That kind of stuff is so easy for an exhaust shop to make up. for the price your better off getting it here.

Yeah - $445 Aus delivered. And I guess the complication is it doesn't just bolt into your system like the dump at the start of this Post. So keep me on the list for one please.

I am preparing for the install with a kitchen grater and knuckles in close proximity. Everyone has forgotten to mention goggles to keep all the crap out of your eyes but fog up so you can't see so you take them off and get crap in your eyes so you can't see. All lying on your back!

Think leaving it to xmass time in 40 degree plus should make it more fun as well. Can't wait! :D

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?

http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h...0NM35%20VQ25DET

it is a replacement for the section straight after the dump pipe. The left side of the image is front of them pipe and the reduced end is toward the back.

Cheers

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.

Nah, it is a Kakimoto front pipe (de-cat) as Andy said and is between the end of the dump and the start of the "cat-back".

Also, as someone who had one on my car, I can tell you that the pic in the auction is not accurate.

Also, from the dump pipe flange, is has about 10mm where the pipe is 76mm, then it flares out to 80mm the rest of the way.

I had confusion!

So photo attached, I hope, for clarity.

Part 9 - Dump Pipe which has cat in it?

Part 16 - Front pipe with another small cat in it?

Part 5 - Big Cat with some pipe after it.

Part 2 - Muffler

So the original sale pic I put up shows a substitue for the standard front pipe with no little cat (is that a kitten?)?

The standard system has 3 cats in it. We get rid of the first one with the custom dump and that is not real obvious to inspections?

What do most do about the small one in the front pipe?

"Cat back" systems replace all of Part 5 and 2 and may or may not have a cat in them?

Have I finally got it right?

No rude comments about how slow I is fangyou!

Mostly right.

Standard system has TWO cats in it.

9 = Dump and has a small cat in it

16 = front pipe with normal low-flowing cat

5 = resonator - only there to keep the dB level down (no cat, but don't tell Nispro :()

2 = muffler (no cat, but again, don't tell Nispro :) )

Just replace the one in the front pipe when you go to a 3" exhaust (just get a high flowing cat off ebay :))

And yes, aftermarket cat-back systems replace 5 and 2

Thanks iamhe77 and scotty n35. Bit of misinfo early on got me confused - now sorted on what is what and the replacement options. Haven't played with cars much for last 20 yrs and even then they weren't new ones so few bits have changed just a little!

I also got confused with this as my compliance paperwork said that 3 replacement cats had been fitted...

I now reckon that this was Ben just getting his PM35 compliance paperwork sorted out... :)

Old Gregg, where did you get that diagram? I want to see more info like that! :rofl:

Cut that diagram out of one section of the manual. It only has the diagrams most of the text is gobbledygook. Downloaded it from some where on this site - I think - have been looking and can not find it again. Hate the search function for this otherwise great site!

Can anyone else tell Sage 222 where the manual is please.

If no response PM with email and I will send - from work of course. Biggest section is 5.29Mb. most 1Mb and smaller.

G'day Angus, where do we stand with this? Are you still on track for pre Christmas delivery or is maybe becoming a New Years' resolution?

Cheers, Leon.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
