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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
