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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
