M35 Dump Pipes Again

[Sunkist]

so you know what im refering to well im in NZ and mine went through compliance and warrants etc and i still got it its fn awsome , full controll over my exhaust sound level

and ye it is a factory some stageas came with a few little extras

lol factory is as it came out of the 'factory'

Nissan dealers added the 'options' when sold to a customer. so its not factory - its an optional extra. trust me, the factory exhaust is a peice of shit. lol

I got schooled about this difference between factory/option when i said my remote start was factory.

2.25 towards the end of the exhaust should make a difference to power shouldnt it? in saying your doing the rest of the exhaust 3"

its not factory, its a dealer fitted option.

however, i agree its awesome

oh well the dash switch and al that looks all factory and its al nissan parts ?

any way its good just want the exhaust from there forwards to be a nice tuned straight pipe

[zei20l]

the factory valve cant be moved to another exhaust. well, not easily.

plus its too small for a 3" exhaust.

youll need a 3" ECV and the required activation cable

yeh so is my remote start. i got them to pull the battery and remote of the keys when compliance.

I wish i had one of these adjustable doo hickies! wouldve been awsome.

my car sound like a thunderstoorrmm,

Theres a power difference between 'Silent' and 'Sport' modes; I would say this difference would be present whether you had 2" straight through to the muffler or 3" to the muffler.

what exhaust are you running

and so you recon 3 inch or 2.5 all the way thru is best for the stagea ?

on another note spoke to R.I.P.S (NZ local skyline experts )

after asking them for some custom work they said using my car for R+D they could make bolt on performance turbo kits , incl plenum, piping ,intercooler , throttle body , manifolds and turbo for the stagea

im guna look into the idea of not havn the wagon for a while

but the heated(expanded air molecules) at the turbo dump, would be much hotter than the colder(compressed air molecules).

Wouldnt this mean that once the air is cooled down enough, the 2.25" should be an ok size right.

a 3 inch the whole way would be better. airflow = power.

finding a turbo that fits is going to fit will be a bitch. nothing else fits for us - but may well work with new manifolds(we would be interested in gated manifolds to fit)

theres a HDI FMIC kit already available, which is proving a win for most of us.

and our throttle bodies are pretty big stock!

Try and get em to do a manual 4wd conversion kit! thats something we NEED

fortunatly i got my compliance and warrants with the switch still active and yes it is a silence / power switch

[zei20l]

well, thats good!

it can be adapted to an apexi ECV (search ebay, about $200-200 delivered) where the cable comes out of the boot area. try not to destroy things when removing tho.

[Sunkist]

how good would it be having a switch. mines way too loud lol

if you got the cash just buy the factory parts from the manual stagea , i know you get one or if you google the boys from jun built a 350z 4wd using the m35 stagea drivline and all the bits etc im prety sure a vq30 manual box can be moded to suit the vq25det then just need a pedal kit

[zei20l]

yeah they also used a $40k AWD transmission with a stagea front diff

[Sunkist]

the vq30 manual is a RWD isnt it(not sure)

and we want something that just bolts up. instead of looking at cutting bellhousings...

[zei20l]

also, manual stageas are only RWD.

#$#$ awsome that means i can get a after market exhaust and get this , perfect get my load sound with th eoption of silencing

weird tho this unit sits up by the coverter where as mine is actually inside -part of the rear muffler

any way good find

as mine had compliance with a ECV on it i can get a aftermarcket one

[zei20l]

you can put it anywhere in the exhaust that you want.

they only advise the cat end.

[scotty nm35]

what exhaust are you running

and so you recon 3 inch or 2.5 all the way thru is best for the stagea ?

Yep, ok...

Have they seen the placement of the turbo? Not that I wouldn't mind a RIPS manifold but seriously, they have enough work to last them a century, why would they want to tool up for the VQ? Not even getting started on the tuning...

I questioned rob about and if he had any experiance with doing up stageas and he said "shit loads mate"

then i said but wait its the new one with the vq25det and he went a bit quite then said "well nissan are moving away from the straight 6 platform to all using vq and vh engines so i might as well start working them"

i sad well ill bring my car down and he said " i could look at doing a full turbo kit but wil take sum time to get everything right and tuned etc "

but he is really keen to have a look

he said he can start with the easy stuf like manifold plenum etc

[Jetwreck]

maybe give him the list of what we have done first and the result's we are getting then let him have a good old think. Plenum manifold would be nice though depending on the design!
