

The main thing im aiming for is response. Well as much as possible with a 400kw turbo. I will be tuning mine with stock cams for now. Then poncams, then when the headgasket pops i will look at variable intake cam and port work. I will be testing the bottom end on my 26. If it lets go i will worry about it then.

Brilliant attitude!

Hope it all goes well, they're both going to be flex fuel aren't they or is it just yours?

I always run a flex in the screamer pipe as the expansion between off gate and on causes the pipes to move too much. The gate pipes are cold then become white hot as the gate opens. (get a video of it on the dyno, its impressive.) It will most probably crack at the base where it joins the dump and load up the gates and manifold/studs like you said. Bugger removing it all for repairs to save the $20 a two inch flex costs.

Thanks Scotty i will look into them tomorrow. Is easily added onmy car but on the 34 the wastagate pipes is only 2 inches long and turns 90 degrees in the 2inches.

Have u seen any crack due to the reason stated?

Besides mine will be on gate more not haha. Dyno time then trailer to circuit.

Here's hoping you can crack a 10 mate, it will be a nice setup.

I have seen one crack a stainless manifold within an hour on the dyno. (that was with a venting screamer.) I also watched my exhaust grow longer by over 2 inches and glow red at the tip. I can just imagine the stresses on the tubing up the hot end.

That sounds pretty wild, bet Jez is glad you mentioned this prior to him getting them on the dyno

It isn't really an issue if you like pulling the parts back off to weld them but I bet its a job and a half to fit. I just did a split 6boob install and it was a pita, especially the gate position. I fabbed it all in the car though.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
