Hey, nick from some other post you have done i will assume you have an r34 gtt, if that is the case then here are your options. Getting just a dump pipe to bolt on to your front pipe that you already have may be a bit expensive…all the more recent jap brands etc are made from stainless steel or even mild steel (stainless is more common atm) and a normal retail price for them usually start in the $600 mark (yes it a bit much!!) finding an second hand one usually is around the $300 dollar mark or about $250 depends what you can find at what time (stainless or mild steel) a lot of the dumps (second hand) on the market are for r33’s (GTS-T) I’m not sure if there is a difference in the dump area comparing r33’s to r34’s (single turbo) but the front pipe section “is” longer than the r33, you’d have to compare the dump’s side by side too see a difference (if there is any) to make sure it will fit and isn’t a waste of time.

To get one custom made up lets say it will go over the price of a second hand item maybe $100 or so dependant on the exhaust place doing the work, and there is also fitting etc to be considered.

I myself I have just a front pipe installed and tried to find a dump pipe to complete the system but prices I found were as stated $300+ (split pipe design..But still) and since my front pipe cost me $250 Inc fitting it was all going to add up quite quickly $$$. All the places that sell brand name ones will cost an arm and a leg to purchase unless you have money lying around (I don’t atm :P ) eventually I got a Dump/front combo pipe from BATMBL in mild steel for $250 and then all you need to do it get it fitted which I am in progress of doing atm & I intend to sell my front pipe that I have on atm after this dump/front combo is fitted.

IMO I reckon it’s the way to go if you don’t have too much money to spend (as I have) a lot of people have purchased pipes from him before and not had any problems only positive gains. My 2 cents.

Thanks for your all your help especially REdline. Yeah I have spoken to BATMBL before i put up this thread. Just was hoping one of u guys would know of a cheap place. Anyways I haven't exhausted all my options and probably will be checking around a few places b4 i make up my mind on what to do.

Skyline33 : i'll ask around whether yours 33 pipe would fit on my car. but judging by wat redlinegtr said looks like it wouldnt. But i will still double check to be sure.

Cheers guys.

No problem at all :D

The R33 dump might fit I’m not sure about that, but I know the front pipe (r34) is longer because the cat is further down, at one time I had a r34 & a r33 one in my hand but never thought about doing a detailed check :( some exhaust places I went too were only keen to make custom ones and some places would only sell you a complete exhaust system and won't sell separate parts. Anyways hope you find all the info so you can get what you need. Cheers Rob

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
