Hi folks,

I've been having a hard time finding some concrete information regarding front pipe compatibility between the BNR34, BCNR33, and BNR32 front pipes.  From the research I've done, I see some people say that the BNR34 front pipe is 2" shorter than the BCNR33 BNR32's and that the exhaust system needs to be pulled closer to the front pipe to fit or a longer cat can be used.  I've also found that some people say that fitment is all the same.  I ask as I'm interested in a MINES front pipe and most the ones I see for sale on yahoo auctions say they are for BNR34 but they note they are compatible with the BCNR33 and BNR32.  When I go on the MINES website it isn't clear either as there's no part number listed that differentiates between the models.  Basically, can anyone confirm that a front pipe from a BNR34, or BNR32 for that matter, will bolt up to my factory cat converter on my BNCR33 or do I need an extension of some sort?  Maybe the front pipes and cat's are all the same length, but the exhaust is longer on the BNCR33 which in that case all would be good. 

There's also a used Midori Seibi pipe on yahoo auctions right now but the sound of an equal length pipe is memorizing which is why I'm looking for a MINES Pro.  I know Fujitsubo and Reimax also make isometric pipes as well. 

Thank you all!

Definitely 32 - 34 the same. Go to RHDjapan and check it out, same part number. I'm assuming your talking about the twin 70mm/single 80mm front pipe. 63mm to 85mm, 2-bolt flanges generally have a 105mm bolt hole centre spacing, which is the standard dump pipe, front pipe and cat sizes. Nearly everything uses this size for the bolt on stuff.

But bolt hole spacing of flanges change if you go near the twin 75mm/single 90mm pipes though (like the Midori Seibi 90mm). 3.5" / 90mm flanges generally go up to a 118mm bolt hole spacing, meaning different cat flanges and cat back flange.

A 90mm, 2-bolt, 105mm bolt hole centre exhaust flange does exist, but I am yet to see any bolt on stuff use it.

Awesome, thank you Ben for the thorough answer.  And you're right, I'm talking about the twin 70mm/single 80mm front pipe.  I also just found a RSR equal length pipe that I'm interested in and it's exactly the same 70mm/80mm setup.  I'll just get it all and bolt it up.  I bet that Midori 90mm setup is sweet though, but man the sound of the equal length is awesome.  Midori is only an hour away from me though hmmmm haha.  Next is outlets and am leaning towards the Tomei to mate with the 80mm front pipe.

Appreciate all the help, cheers and have a great weekend!

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
