howdy fellow vic members

well today I got my just jap dump/front pipe and high flow cat and me being the impatient kind wanna get this installed so I decided to call around a few place asking for quotes to just install these things for me. Now iv read and its 6 bolts on the turbo holding the dump/front pipes and flange and brackets underneath so thinking it will take only 30mins or so for a pro to do so I rang around.

now I understand its a small job so not many ppl wanna do it but just to try and squeeze extra money out of me they are all spinning shit about its a turbo of job. the turbo fas to come of to put the dump pipe on no matter how much I tell them no it doesn't they still don't listen and the lowest quote I got was $135 just to unbolt my stock pipes and bolt these up. :)

So I was wondering if there would be any one kind enough to install these for me? Ofcoarse you will be paid with a nice cold slab of beer :D

im in Rowville and work in the city and can come to you. Would love to get this done before this Friday for the night run im organizing.

Now its all factory setup atm but the bolts were undone 2 weeks ago when the turbo was removed to change manifold studs so im assuming undoing the bolts will be easy as and won't be jammed and rusted up.

Your help will be greatly appreciated :)

Yeah without a hoist its a LOT of dicking around mate.

It'll take half the time with one as you dont have to go up/down/up/down on a trolley jack. But it can be done (like all things)

I'd offer to help, but im too busy at the moment and wont be free before friday lol! Way too short time!

Don't be a tight ass, pay the $135, it's a bitch of a job without a hoist and those turbo bolts can be hard, can be tricky to get the heat shield to fit again too.

im a currie so its in my blood to be a tight ass :laughing-smiley-014:

but all sorted out. dads mate has a hoist i can use on saturday so ill take my time and do it. :rolleyes:

i didnt use a hoist to put my dump/front on. i just used a set of car ramps. no head f*kcs for me. was easy as. took about 1 hr all up. ash, if u need a hand yell out and ill give ya a hand.

I had mine fitted by an experiences mechanic.

1. You NEED a hoist for the car.

2. It will take around 2 hours to do the job if you know exactly what to do.

3. You may also need to bend the air con pipe (it is not a straight bolt on as JJR claims)

I can only assume that it will take some money to do this job unles you have friends in "high" places :rolleyes:

If you have/or can bring a jack and stands, we can do it in my garage :thumbsup:

thanks man ill just do it on saturday after we do the wheels. will be easier on the hoist and that way i can clean some oil near the gearbox aswell :rolleyes:

also when you say you had to bend you ac pipe could it be kinda like pushed out of the way or was it in the way alot that you had to bend it?

how much did you bend it?

thanks man ill just do it on saturday after we do the wheels. will be easier on the hoist and that way i can clean some oil near the gearbox aswell :rolleyes:

Yeah no worries man, will definitely be easier on a hoist!

There is a place up the road from my house where we can get the wheels done, unless you know somewhere thats good :thumbsup:

Talk more about it later!

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
