Hi guys

I am putting a set of HPI dumps onto my RB26 (76.3mm outlet from memory) and have a Tomei Ti exhaust (90mm) from the cat back.

I'm trying to find a suitable set of front pipes that will match those sizes, and the only ones I can find are:

Pentroof:

http://www.nengun.com/pentroof/large-diameter-front-pipe

Midori:

http://www.nengun.com/midori-seibi/titanium-gtr-front-pipe

The thing is, I would prefer tuned length if at all possible - are these tuned length?

If not, is there anything else that would be suitable that is tuned length and matches my 76.3mm dumps and 90mm exhaust?

Cheers!

as scotty said it's not a manifold so just plumb it up as it fits. You're best bet is going custom but you might get lucky with an off the shelf part

I had the same setup, ended up getting some custom twin 76mm to 90mm front pipes as I couldn't find any off the shelf that size

Cheers Michael, have decided against the two I posted and will look for a custom job as well

Scott and Tim, sorry I'm lost on what you're talking about - I think you've misread my question - I'm not looking for advice on tuned-length vs non-tuned length pipes; thanks for the input anyway.

Well then you should pay $1500 to $2000 for those "Tuned length' pipes shipped from Japan and not ask our opinion. It's not like I know what I am talking about anyway...

I could make better pipes than those for under $500 in stainless, and they wouldn't drag on every speed hump you drive over.

So it's tuned length vs tuned design!

I missed the bit where the OP asked for opinions. I assume he wants tuned length because they sound so much nicer than non-tuned front pipes.

Do you have any examples of your front pipes out of interest Scotty? I could only see these pieces of art in this build thread. The turbo elbow particularly caught my attention.

I don't, mainly as I have never been asked to make them. Typically most GTR owners want 'brand name' parts I have found.

I assume Tony's outlet pipe looked a little 'wrong' to you, it was the only way a turbo that large would fit behind the PS pump without hitting the strut tower. A close up of the exterior of the pipe is interesting, but the inside was perfectly smooth, and it flowed the numbers... Again, not something a GTR owner would generally go for, it's not shiny enough, no matter how practical it is.

Most of the jap stuff is junk. Exhausts, catch cans, most fuel rails are junk designs. Aussie engineering could take it to the jap "bling" companies without batting an eyelid. Catalogue shopping is junk.

Bit late but your talking out of your piggaz

I think you need to ask the japs what they thought of our Aussie Godzillas before making that remark.

Maybe ask them what they had been taught from us......

Am I?

You bumped a 12 month old thread to tell me I'm an idiot! :/

The point I was trying to make is that you can't just flick through a trust/Nismo/HKS/whatever and pick parts and expect some awesome result.

An example. A SARD fuel rail. Looks pretty, duel entry single out. Sounds sweet yeah? The bloody piece of shit doesn't have a seat for the injectors to push up against. Waste of time.

Kakimoto Full Mega N1 exhaust. Looks mad with it's bit tough cannon. Has some 2 inch restrictor/"silencer"/taper down/whatever you want to call it in the rear muffler. You're so called "90 mm exhaust" now because a 50. Waste of farken time.

Tomei Expreme RB 26 stainless manifolds. Cost a fortune, look pretty. Made from shit stainless that crack and also offer no performance advantage. I've personally done a back to back. A mate has a Evo Tomei manifold sitting on his garage floor because they're cracked. Make a good paperweight though!

Two quick examples that quickly came to my head.

Have fun with your catalogues, mate!

His name says it all Piggy don't worry son! :)

Your cars results speak for themselves and i think the only Jap parts you have on it are the cooler and intake manifold?

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
