Hi all,

Hoping to get out to pick up some exhaust gaskets on my lunch break today and I know that the ID is 275mm but I don't know the ED/bolt spacing... can anybody help out at short notice? ;)

thanks!

275mm is like 10 plus inches.?????

lol oops sorry meant 75mm ;) not to worry, went to local motormate/sprint type shops and they "don't have anything that big". So will have to go to an exhaust place anyway... thanks

its a standard bolt PCD anyway just a 2 bolt gasket. i know 2.25" through to 3" all have the same bolt PCD. thats why you can bolt on a 3" catback exhaust to the stock 2.25" cat. the holes are 105mm PCD.

Cheers!!!

I only heard this last night, when I went to pick up a split pipe... the guy told me it would bolt to the standard cat-back for now... that explains it. I held off doing anything about exhaust for so long thinking that I couldn't do anything unless I changed the whole system :S This is very useful info - exhausts are always being modified. Now to find a 105mm PCD gasket with 3"/275mm ID... probably exhaust shop.

Hey Dave, that 275 is bigger than a zorst for a Mack truck. Its as big as my cannon diameter.

AAA exhausts on deacon avenue will have them if you can't find them anywhere else

Thanks Mike - that's actually the place I called a while ago about possibly getting a custom cat-back system made up. I'm going to go see them about it when I have the car back on the road.

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.

      Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
