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

Adam

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

  • 3 weeks later...
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.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
