I am trying [in my amatuerish way] to install a split dump. But I notice that the split dump has no mounting hole for the wastegate actuator arm from the vacuum???? [is this what it is]. If there is no hole, can I use this dump??? The turbo is my std one with a GCG highflo job.

PS Didn't even notice this until I had half the inlet etc taken off.............doh!

The only turbo I've seen with the waste gate in the dump was from a Commode VLT (ie RB30ET). Stock RB2x turbo's have the waste gate built into the turbo exhaust housing. The answer to your question is that the new dump pipe you have won't work with that turbo......

surely you can just make it fit. e.g. bitta welding, dirlling etc whatever?

Thanks SteveL and Mr Italy..........

But to install a split dump pipe I would have thought that you would have to remove the rear housing for access to the exhaust and waste air?

Then you split them using the split dump, I'm getting a bit confused now!!!

The dump looks Ok except for no mounting hole, and Just Jap has the same kit advertised, so the split dump is definitely for a skyline.

The problem you have is that the new split dump is designed for a stock RB2x turbo with the wastegate dump valve built into the turbo exhaust housing. The turbo you show in the middle photo is not a stock RB2x turbo (at least none that I've ever seen....and that's more than a few).

Your turbo has the wastegate dump valve built into your existing dump...or that's the way it appears (in fact looking at the photo closely it appears you have some sort of aftermarket dump attached somehow to the original cast iron dump flange)....but it's a bit hard to see). In any event, the new split dump simply doesn't have provision for the wastgate valve arrangement you currently have.....and there's no way to fit it (easily).

I always thought it was a std turbo for a '98 Gtst, but I guess I'm wrong. Yes, the wastegate valve is built into the the cast iron dump flange housing. The dump pipe I have is an aftermarket one that came with the car, it bolts to the cast iron flange housing, it is not a split one, so I was hoping to upgrade, but I guess this will not happen [unless I also upgrade the turbo].

That is not a stock turbo for an R33.

It appears that you have highflowed something like a VL turbo, then to adapt the stock exhaust on (dont know why you would use a stock exhaust with a highflow but yeh) they have cut the dump pipe to suit that turbo, welded on a flange for the RB2x turbos, then bolted your dump onto that...

Infact, on closer inspection, it doesnt look like a stock dump pipe either...

Honestly, I cant tell just from that 1 photo. Its really weird, good luck though.

Its not a VL turbo as far as I know. It came from japan with that turbo.

GCG didn't say anything about the type of turbo when I had it hiflowed.

The invoice says GTS-T Turbocharger Part Nymber #713255-11 - if thats any help.

Can anyone post a pic of the rear of a std turbo?

Damn, learn something every day.........

I'd still like to know what turbo I have then [made 240rwkw with very good midrange before tomei cams], so must be half Ok?

Reckon i'll have to take it off and send it to GCG or somebody and see. Can't take it to anyone here, I'm the only skyline within a 100km.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
