Recommended Posts

SoFly,

The bulk of the parts were delivered yesterday evening and many will get sent out midday tomorrow. You will get your items on Friday since you are in Sydney. Anyone thats not in Sydney will likely get their items on Monday onwards. Most pipes/cats will be sent tomorrow, and some on Friday and Monday next week. I will update the list tomorrow regarding which member's parts were sent out and continue to update it until all have been sent.

Thank you all for being so patient.

cheers guys

any1 have trouble fittin the r34 split pipes? the end where it connects to the cat curves up too much, it lifted my catback too high and its grinding on the body of my cat........needed to cut that curve section off and rewelded a straight pipe instead of curvy

hi guys,

I apologise for the delay in getting the rest of the pipes/cats out early this week. Its been a nightmare getting them to me since they are being made one by one interstate and the delivery of these parts will come in one hit. Ive been promised delivery of all the remaining pipes and cats in the GB tomorrow (should have been monday!!!), so i will get them all packaged and sent out on Thursday and update the list on the 2nd post of this thread. Again i apologise for the inconvenience this causes to some.

cheers

Yes same problem with mine (R34 sedan). Very snug fit but tilts up too much at the cat end and flang touches heat shield where cat sits. Also the rear bracket is slighly off and only one hole aligns. Will it make a difference if this heat sheild is removed? Or is it recommended to keep this shield behind the cat only??

But is does look like it will fit when this problem is fixed.

Also snapped off top bolt in turbo exhaust manifold :D any suggestion how to remove this without removing the turbo to do so??

Help appreciated. :D

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post that I got a stainless split front/dump and metal cat from Michael a few months ago in one of the other group buys. Finally fitted it on Friday.

Very impressed, there has been a noticable increase in power, it spools louder and it seems that there is none of the choking at high rpm like before (used to feel like the engine was struggling to breath at high rpm)

Installed easily, only two issues - needed to go and buy new bolts for the cat - as the r32 gtst cat bolts are studs with threaded holes. and had to replace one of the bolts that goes into the turbo with a shorter bolt, as i couldnt fit the original one back in as the wastegate pipe was in the way. Other than that easy as install...

hmm... i've finally paid for my split pipe, not too keen on this "not fitting quite right" business :P

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
