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.

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
