Yeah i agree i just had a good dump! Feel so much lighter! :D

Great news on the car Pete i think thats the least they coulda done being the high end customer you were! Your build wasn't exactly a budget build so why they left pieces of the puzzle out like dump pipes etc before the tuning process was beyond me?!

haha, you bad :)

Probably going 4" would be better but at least it will be 3.5" all the way should eliminate a bit of the back pressure he had when tuning it. It was an offer I could not refuse and I appreciated it :thumbsup:

Looking alot better.

Yeah exhaust is key - gotta get rid of the hot gas somehow.

I was going to go with the 4" dump and cat, but could not knock this offer back.

I did not mind having the 3.5" exhaust system back from the Cat as it was built to flow and once the gases got to the exhaust it would be cooling a little.

Soon find out how the 3.5" goes, maybe a week before it's done ?

You'll be fine with 3.5 all the way.

Will be excellent.

Thanks, do you really think that 1/2 an inch will make that much difference, there is a step down from the turbo to the dump and a step up from the cat to the exhaust. I guess it would have to be restrictive.

I have heard said that an 1" makes all the difference but never knew what they were talking about :)

Some rough calcs

Area of a 3 inch is 28.2 in 2

Area of a 3.5 inch is 38.4 in 2

Area of a 4 inch is 50.2 in 2

From 3 to 3.5 is 36% larger.

when it is put that way it is pretty impressive ?

what does 38.4 in "2" mean

He only got a rebuilt bottom end and some diffs put in, would hardly call it high end.

Not to take anything away from a 3.2 stroker of course

haha, a little bit more work than that, but not finished yet :)

Of course there is a lot holding this together but without nuts and bolts.

Nitto 3.2./ RB30

PT6262 CEA

9Lt sump conversion

supertech 1mm OS valves and stuff

head cleaned up

custom UE 260 10.8 cams etc

Koyorad radiator

Splitfire coils

ID 1300 injectors

Custom catch tank

Haltech ECU Platinum Pro R34GTR

Flex fuel sensor

HKS EVC 6 Boost Controller

3.5" dump,cat and custom high flow stainless exhaust ( 3.5" cat and dump now going in the car)

Nismo slave cylinder

coppermix twin C Spec

Quaife front diff

Modified Transfer case

Nismo 2-way LSD

Next to do after I get over this lot is,

CAI pod cover

Twin Walbro intank surge tank and fuel lines etc

Full Flex tune.

I know there are shit loads more you can do to your car to call it a top end build, but for a DD it is a pretty strong build that you can drive to church or get you to heaven, real quick, or HELL :/

I thought the turbo setup and fuel system was already on it for some reason!

The Turbo was on. Left a lot of boltons on the car and have been upgrading them as needed.

I had no idea when I started this I would go to this stage :ban:

They told me the fuel delivery was starting to be a problem, especially if I go for E85 and wanted to turn the wick up. Then, the surge tank would be a good idea. I am sick of worrying once I get down to 1/4 tank if I am playing.

Going to end up with a jumble sale of parts soon and all of them are near new :)

I would say a surge tank is a necessity even on a tuned 26 with good rubber. All it takes is one fuel starvation event and your engine is gone. Not worth the risk to be honest.

That will be getting done very soon, just have to get this sorted , then get the parts and book it in :)

Rubber is pretty good, 265/35 x 18 AD08Rs , they really grip!

LOL @ this guy! Are you serious mate? I don't know what Petes bill was BUT it'd have to be starting at $30K+ im pretty sure thats enough to be classed as a high end customer!

Sure there is blokes/GTRKAT that throw bucket loads more money at those blokes than Pete did does that mean he deserved a car that wasn't setup right from the beginning does it?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
