If it is anything like the beastly unit he made for me or the even larger (!!!!) dump pipe he put on his own M35, you will certainly notice quite a difference :)

hehe hope thats the one i got .. because mine is large and spiffy heatwrapped ^ :D

big :( scott.

btw scott.. hows our dolphin replacements going for that turbo inlet.. tell your wife we need you on the mig! :)

Dolphin? bah!

My intake craps all over that one. :P

I can make it whenever you want buddy...

awesome - champ!

from what i understand also.. the dolphin upgrade isnt mission critical its the other piece you've welded up, although i understand the dolphin helps marginally with the flow rate.

im looking at rebuilding this turbo to be ready by late dec/early jan depending on how long they take.

so anytime around then would be awesome?

and what do you want for one?

Cheers

Keir :D

Angus,

Put me down for one mate. My preference is to have it looking factory stock for the ceramic coat..

To all the others who fitted theirs by themselves:

Oh and I don't have a hoist, but it sounds like dropping the gearbox X-member is the way to go.

Can someone detail the steps to go through?

Dropping the gearbox x-member is not required.... even without a hoist.

Just get it up on ramps/secure axle stands, undo the front pipe at the dump (2 bolts) and f**k around for sometime trying to get all 5 bolts/studs undone so you can remove the dump.

Some swearing is recommended for release of frustration :whistling:

Oh, and make sure you do it when the dump pipe is cold!

Lastly, WD40 is your friend

Bends have been bought! flanges are being cut! we're moving along in the right direction!

What kind of coatings do we want? the dark coloured stuff or the polished look?

Champion effort!

By coatings, are you still talking ceramic?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not expecting enter a car show so the only way anyone (other than my mechanic?) is going to see the pretty "polished look" dump pipe is if I roll the car in a ditch and it's upside down.

So I'm not overly concerned, except darker sounds like it's less likely to show up my grubby fingerprints, and those blood stains from my knuckles from trying to fit it..

Some swearing is recommended for release of frustration :(

I made my own Stainless dump pipe for my 1600 and getting the F&*(^King 02 sensor off while in the car was made extremely easy by dropping many F bombs... Don't worry I'm fluent..

Sounds like a good job..

Might take some photos and add to a build thread on here?

Yeah no problem, the coating is the ceramic, Andy said there were some heat issues with the last ones, passenger feet getting a little warm so its a move in the right direction.

Sounds like Black coating it will be!

Not looking forward to finally fitting my one once they are done either! it sounds like your typical nissan dump pipe.. dont plenty of gtr ones and they are so annoying.

Anyone know if this sale item is a replacement of the standard dump pipe and part of the standard front pipe that attaches to it?

It looks like it could be.

The problem that I can see here is, pipe dia. off the dump is 2.5" so you're not getting the best possible flow, and you will also need to cut it and fit a cat about halfway along that pipe if you don't want to get a fine.

Add to that, I would recommend a flex bellows off the flange before the bend. By the time you have this delivered to Aus, modify it to suit, you would've been able to have a custom pipe made EXACTLY how you want for the same dollars.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
