I got a pair of x-force split dumps from hi octane for a pretty reasonable price man. In my case they made good numbers on the dyno even on low boost levels too. Obviously not as good quality as the more expensive dumps like tomei etc but for value for money they are the go and far better than the ebay stuff and other low-end chinese rubbish that cracks and does not last!

Hope that helps.

thanks man iv been filtering through the forums and i think ill got for the JJR belmouth one piece front/dump pipe paired with a catco high flow cat and see how that goes it will actualy be saving me a cuple hundred so i can put it towards ether an inter cooler or nistune lol

now all i have to do is find a standard r34 actuator just incase my boost goes up by 2 psi ,

thanks for the help guys we had a bumpy start but got there in the end lol.

When u say all the air pipeing do u mean vacume tubeing or the pipes that go from the turbo to the inercooler and back to the throdel inlet ?.

Well the turbo pipeing is easy as iv had that off a few times when I was makeing the heat Sheld for the pod.

As for the vacume tubeing (which I thing u mean) iv been putting it off lol . Indont think it will be hard it's just trying to locate all of them lol. I should do it as if there's a leaky one it probably affecting performance. If u live near by we can by a cupple of meters of the stuff and work it out lol .

As for the quality of the front / dump pipes I wouldn't have a clue that why it's good to have someone explain it . I'd say the bigger the area at the back of the turbo the less turbulace/interupted flow ??!! Am I right

ahh that would be awesome but im up in sydney, sorry mate. i've been putting off the vacuum piping for shear fear of the job hahaha, so many pipes, so many sizes

yeah i thort there were only two sizes ??? but then agian i havent looked at it yet lol

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
