R32 GTR Nismo Front Pipe match for Dump Pipes

Hey all,

I'm a long time forum reader, but have only just signed up.😬

I have a simple question and hopefully one or some of you can assist.

I don't believe I found a definitive answer by searching, possibly as its not a common question or even possible.

Question:

I have a Nismo Front pipe, I believe the inlet is twin 2.5inch pipes into 3inch outlet.

I am presently removing factory twins to replace with -9/GTSS twins.

Naturally, this has made me consider upgrading/replacing the R32 GTR dumps.

I appreciate it's debatable if it's worth doing from a performance vs cost perspective when sitting around 300kw mark, but I thought I should explore anyway for due diligence.

Seeing as my front pipe is 2.5 inlets, what dump pipes would be suitable?

They all appear larger than 2.5inch, does this create an issue when bolting together or do I simply end up with an internal step down (lip)?

The closes match is the HKS ones, but from what I understand these are not recommended due to design/performance constraints.

In a perfect world, I would opt for a HPI dump or Tomei, but hence my question I am not sure if it's possible with a 2.5 inlet front pipe.

With all things considered, it makes me think to not bother with any, as I'm not interested in replacing my Nismo front pipe to accommodate dump pipes.

Perhaps factory dumps are the best for my intended purpose/power level of 300kw - 320kw?

On a side note if anyone has some 34 dump pipes, please can you kindly message me? 🙏 

Thanks in advance.

It's been a really long time since I've looked at the standard dumps, and you didn't mention a measurement for them, but from memory they are very small and probably one of those deliberately easy to fix restrictions that the car came with to keep it to "206kw". I remember the R34 ones were better but don't have their measurement handy either

I'd change them out for sure, the HPI ones are good price/performance and give a 76mm outlet, which I can see is larger than your 63mm front pipes but I don't see that causing a problem, the front pipes will just be the restriction.

Thanks for reply Duncan, really appreciate it. 

I believe the 32's are 54mm. The 34's are possibly 60mm from what I have read. But, don't quote me on that one.

Thank you also for confirming re dumps into front pipe as far as sizing is concerned.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
