Will have soon... AM Performance are about to start producing M35 exhausts, dumps and mid pipes, and my car is the test car.

Should have some pics in a week or two, and will hopefully be dyno testing at the end of the month at the SAUSA dyno day.

I'm about to throw my dump pipe right now :verymad:

Lowered the gearbox and all, just can't get to the top bolt nor the one closest to the passenger side. Just no flippin room in there.

Having just re-read some of these posts, there's a couple of tricks I haven't tried yet. So after I calm down I'll go back out & have another go.

There's a bright & shiny new Blitz NUR Spec Touring system to go in, so pretty keen to get these last nuts off.

What price are you charging for your dumps? Would you sell just the flanges?

Mine are stainless, 3.5 inch to 3 inch outlet and very smooth flow. I sell them for $450 heat wrapped and can supply gaskets, stainless bolts, stainless studs with copper nuts and heatsheild for the firewall if you require it. I can sell just the flanges if you like, PM me.

Haha, not the easiest of jobs. Give me a call if you need help, I use 2 long extensions and a universal on the end.

:thanks: Scotty. I have it out now, but that was my problem. I was a bit short one end on the extensions :) . In the end I found a couple of short ones to go with my longer one and it just cleared and I wrestled the nuts off.

After eye fulls of exhaust crap, cut, crushed & bleeding fingers/knuckles, this job as almost taken the shine off DIY'ing, but not quite :rolleyes: . I must say I feel more at home with the electronics.

Haha, bitch of a job but now you have done it, next time will be easier right? You have progressed to the next level mate. :worship:

Haha... next time? I hope there's not a next time. I'm hoping my turbo lasts (cough) for the life of my car so there should be no need to take the dump pipe off again.

Mmm, the next level. Can't wait to get it screwed back together & take it for a spin to feel what the 'next level' feels like.

Are they in Adelaide?

Are they in Adelaide?

Yes they are, based in Golden Grove.

Check out the Adelaide section of the forums for details on the SAUSA dyno day, you can check it all out then if you want.

Cool. I haven't seen that before now.

It looks like all the spots are taken now. I might come check it out, would love to see what sort of increases come from the dump pipe and exhaust.

Pics?

This is an indication of just how small our ceramic turbine is (and wastegate too I guess). Here I still have one stud to be removed before reversing the process to put it all back with new bits. I'll take a few more pics later.

I'll post the sheets up here anyway, but it'd be worth checking it out. Dunc is going to put his up too, so even if you can't get a spot it'll be a good day.

Is there anyone who has replaced the dump pipe concerned that there is nothing supporting the exhaust till the hangers near the rear diff?

The factory system has a bracket bolted to the bell housing that goes across to the bottom of the dump pipe, and that isn't used now.

Could there be too much load placed on the turbo housing or transferred further up the line? Mine seems very strong but not sure about long term resiliance to vibration etc.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
