Do NISMO make tuned equal length front pipes?? that would make for an interesting discussion

Because 21k for an exhaust..... or $11k for an oil cooler or 7k for an aluminium pipe with a single weld. All of which is available from other suppliers for 1/10th the cost and which are equal too

Just curious, why do the group A R32 Gtr such as the Calsonic and Gibson motorsports have the hard pipes then? I thought the hard pipes gave less flex compared to stock rubber and had better merger Y pipe before going into intercooler?

Do the twin turbo pipe mod for $100. Put the other $1800 elsewhere... Like a front diff.

If it's good enough for 470 kW on -5's it's good enough for you.

The value for money here is NOT worth it, especially early on.

Waiting for you to sell me your modded twin turbo pipe LOL.

Race cars are ALWAYS bad examples of what to do on a street car when driveability comes into question

OK, so recently installed the Nismo inlet pipes on my car and thought I'll post some thoughts. First of all, it's very shiny, does give the engine bay more bling. It sounds slightly louder with air rushing in, could also be the air box without the snorkel as my attempt to melt the stock snorkel to fit back failed miserably.

Now I've only given it a bit of drive so these are only initial bum of the pants fell. Couldn't tell much difference under 4000 rpm, but from 4.5-5k and higher it does seem to go a bit harder, maybe a tiny increase in power but not a massive difference. Checked the ebc and boost seems to go a bit higher. My ebc is set to 19psi and can overboost some time to 20-21psi. After the Nismo pipes the peak shows 22.3psi, so I think boost has gone up maybe 1psi after install. Didn't notice any turbo shuffle on my -5s and my car is mildly tuned to around 310-320rkw.

Now before people flame me, like I said these are only initial thoughts, I will be going to dyno the car soon so hopefully will be able to see if there are any actual differences at all ( will be on same dyno ). Is it better than the modifed twin turbo pipe? I don't know, could've net the same gain if any, it certainly looks better thank stock pipe.

So in conclusion no real negatives (on my setup anyway) besides a burning hole in my wallet. If anyone is interested I might do a write-up with photos.

Would love to see a back to back...

Probably extra 5kW gain, works out about 1kW = $400 lol

Yeah back to back be good, make sure the ambient temp is roughly the same both days and tyres are inflated properly.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
