hi guys,

I just purchased a JJR 3" dump pipe and got my mechanic to fit it today and ran into trouble.. when dump pipe was fitted bottom of turbo flange was flush but had a 10-12mm gap at the top and the flange at the cat end didn't quite line up and was hitting the trans x member and couldn't get it to fit at all.. bit of a mystery as saw other ppl were running the same dump pipe on there stags.. just wondering if anyone has had the same problem..

cheers guys

r33 or 34?

some have reported r34 ones not fitting

i've got a r33 one on mine, i nudged the exhaust on something when reversing once and it hit the transmission for a while but i bent it back a bit and now its ok

you may have to get an exhaust shop to tweak it a little

I fitted one up recently (SS R33 type), I found the top flange ok, but the bottom one was about 10mm inboard towards the trans and 5-10 mm shorter lengthways.

I had to rejig the hanger/mount near the trans crossmember with an S bend and some notched holes....

The flange was really close to the trans Xmember.

Pulled my rear muffler just under my bumper, was pretty bummed but couldnt be arsed with sending back accross the other side of the country to get the exact same piece.

My car has 80% more sad kitten sounds though.

Maybe it is the Chinese who are not making them properly.

I have a JJ copy of a Gready FFP. The one I got was perfect and nicely chromed. Others I hve heard that have had to be machined flat

for the gasket to seal. There was one at NIZPRO the other day and it was shit. Jeff was sending it back.

Here's a photo sent by a customer as the Flange on those dumps wasn't milled out 100% to dump pipe gasket. It would affect turbo's performance as the step is right at where the turbine wheel sits. Would defiantly require some di-grinding and welding before installation.

That is shitty. I got my stuff about two years ago and it was first class. Sorry to see such substandard stuff coming in.

But it is not just the automotive trade that is suffering.

My wife (Mrs 66) is an artist, a VERY GOOD ARTIST, and we have an Art Gallery on Mt. Tamborine. Chinese canvas print "art" is killing the market out here.Eight years ago there was 28 picture frame moulding manufacturers in China. Today there are seven. Cheap and nasty survives. Quality goes out the window.

Sh1t, I just ordered the wrong one off JustJap. I accidentally ordered the R34 model.

Luckily, I called in time and changed to the R32/R33/C34 model instead - same price too.

Don't make the same mistake I did, otherwise it will be a bit longer and won't fit!

I cant tell if thats worse than mine, checked the gasket against the opening and there wasnt more than a mm smaller.

Is that a JJR one too?

Yours actually looks like it fits ok :/

Yeah its an r33 jjr.

Iit fit 'ok', had to bash the metal inwards near the middle bolt down on the head side so you could get a socket on the bolt, and rejig the hanger at the gearbox xmember a little but apart from that, yeah...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
