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?

      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.
