Hi all,

Going to install some T517z's on my gtr and havent made up my mind which dumps to use. Ive seen SK posted that some dumps will interfere with the actuators on the T517z, but ive also seen posts where people are using HKS and Xforce dumps on them. URAS aparently used stock dumps on his T517z engine.. but ive been unable to confirm.

Im told that dump upgrades are one of those "must do" mods, for the gtr. Everything else is in place to make 300kw so all i need is the dumps, or to port the ones I already have...

Suggestions?

Cheers,

Ian

I'll add that the car already has a nismo front pipe, so id prefer to not have to change that to the trust setup with the crazy long trust dumps that i have also seen. Just replacing the dumps is all i really want to do... if thats whats recommended.

Nismoid, are you interested in a genuine Nismo front pipe as a partial swap for the trust dumps and front pipe? What are you selling them for?

Anyone else want to let me know whats going to fit...

keep the nismo pipes, they are very nice. the only ones I've seen that I liked more are the current model HKS ones which are welded on the inside. and have larger 70mm primaries instead of the 60 or 65 the nismo ones are.

there is really only one choice for GTR dumps at the moment I reckon. TOMEI. very nice. big open design. proper 70mm outlet (not 60odd like HKS ones), big open bell mouth so little to no chance of your wastegate flap hitting anything either.

here are some pics of a set I bought a few years ago when they first started doing this type.

in fact I may even have a set lying around I can part with if you need some in a hurry.

Thanks Beer Baron. I do like the tomei ones they look very nice. Im not in a hurry at the moment to do the turbo and dump pipe swap, though if you do want to sell what you have let me know a price?

So is the problem with other aftermarket dumps pipes used with T517z's the the wastegate flap valve interfering with the dump pipes that have a seperate wastegate port? Like the hks ones? Why couldnt that be fixed with a die grinder, or can it be?

If only i had one of everything ever made I could see what fits with what...

correct me if I am wrong but my understanding of the Trust T517z is that the wastegate itself swings in the other direction ( Not a Gay joke ) which is why the dump pipes that have a split dump pipe eg type that has a seperate pipe for wastegate exhaust cannot be used....Thats my understanding

I belive your are 100% correct, thats what i read in a Zoom mag ages ago when they put them on a GTR (not that you should take Zoom as gospel lol)

Well here is a pic of one of my T517z 8m turbo's. I guess i just need to find a HKS GTSS/GT2530 for comparison now...

I just checked my friends Garrett 2871 and the flap does in fact go the opposite way.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
