Im wondering whats the process involved to change the front pipe on a 34 GTR, can it all be done from underneath the car or do you have to go in from the top aswell. Are there any tools that are a must have when doing this job and anything else to look out for.

Also looking at doing a fuel pump upgrade sometime in the future, are anyone running walbro's or bosch 040 in the 34gtr???? whats the general concensus with fuel pump upgrades for the 34 GTR.

i did my front pipe here at home on the drive way. i jacked the side of the car up, slipped some car stands under for good measure

just undo the bolts holding ur cat to front pipe, then with a long extension socket undo the 2 bolts per turbo holding the front pipe to the dump pipes, very easy to do.

as for fuel pump, i was gonna run a bosch, but for the stuffing around required to make them fit i bought a Sard 280lp/h drop in pump. that was my first time doing a fuel pump and it took me a max of 1.5hours.

cheers for the responses guys, have done plenty of work on gtst's and evos but never anything on a gtr. Will be taking my time, good to know I can just get it underneath with an extension bar (and some wd40 etc) its what I was hoping for.

for the fuel pump forget the walbro or 044. buy a nismo/sard/tomei drop in 276L/ph pump. they support 700cc injectors and bolt in with no hassles. worth every penny.

As above - I did mine in 40 mins, then sat around wondering if I'd done it wrong cos it was too easy. You also get the rubber tank seal included in the kit and no wiring to do.

is gasket sealant required when fitting a brand new front pipe with brand new gaskets?

also i noticed tomei also offers a wiring harness to bypass the fuel pump voltage control module. is this a worthwhile mod together with installing say a tomei drop in fuel pump? or is there a easy DIY way to bypass that fuel pump voltage control module?

i just used a dot of gasket/sealant crap to hold the gaskets in place as i was fitting the front pipe..

funnily enough my 20yr old rusted bolts were easy to undo.. the bolts holding the "cat" in which were 2 weeks old were way harder to undo haha

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
