Why are you so attached to that set of engine pipes?  You are compromising the whole system because of it.  I would sell them and buy the CES turbo to cat system, if money is the reason you want to keep them.  If money is not an issue go the Trust, they are a true work of art.

Either way I can asure you that the results will be worth it.;)

SK - what sort of improvement will the Trust front/dump pipe combo make over the standard dumps if your running bigger turbos??

Well I have seen a 25 rwkw increase and 400 rpm earlier boost build from an R32GTR running R34GTR (ball bearing) N1 turbos. That's with no boost increase, in fact there was a boost decrease as it obviously removed a restriction. And no extensivel re-tuning, just a couple of minor fuel and ignition timing changes. More advance as the boost was lower. This improved the response measurably, which is a welcome bonus.

mmm, sounds impressive...

Not so much interested in more power, but 400rpm earlier boost build???? I LIKE!!

Do you reckon this will be the case with Truck (Trust) turbos??? Being bush bearing, they may not respond aswell as the N1 ball bearing turbos??

I have no idea, I never use plain bearing turbos:cheers:

CES do a so called hks copy but also a long wastegated version similar to the trust ones. It requires different front pipe obviously.

*cough*

I believe CES calls these their "competition pipes" to distinguish them from the HKS-ripoff version they also sell (as pictured above)

PS. Nice sig SK :)

How about the flex join? Is that important in GTR's as most aftermarket jobbies have that flex for the front turbo.

IMHO -- and I have no evidence to back this up -- I think the flex joint is a very good idea. Anything the reduces the amount of movement exerted on "fixed" parts (ie. the turbos) is a good thing. Whilst the exhaust is mounted with rubber grommets to allow it to move about, the turbos aren't. Transmitting all that vibration without a dampening effect doesn't seem like a good idea IMHO.

williamsf1 said that the trust units he got recently had a flex joint, even though the press photos don't show one.

Yeah - would be a pain to get a crack in the pipe after completing the pr!ck of a job to get them on. I am going in on the group buy for the trust front pipes - was thinking if they dont come with the flex join I will just get one put in.

I still think that as internal wastegated turbos go, the TRUST units are by far the best (may not be the cheapest) and as it is a biatch of a job, doing it once seems to save money in the long run....

Hey marcus! did you see the pics I took for you of the R34 wheels ;)

ahhh .... got my car finally and guess what, after all that it has mines dumps allready.... i think i'll keep them for the time being until i have done a few other things to the car i would like to first and that will take priority to these at this stage, plus i'd like to see what power i get with these and the rest of the system and then if i can, compare it to a gtr with trust front and n1s and compare them.

will keep the trust pipes in mind though.

thanks everyone for your opinions and advice.

i was in a position to buy either the hks dumps or the trust long dumps as i was also upgrading the exhaust...

i was informed that the long wastegate pipe on the trust systems create more lag, now i dont know how true this is although i was told by a dyno tuner that works on a lot of gtr's

i bought the x-force (hks copies) for only $450 for the pair via crd in sydney.

pls don't take as gospel :)

More lag? I would love to hear what the theory behind that is? I have heard it mentioned that in very high power applications that a (larger) non-split pipe design has some advantages Regardless, the vast majority of people will never get anywhere near those power levels.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
