Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the process of collecting parts for a AWD RB26/30, and just wondering if anyone has used the trust extension frontpipe with the conversion? I've got a BNR32 and a set of Trust extension frontpipes from a R33 or R34( not sure exactly, but I am 100% sure that the R32 O2 sensors don't fit and I will be getting some bushings to thread them in correctly).

I do not currently have these pipes fitted, I'm mainly trying to save myself from buying 400-600 dollars for a set of new turbo elbows or paying someone to fab a new set of downpipes. I have seen posted before that the R33/R34 frontpipes sit a little lower and that you can't run a R32 frontpipe on a R33/34 as it hits the floorboards. Is there any truth to this?

Just figured I would ask and see if anyone had tried it before. Thanks for any input or suggestions!

I have trust extension dumps on my raised deck rb26. If you install your RB30 10mm lower on the k-frame then they will fit, but you will need to chop and re-weld the y pipe a little.

The other side of it is though, I believe they are holding my engine back. A set of 3" midori dumps and a 3" to 3.5" front pipe would be a better option for any RB30 engine.

Thanks for the quick reply. :cheers:

I understand what you are saying about the split dump versus the large single dump. I can probably get a set of 76mm HPI dumps for a decent price, but I'm still stuck modifying the exhaust. Do any companies make or have available dumps for the 26/30? I tried multiple searches on google buy couldn't find much.

Many thanks for the info.

If you go custom, use pre-made 3" dumps and just get the Ypipe made custom.

Chopping up someone elses 3" to 3.5" system and adding a little material/altering the bend angles is easier and will cut down on fabrication time.

Many thanks for the replies.

I will probably do as you suggest and just have them alter the downpipe I currently have fitted and just buy a set of HPI 76mm dumps. A 70mm X 2 --->80mm equal length shouldn't have problems with flow should it?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
