Hi All,

Just got a HKS front pipe for my 32 GTR. Inlets look alot bigger than the factory ones, so i'm wondering if the front pipes will fit on the standard GTR dump pipes?

If not, can I just make an adapter to fit?

Cheers

They should bolt straight on.

I've got hks front pipes and they're direct fit.

Stock R32GTR dumps suck

Thanks,

I'd like dump pipes, but thought its a turbo out job to fit them? Or is it just a bitch to fit without removing the turbos?

Pretty much dude :)

If you only have stock turbos, then no point.

As you'd only change it all if you were changing turbos. It's advisible to change them (the turbos) more for safety but as long as you keep boost under 14psi things should be ok - still risky though on a 32 motor IMO.

I had the factory ones replaced ages ago, didn't think about dumps back then ><

I'll keep dumps in mind for next time

stock dumps are fine in that case then - not much of a gain if any really

I was using R33 stock dumps, 340rwkw from -9 sized turbos.

As good of a result as anyone else with bigger than factory ones.

Let's consider the extra heat restrictive factory dumps create...we hear this from you repeatedly Nismiod that there's no gains to be had from a/m dumps yet you harp on about all the gains to be had from a larger free flowing exhaust ie. 3.5"...your opinion or experience on the dyno contradicts the vast majority of other peoples experience with a/m dumps... Better response, more power, proven time and time again.

If you can afford dumps, do them, simple.

Nope, I don't and i don't believe nismoid has any back to back tests, same car, same dyno, same day which would prove there is nothing to be had from changing dumps and if he did, I dont believe he'd share them as if would detract from his position of 'little if anything to be gained'...

I've got some common sense and it tells me it's harder to blow through a straw than a garden hose.

Take a look inside a factory dump, lumps, bumps and restrictions galore.

I just don't get how anyone can say one section of the exhaust, the dumps in this case, a section exposed to the hottest exhaust gases is not worth upgrading, it contradicts everything people have been doing with turbo cars for years.

Are there any examples of any of the jap tuners retaining stock dumps?

I've said it once and I'll say it again, if we all followed nismoids lead, we'd all be driving stock dumped, stock cammed RB26s...there's plenty of people on this forum who'd beg to differ.

Nothing against you Nismiod, just too one eyed on this topic IMO.

ive got standard dumps on my 33 GTR with HKS front pipes.. put it this way the assface that left the dumps standard needs a swift kick in the mouth.. hate buying cars with shit work done.. and i 2nd ur oppinion NSNPWR

Still... would be interesting to see how much a pair of big dumps would make to power and response with some -7's and/or -9's

Obviously huge gains to be had with -5's and 10's as youd be stupid to run standard dumps

Ah you have missed recent developments - :)

I've got Garrett -5s on my car now.

Just to see, I purchased a set of Tomei dumps and to put them to the test.

I didnt make 1rwkw more than any other setup with stock R33/R34 dumps. No same day. Same dyno, same parts on motors built to the same spec - best i have which isn't too far off.

My power curve is identical to all the others. 3.5" exhaust, no cat, Racepace front pipes etc etc.

I wasted $600, just how it goes.

Actually no i lie - the exhaust note changed slightly. That's all I got from $600

There is only one flaw to the straw analogy. If the straw flows the amount of air - simply going bigger offers nothing.

Just because a setup dares to push the limits, and produces the results, people doubt.

Only human nature, i doubted too and hence i purchased dumps even against advice :)

^^ when do you think it becomes a restriction? The dumps that is.

Would have to be big power...they are very short pipes so there is no real time for the gasses to be held back...being that they are exiting the turbine at near supersonic speed (I no make that up)

Quick edit - Also, whilst the standard dumps are quite small, they are still larger than the turbine exit, and only have 3 cylinders worth of gas flowing down each one.

So whatever size the stock dumps are, 2 1/4" or so, that is quite a large exhaust for a 1.3L motor

Split or bellmouth?

From what i understand of the theory, split should help with spool, but perhaps the improvement is negligible.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
