if it further helps ontop of boosted_r32's comment... i had a set of xforce extractors on my civic... and they fit perfectly.

Everything was perfect from O2 sensor location to original bracket locations.

and the difference they made... well worth money spent! im sure the dumps are gonna be just as good!

How hard is it to fit dump pipes yourself?? Whats involved?

Hoist

Lots of tools

Full day if you've never done it before

You gotta pull the rear dump etc off, then the rear turbo, then the front dump, put the dump on and re-assemble.

You can do it on a trolley jack, but it takes forever as you have to go from over/under the motor on many occasions.

Simply put, if your not a good hands-on person, a GTR dump swap out is a workshop job as it’s a fair mongrel of a job.

Once you've done it a few times you can peg it back to a few hours, but you wont do it in a few hours off the bat IMO

Im about to put my turbos back on with X-force dumps. Thing is.. it doesnt look like my exhaust pipe from the dumps to the cat will line up with the x-force at all.

Anyone else have this prob?

Im pulling off stock turbs with stock dumps and the pipe is a 3-inch something or other. I assume its also stock

to r31 gagz, were you running stock or aftermarket dumps?, and are adj cam gears more worthwhile than cams?i want close to what you have on a safe tune...oh and were you using power fc d-jetro, or just normal? we got a good tuner here,and im about to buy an aftermarket ecu....

thanks.

im currently changing my dump in my gtr as well. however i couldnt get it right. the problem is when i compare the stock front and rear dump pipe, they are in fact not the same shape. but the stainless pair i have just bought is in the same shape. the stainless pair is identical. does this sound right? or are they supposed to be different in shape (the aftermarket ones)? the problem im facing now is the rear dump pipe is in the way of the gearbox housing.

when i look closer to the stock manifold i can see that they are not the same too. is that right? if yes does that means im having this problem now becoz i put the rear manifold on the front and vise versa?

plz help guys. any info would be appreciated. thanks :)

well you are half right. dump pipes are different front to rear but the manifolds are the same. If both dump pipes are the same there is a problem.

I had a really crap set of ebay pipes recently that also fouled on the gearbox. very frustrating they were on and off about 5 times to be modified, grinding the end off studs, bashing the wastegate pipe to clear the rear intake etc etc.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
