hey guys, i was just wondering if you think twin dump pipes are worth the extra money, i was quoted $650 for a painted mild steel one of CES. Now i was wanting a stainless steel twin dump pipe and that would be even more extra $$$ ?

i have a cat back exhaust on already and just upgrading the cat and dump pipe.

im goin to be puttin on a twin dump pipe soon ,

i have been to CES racing at the second toll way headin towards coast

and was quoted highflow cat and twin dump for 930

even though they mite do a great job , i think its a bit expensive .

i have thought about it and im gettin the twin dump at exotic exhaust down at sumner park

jijaws street.

they can do twin dump pipe for around 400 bucks, and their work is quality shit.

i have looked at my engine and lookin at the stock dump pipe, how much restriction is there is eye opening.

goin a 3 inch dump pipe or a twin dump pipe, your goin to notice some difference.

im just goin twin dump pipe, as exhaust gas and turbo excess is goin out seperate pipes

and apperantly suppose to flow better.

Also CES racing quotin 24kw extra at the wheels is in my opinion, and not sure if its true or not, sounds a bit over the top. (considering you dont have a full 3 inch exhaust to start with.)

hope it helps a smidge, just what i have learnt over the time thinkin bout it.

CES dont do a stainless steel twin dump pipe, hmmm i would of liked one myself :) is there any major differance between the coated and non coated versions?

They sent me some pictures and some of the twin dump pipes look to be in stainless :s ... maybe just not in the r33 gtst.

there reason for this is because they cant get a stainless steel tubing the right size for the waste gate (1.5' I.D) and the I.D of the main pipe is 2.875 which would equate to 3" :P pretty much. i really didnt want to mix mild steel with stainless. thats my main concern.

any ideas :s

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
