Hi guys, I'm building my r33 gtr and going single turbo. The 3 inch rsr exhuast I have will be removed to make way for a 3.5 inch system from the 4 inch dump. I am planning to order flanges, pipe, mandrel bends ect and tackle it myself. I have a 130amp mig and a metal cut of saw which will more than be up for the job. And I of course will be doing this in my garage on jack stands so its going to be a tight fit ;)

Out of curiosity how many of you have tackeled this before on their own, and could you guys give any useful advice. One thing I am uncertain of is if I should start from the back and work my way to the front?

I will update this thread with more pics once I start dummy fitting the manifold and dump and starting on the thing.

I haven't done it but I have spent a fair bit of time under cars and I really recommend you get some ramps, it will be so much more stable and reliable than stands. It scares me to think of what can happen - bumped car, freak earthquake and it's all over. Ramps are really handy too, even doing oil changes is so much easier with ramps. I bought a pair off ebay for $30.

Yea, defiantly. I actually use truck stands which can lift just that little bit higher and a lot more stable along with a few cinder blocks under the wheels for some added security. I was actually looking for some car dealer ramps for sometime as well without any luck. Conventional ramps won't give me the height that I need unfortunately.

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
