Are the tomei REAL 3 inch dumps? That´s the only one I could find where you can see the custom dump pipes...but it was before the GTX came in.

Series 1 are 72 mm internally.

Series 2 are 68 mm internally.

I have to measure again, I think I used 80mm pipes and bends, so 76mm inside diameter for each turbo until the cat converter, then 88.9x2mm to the back...as the cat is the biggest restriction anyways.

That´s why I used two catalic converters on the GTR, and after the middle box there´s a 114.3x2mm pipe towards backbox + end, as this was the biggest possible diameter between rear axle and LSD :D

I can prove otherwise on my own car. do a bit of clearancing with a die grinder, wrap the dump pipe, done.

Give it 18months and then see.

I killed 2 silicone joiners on a low mount setup /w heat shielding over the course of 2 years simply due to radiant heat.

Sean has certainly done it right the first time. I'd never silicone in that area again.

Spat a bolt out of the turbine housing on the rear turbo, so exhaust leak...

My fault as I only used bolts and washers to attatch the rear housings, as they don't come with attachment hardware.

Permanent fix this time with the correct half retainers from some other turbo's in the shed.

Next time I go on a dyno, I'll put up a sheet.

Yeah do everything myself at home including engine builds lol....

Yep twins are fun, 6th time ever on GTR's now....probably 4-5 times with engine in the car, stubby ratchet ringies are your friend :D

here are some pics of a local newcastle engine builder & his latest project.

gtx snails with a few other goodies...take note of the intake plenum & flux capacitor. absolutely awesome fabrication work!

I can see one of the goodies from here... that sneaky Newcastle fella!

Had a play with a nice GTR with a set of the GTX's (modified -5 front covers) last week we ran out of spark (see dip) @ 460rwkw on E85 @ around 23psi definitely good turbo s even with the hybrid front cover..

What size wheels? 60, 63 or 67's?

Yeah what size? And what sort of response?

Edit: see the graph now

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
