Again ,looking around what upgrade to do to my car(cheap is the name of the game)I crossed myself with this 3" dump/front pipe ,I like the flexible part (should make fitting a bit easier).the thing is ,are R33 and stagea S2 dump/front pipes compatible????????

love the random 2.5" to 3" jump... i have seen these in person and wouldn't fit one to my car.

i also think the 2-3" jump is a bit dodge. but to answer your question, i have a cheapo R33 dump pipe on my s2, just had to change the angle of the long straight piece so it met up with the cat ok. that flexi section may help with this, i cant remember how much i had to change the angle but those flexi pieces only bend slightly.

excuse me if this seems like a stupid question, but i realise everyone wants the dump and front pipe to make up the "turbo back" system, but i was just wondering what about extractors???? does anyone have them or are they no real improvement once you've got the dump pipe hanging off the turbo?

just curious ppls

cheers, Bradd

you mean an exhaust manifold.

maybe one day I'll grab a decent brand name stainless steel mig welded 2nd hand item off ebay (around $450US)

same goes for the intake manifold, one day would like a Greddy plenum, rerouting the fmic as neccesary

Hi all,

Just wondering, of those of you that have fitted a large hi-flow cat' (the round stainless style with 3" flanges and 4" or 5" body), how close does your cat' sit to the ground? My ride height is currently about 395mm centre to guards and I already have too little clearance there for my liking. My cat' is the lowest point on the car. If I go any lower, even 20 or 30mm, I fear I might collect speed humps!

cheers mate, so the standard exhaust manifolds are pretty good up to say 300kw or so??? like you wouldn't put one on unless you were putting a custom plenum on as well?

yeah looks like the dump pipe is 2.5"?

standard chinese shit... DO NOT BUY

a turbo charged car does not have the "extractors" that a naturally aspirated car has, on an NA car, you have the head, the extracters/headers(on a 4banger they are 4-2-1 or 4-1) then the rest of the exhaust.

on a turbo car you have the exhaust manifold hanging off of the head, with the turbo on that, then from the exhaust of the turbo- the first bit is called the dump or down pipe, then from there too the cat is the "front" pipe, then your cat, then the catback system which ideally has a midmuffler then the rear muffler

cool thanks for clearing that up for me ryan, just wasn't sure how it all worked with the "turbo back" system

now time for a dump/front pipe, is it better to get a dump and front in one piece or to get the spilt dump pipe with a separate front pipe?

personally I would go a proper 3" bellmouth, not the chinese spilt's...

yeh thats what i thought too, just lookin at a couple on ebay, there's one that is a 3"bellmouth design dump and front pipe in one for a 33 (which means it should fit my S2 ) i dont see what the advantage is of having a split dump pipe anyways, its all going into one pipe anyways?? :S

I've had good dealings with http://www.justjap.com/

Greg from GKtech is a champ too, but i wasn't impressed with his RB product.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
