Hey guys,

My car has a JJR dump/front pipe that hangs down WAAAAY too low. Hits on everything, and now I've lowered it a bit more, its attacking my driveway and curb :) Besides raising it again, is there a way of raising the front pipe? Or more likely, is there another brand that sits higher then this one? I want to keep it 3in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rhys

cops love trying that one on in nz . pity the exhaust can legaly be as low as you want as long as its not draggin on the ground . same as body kit . only things of structual importance have to be 100 mm . unless its certified .

Hi Rhys!

I had a custom 3" dump/front pipe on my old 33 GTST

it sat at approx 110mm with lowered suspension and pumped tyres when i went over pits (i borrowed your front bar, as my 400R was sitting to low)

i dont remember there being any hangers holding the dump/front pipe its just bolted onto the turbo and exhaust

I think your only options are raise the car or change to another brand

ive got a spare gktech front and dump pipe for an r33 gts-t just sitting here doing nothing that i'd be willing to part with for the right price

they tuck up ALOT more then jjr and other front pipes , and will give you the ground clearance you need!

Well I personally prefer tobuy new parts where ever possible, but if it's inreally good condition and can be cleaned up I might be interested. Can you PM me a few pictures and a price, mate?

Steve, I remember you borrowed that. Who made the custom one? I'd go to Kermit, but he says a bought one will better.

Otherwise that KTS one looks good. Anyone else know if this is avoid brand? Not too familiar with them.

Snozzle, currently mine hangs down lower then that! But my mate got done cos his exhaust was too low as well. The section they pointed to was 120mm off the ground!!

i had a 3" custom made one as well which im selling now.

it was a 1 piece with dump/front but i cut it and sold the dump with the turbo as the guy didnt want the front pipe.

it sits above the rail and doesn't sag, it came off a R34 GTT if you are keen you can take it for $70, just needs flanged to suit your dump and you are set.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
