The part number for a r33 cat in a N/A and a turbo are the same. I would only be using an educated guess but i reckon its the same for the R34.
If thats the case the dump pipe will match the cat along as it the original one from compliance.

Ok so I'll run an r33 dump and front pipe into my current cat and other pipes (for now).

More questions, with the intake we have the na with the big Y piece. The Gtt had the single straight cross pipe. Will I need to buy a new intake manifold from a Gtt? Or do I bolt the cross pipe to the big Y thing. I don't know what to call it! Haha

I've attached pictures.. Hopefully they work with tappatalk!

You can get a custom 90 degree pipe made up or use a silicone pipe and attach to the end of the "Y" piece. Dan666 has/had this setup I think. You will have to remove the resonator box and get a GTt airbox :)

Still going along.

Things to do:

Mount intercooler to get piping made up ready for install.

Source intake manifold/cross pipe/bov/throttle body - alternatively I could weld up some pipe with a bov and attach that to the big Y throttle body. What ever is cheaper/easier.

Dump/front pipe still need them cheaply.


ECU! What will I do there?! is the AWD controlled by the main ECU? From what I can see there is a separate AWD computer. Hmm.

P.s some background on me:

I'm studying Science, im 23, I used to modify computers when I was in my teens. I also used to race karts and work on them. This is a bit of a learning exercise for me, but I have a few mechanics helping me out when I get stuck.

Get a Ebay front and dump pipe in one. They are about $299 and will get as good as the genuine ones if not better, not much more than 2nd hand genuine.
Also look at getting a braied oil feed line and braided coolant feed and return line kits. You get all 3 lines in the kit.

ahk, thought you were using a RB25 turbo.
The oil return should be on the turbo you have, it stands out (Its a15 cm metal pipe with about a 45 degree elbow bend at the bottom of it aimed towards the bottom of the block so it drains turbo oil into the sump).
There simple drain pipes, if you didnt get one with your turbo that one on Ebay looks to be a good alternative, you just bolt that plate to the turbo and screw one of the fittings in then the other into the block fitting and hook the hose up and its done.

I've got Turbo Yoda from Mighty Car Mods giving me some advise on this one. He's actually told me that because of the NA motor I can run a bigger turbo than you would be able to in the Turbo model.

For now I'll run the RB25DET stock turbo.

Higher compression spools the turbo very quickly. On my auto I would reach full boost by at least 2,000rpm.

I lost compression after 40,000 kms of N/A+t, and I didn't drive it gently either. I was going to do a stag n/a+t swap with a larger rear housing turbo, but decided on reliability of a det swap which on stock turbo and internals through a heavy duty auto box netted me 215rwkw with a e01 boost controller and emanage blue ecu running map and afm simultaneously, tuned by Paul Fisher at Pulse racing. I'd take the swap over bolt on conversion.

Still collecting parts here, getting a bit poor and uni exams atm!

If anyone has cheap:

Oil/water turbo lines

front pipe

SMIC with piping (can trade for a FMIC with no piping, but its big and will fit the skyline front grill just haha)

what are people doing for the oil drain on a s1 r33 25de engine?

i'm thinking weld barb onto sump as its cheaper and quicker then drilling and taping in a new drain where that blanked off one is on the block, and dont have to worry about lost metal filings

There is a drain pipe at the top of the head for oil (above the power steering pump). It travels down to the bottom of the block and had a small 90 degree rubber hose at the end of the pipe draining into the bottom of the block. You can cut that and put a T piece in there and direct the oil drain from the turbo into that T piece.

Got my braided oil lines.

Rough pricing of things:

exhaust manifold + Turbo $100

Walbro fuel pump $50

R34 GTT manual ECU $100

Turbosmart type 2 bov $20 lol

braided oil lines: $70

dump pipe $20

Fmic $50

Just need a front pipe and then going to do intercooler piping

cheers

i'm a 20 man, only recently acquired a 25 and thought that pipe was for coolant :laugh:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
