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?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
