I have read the many forums about the pro's of doing this mod, so I bought myself a spare pipe from Ebay and had the divider put in.

Does it feel any different? Not sure. The weather is cold so it's very responsive anyway at the moment.... Might be placebo effect but it feels more punchy from 2-3.5K. On boost feels the same.

My question is:

Did you notice the turbo spool noise inside the cabin become more pronounced? I noticed that the turbo's "sound" quite different inside the cabin. Slightly more whiney/whizzy i suppose.

Since your car makes a million horsepower If it's good enough for you it's good enough for me

It's a very lazy design from Nissan, regardless. It makes a huge difference. I have done a back to back test with Marko_R1's car. 3.0 and -10's. Without it, it chided like a steam train. With it, 90% of the shuffle went away. GT-RS's suck dick either way, but that is a first hand experience.

There are NO downsides to doing this mod.

Would be good to see a before and after dyno run if anyone has done it.

+1, or even a flow check/pressure drop measurement of each.

Downside could be lower bang for buck than some other mod, when using smaller non-shuffling turbos. Piggaz - would you do this on a car with stock turbos? -7s?

Was planning to do a before and after on Daz's car, as he plans to run one if it helps with flow. Should help even on a stock car as the front turbo entry is pretty bad.

Cheap and inconspicuous, I like those kind of mods.

Micko's old man just threw this pipe on his -9/stock engine GTR. From the seat of the pants it feels a little more linear.

If you look at the pipe, the front turbo air is basically "merging" at a right angle to the incoming air from the rear huffer.

I believe Sean Morris did a back to back years ago. He was claiming 8-10 hp increase from memory. Have a search online. You should be able to find it. I can't remember the turbo setup he tested it on though.

Just do it, put it on and forget about it.

here's a picture of my first gtr back in 2004, it had a polished cusco hot pipe and from memory it was very well made and I'm pretty sure when I looked inside it the merge was better than 90 degrees more like 45 degrees and it looked just a smidge bigger in diameter also.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
