I have an R34 GTR (not v-spec) and I've got a cat back exhaust and am looking at getting the following dump/front pipe kit from nengun:

http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/extention-front-pipe

There are two options for the r34's though, one with a flange attachment and one with an exhaust temp sensor attachment. I know that the v-spec's MFD display's exhaust temp so I'm assuming that the one with the exhaust temp sensor attachment is for v-spec's and the flange attachment for non v-spec's. Could someone please confirm whether this is the case or not before I charge up the credit card???

Please don't flame me for the noob question but I've searched and found conflicting results. Some say r34 gtr's come with ceramic turbo's and others say ball bearing. Could someone please clarrify this?

Much Appreciated,

Stick

Cheers for that R31Nismoid.

Is this a good dump/front kit or are there better kits on the market? I guess the answer to that question probably lies with my goals for the car...

I'm after approx 300awkw for my first stage of mods as I can't afford to do internals yet. I've got a cat back exhaust but everything else is stock. I bought a boost controller yesterday and am waiting for that to arrive and am just about to order a power fc and the dumps/front kit but would greatly appreciate any opinions on the quality of dump/front kit. I've done a bit of research and everyone seems to say that split dumps are the way to go and to stay away from the hks dumps as they are just too short.

I had this exact Trust front/dump setup on my R34 GTR. I didn't really like it in the end. The quality is fine but its the logistics of using the Trust items which is the painful part.

It makes the engine a bitch to put back in if you fit them while the engine is out. If you're going to track the car, pulling the engine out to fit baffles in the sump is almost mandatory.

It comes too close to the firewall and you lose your aircon rubber outlet hose because it touches.

They make changing O2 sensors next to impossible on the car.

On my current GTR i've decided to ditch the whole split pipe idea and have got Tomei dumps. The quality on the Tomei items is an order of magnitude better than the Trust pipes. If you're only going for 300kw then split pipes aren't going to make much of a difference in my opinion.

As for your original question - you need the R34 GTR one without the exhaust temp sensor bung (11920301 BNR34) since you have a non-vspec. I bought the wrong ones originally and had to pay $40 to get the sensor bung welded on mine. Oh wells.

If you do buy these - my advice is to exhaust wrap the whole lot. The temps on the track can get really high back there.

they are quite simply the best front and dump combination available for power extraction (up to 470+rwkw with T618z in the past), i have used them alot and they work better than both HKS and TOMEI equivalents... there are a few tricks to living with them but the results are well worth it.

Cheers for the input guys.

I probably should start a new thread but what the hell... To complete my breathing mods I'd like to put in some pods and was looking at the apexi super suction kit but I'm not sure which one to get as there is the standard one and the z32 version. I guess my question is in future when I have more power and I'm required to replace my AFM's can I just buy the standard super suction kit and put nismo AFM's in later or would I have to get the z32 version??? I'm trying to avoid upgrading the AFM's straight away as they're quite expensive and not necessary with the current power output.

BTW I'm going to go ahead and get the trust dump/front kit...

Dont forget to buy exhaust wrap then!

If you only want 300kw then you can leave your standard AFM's and buy the normal Apexi pods. Even if you decide to upgrade later you can buy Nismo AFM's and keep the same Apexi pods.

To be honest though, I had more than 300awkw and used the standard airbox and standard AFM's on my 34 GTR and was not running into problems.

Yes my AFM's maxed out but a competent tuner can work around it. Probably less than ideal but it works.

on a related topic... :D anyone used the hks dumps / front pipe on gtr ?? i was looking at getting them

Lots of people do. It's a fairly common choice.

They are really nicely built and lots of people make good power on them. What else do you want to know?

So is the advantage of getting the super suction kit over the power intake the fact that the super suction uses a hard pipe where as the power intake uses the existing stock pipe??? Sorry bout all the noob questions but I just don't want to get it wrong...

Where could I get some exhaust wrap from. I live in the N.T. and we don't have the facilities and resources that larger cities have.

Be careful when ordering the Apexi super suction kit as i have ordered mine from nengun in August and i still haven't received it!! They said Apexi has gone bankrupt and are taking their sweet arse time

I hope they don't take that long with my power fc cos I just ordered it yesterday! Would greenline have the same issues as nengun as they just order on demand direct from apexi?

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
