Does anyone know if the Stagea has a different standard exhaust to the R33 GTST just up to the catalyic convertor. The reason being is that Im looking at buying a pre-fabricated dump pipe and high flow cat from the following thread or similar and wondering if it will fit the Stagea as well or if our exhaust/floorpan/firewall is too different.

Same, if I remember rightly there are 3 guys using R33 GTST engine pipes. I am using an R32 GTST combo (split dump and engine pipe in one) on mine. The part numbers are the same from a couple of Jap suppliers. Don't know about the cat, but I can't see any reason why it would be different.:)

Hey Lone and SK

Good info - was looking at that Cat and dump pipe thread myself .... now for the dumbass question SK... If mine is a Series 2 stagea should I be ordering the R34GTT front/dump pipe or the R33 one Lone is getting???? I hate being so unknowledgable about cars :)

Cheers

Thanks so much for that sk :rofl:  

Brazen: I would imagine the R34GTT would be the one to go for..

Thanks Lone

trying to do the math... that sale thread works out at $500 for the CAT and dump... plus been quoted around $750 fitted for an HKS 3" Superflow exhaust (Stagea specific) from a tune shop here... $1250 before paying for pipe/cat fitment

The tune shop doing the zaust quoted around $1400 all up for zaust and 3" dump/front and high flow cat... I think being a car noob Im probably better of paying the extra $150 to have everything done and warrantied by my tune guys (itd prob cost that for the CAT/pipe fitment anyway?).

I am on a steep learning curve with all this stuff - but for $1400 turbo-back including HKS zaust might just go ahead with that quote... sound ok???

Seeming I already have the cat-back done I am now only needing the turbo to cat and cat replaced now so these items are starting to look a better priced to me then the local muffler shop I go to..

$250 (dump) + $190 (cat) + $20 = $460

The local shop was $660 for it all to be done, I can get the fitting done for practically free here at work so thats no issue, so Im looking at a $200 saving..

Then I guess the real issue is if it cracked etc. I would be going to the muffler shop and they would charge me for it whereas if it were their own they would probably do it for free..

So the real question is whether the $200 saving will be really worth it or not, also there could still be the slight chance it may not fit whereas I know the local muffler shops will :D

Hi guys, I prefer split dumps (one pipe for wastegate and one for turbine) over combined and the longer they are separated the better. So I never buy a separate dump and an engine pipe, the dump is too short to have long enough separation. I use combined dump and engine pipe that way the separation can be really long to keep the wastegate turbulance away from the turbine exit.

This is the CES one;

Hope that helps:cheers:

I ended up going a full custom made job. 3 inch turbo back, through a 3 inch cat (that I supplied), then resonator and rear muffler. All mandrel bends etc..

Sounds nice, has a very nice rumble at idle, but has no drone when cruising.

Mine costed $950 if I remember right.

I have a Performance Metalcraft (work of art) split dump and engine pipe combo in stainless steel. It is wrapped in Thermoctec back to the cat. The cat is a Magic 4" stainless. The exhaust is a nice, quiet no name, low stainless content, 80mm Jap brand that came off the R32 GTST. It has a large resonator and a huge rear muffler. I have to lengthen it after the diff as the Stagea is longer than the R32. Total cost $1400. :D

PS; I am going ot be using a Trust 95 mm titanium on the R32GTST, as the RB31DET will need it.

Man we got alot of pages of Stagea threads now - finding this exhaust thread took some digging!

*puts down shovel

Stumbled across this list of Stagea specific exhausts from Japan...

Also got tabs to other typesof parts too

Does anyone know of a place that sells the split engine/dump (like the image posted by SK) pipes for the Neo? I have been looking around for about a week and have only found them for r32/r33.

It looks like BATMBL doesn't even have them...

CES in QLD do them definitely (as SK wrote above the pic :P ) - I was gonna get some last month - also the best dumps going around! Around $600, plus $120 or $150 for ceramic coating I think it was.

:P

Ahh... I looked on their site but obviously didn't look hard enough. I will contact them and see what they say.

$600 seems a bit expensive compared to the prices of the normal (non-split) ones though.

Yup it is alot - so something ud be doing if your really going for optimum power with your exhaust setup... they are the best - but how much do you pay for the best... its up to each individual. I prob wouldnt bother with front dumps until I had the cash for the CES splits though. My mate just fitted his to his GTR and they ARE that good... but yeah - its still $600.

As for the R34 split dumps on their website - might not be there cant remember - newer product... I know I had to email them about it.

:P

The flange mounts will be the same, although the reason why they list a R33 and a R34 front/dumps would be because of the different floor pan. So the bends and where the front pipe mounts to the cat may be different between the R33 and R34's..

Soooo, as the Stagea series 1 and 2's share the same floor pan then the front/dumps pipes will be the same.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
