has anyone here tried to upgrade the old stock dump/front with a new 3" dump/front combo from BATMBL ??

im having major dramas, everything should be fine but did anyone have any problems bolting it on ??

I cannot seem to get the frigging nuts on, they just wont fit. I dont know how nissan ever got these things on the nuts keep hitting the exhaust housing of the turbo !!

well if they are anything like the rb25 turbo ... there should be 2 studs out of the turbo adn 3 bolts that go into the housing ... there should only be the 2 nuts and they are on the back side of the exhaust dump.

Yes it's the same as the RB25DET - and it is Damn fiddly. I ended up shearing a bolt off - and one bolt wouldn't go in the whole way - I ended up just leaving it - Seems to work fine with 2 less bolts ;):)

get under the car to get the 2x nuts off ..

top ones just socket them or use a ring spanner if needed.

I didn't find it too hard, other than 2 snapped bolts, but they were the original bolts and nearly 15 years old.

I didn't really notice too much difference with the dump at all, but there might be a bit more power there. Haven't got it dynoed so don't know.

yea getting the old dump off was a bitch, especially the 2 nuts off the bottom. In the end i have the top 2 and middle 2 bolt screwed in real tight with no nuts on them at all and just the bottom two bolts with nuts on them. I don't even understand how nuts would ever fit on those other 4 bolts, unless they faced the other way which they wont do. Currently the bottom 2 have the head of the bolt (if there was a head) facing the exhaust housing whereas the other 4 have the head facing the dump pipe end. Does this sound right to you guys ?

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
