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

So...R33=S2 ,so Can I use let's say Apexi R33 front pipe and HKS split dump????????

Possibly, depends if it clears the firewall and floor-pan (angle of the bends will be somewhat critical here).

I suggest that it's much easier fitting-wise, and possibly cheaper, to go for a 1-piece front & dump pipe - 1 pipe from the turbo all the way back to the cat'. Apparrently the JustJap stagea bellmouth fits these days, and if you make sure to tell them series 1 or 2, and find out if you can return it if it doesn't fit, you should be pretty safe.

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I just have a few questions.

Has anyone had experience with the GKtech front/dump pipe combo?

I'm trying to decide between that and the JJR bellmouth one that I know a few people on here are running

I'll also be looking for a cat converter, I assume something like this would be fine?

Car is a S1 C34, and has a 3 inch catback system

Thanks guys

Brian,

I'd steer clear of that split front dump setup.... Just get the proven JJR front dump with catco cat. That split system I think will come awfully close to the firewall.

Yeah, that is something I would be concerned with too. I actually contacted Greg from GKtech a few months ago to see if it would fit and he couldn't guarantee that it would, as he hadnt had anyone use it on a Stagea apparently.

I think I'll just play it safe and go with the JJR option, unless anyone can confirm that the GKtech one will fit properly.

I'm running the JJR split front/dump, and no problems with firewall clearance (s2 c34). And huge gains in performance after going from stanard, but I also got 200 cell high flow metal cat and 3" stainless catback with connon from 32gtr.

Anybody running the 'GTR front pipes' from JJR on a 260RS??

Was contemplating buying a set and tesing it out, and if it doesnt fit sell to a GTR owner. Or just modify myself.

Bit of a trial and error I guess.

    • 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?
