Does anyone know approx how much or where to buy turbo to cat exhaust?

I was told mine was turbo back but i had a look (should have done this before i actually bought the car) and its only cat back --> pointless

It is 3 1/2 cat back, does anyone know how much to complete this (turbo to cat?)

and if it is worthwhile doing that or just buying the complete turbo back setup?

Cheers

forget jastjap search ebay you can pick up a front pipe 3" for around 200 dollars delivered and the buy the dump pipes from jastjap for 400 or so total 600approx jast jap are selling the complete kit on ebay for 1000. save yourself some dollars.

now i have been told you only need 3 inch to the cat then 3.5 inch after becaues after the gasses cool down they need the extra .5" room to flow, thats what i have been told. i am open to any other suggestions or ideas on this one...my thought was as gasses heat up they expand as they cool they become denser

I've got a used 3" dump and a 3" titanium front pipe available if you dont want to spend alot. Why did I remove them??

Can't tell a lie I removed them to install a Batmbl one piece split dump/front pipe...very nice and great value.

if you are talking about r32/r33 gtst dump pipe and front pipes, then i sell them for $395 (mild steel) and $450 (stainless steel). much cheaper than any of the options above.

these are the split wastegate systems, not the ones with a single large hole at the dump. it is a dump pipe and a front pipe in one piece, not 2 seperate parts which will require an extra gasket and a possible future exhaust leak at that point on the exhaust.

the wastegate pipe on the split dump pipe (2 piece systems) is too short to be effective in reducing turbulence. you need at least 35-40cm seperation before they re-join.

im in a similar situation as you, stock dump/front and huge cat back exhaust. had a look around and saw BATMBL's pipe. looks just as good as any other and got him to ship one to me just last week. will hopefully be getting it put on this week.

honestly i was quite surprized at the quality. i was so excited i showed my mate and even he was amazed at what i got for the price i paid. i cant wait to get it on!

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
