My mate at the compliance shop is helping to fit it as he does it fairly regularly and knows the tricks.

i bet he does it regularly to many cars other than an M35. wait till he tells you he has given up :P

anyway the dump looks good!. its gonna help the turbo breathe!

Well considering he has to change the dump and front pipes with Australian complied cats for the compliance process, I think it is.

Not sure is the workshops actually do this in other states as they should be!

not for the dump cat. just because its not approved by our Regulations desnt mean they get rid of it. just means they'll put another cat which IS approved somewhere in the front pipe. not having a go, just hope your not expecting the world from compliance lol

Having seen what gets replaced I know what he does. It is a dump and front in one with new cats in it. Not just replacing the front pipe, both get replaced for compliance. This must be done for compliance. If the workshops don't and they get a surprise audit on the car (it happens Ive been at his workshop when the inspector was there) there will be trouble. Ill get a pic of the set up today while Im there.

IMO the dump pipe is not that hard to do.....it's just knowing how to do it.

I'm not a mechanic and I figured it out....just took a little longer the first time.....but there are imo a couple of little tricks which make it a lot easier....and becasue that dump pipe is so similar to Scott's imo it should not be a hassle.

Once he has fitted the compliance dump/front with cats and the car has gone for it's ID inspection we are then fitting the s/steel dump (no cat) and s/steel front pipe (200cpsi cat) to the car. Hopefully it will go for ID inspection by the end of this week.

A pic of the dump is in this thread on first page. It's 3" dump and front but ha e to keep the stock cat back. The wife won't let me fit a cat back to it, it has to stay quiet.

I'm just trying to do as many mods as I can (without her knowing) to improve low and mid torque as im not aloud to modify anything else. It's a sad life, lol

Yeah normally I go buy something with out her knowing, get it home and un pack it and set it up, then it's too late to return. I'm lucky to be getting away with a set of Tanabe coilovers, she's not happy about that. I told her the stock shocks are shagged.

Just get the Blitz NUR.

Same volume as stock (82dB) whereas all others are 88dB+.

Yes, but since the reason stated was "noise", I figured that the Blitz would be more suitable.

not trying to get into an argument with you.

but the size of exhaust i think would be just as noticable to his wife.

fujitsubo sort of looks stock, and is quiet. and cheap. win/win/win

Actually we all reckon the overall noise levels went down with the Blitz system. Intake noise was reduced heaps, so the in cabin levels were much quieter, at least whilst cruising. Even when giving it a bit, the noise is more pleasant, less Dyson more, erm, car.

But I agree with Aaron, the tail pipe look too big - & my wife wasn't too pleased at first but is over it now lol. I still get a bit embarrased driving it around sometimes as I'm more into stealth, tho my 14yo son thinks it's too small.

The Fujitsubo would be a good compromise between stockish looks & not too much more noise. I wish I had your outlet on my exhaust.

the kaki R I went with was a win for me.

suprisingly not TOO loud, free flowing, and after taking the gay tip cover off, it came up awesome

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
