you may be better getting it up on a hoist and have a welder handy as many of the dump pipes out there need a little tweeking to fit correctly. but if you know its going to fit then its not hard to attempt yourself, just do the usually exhaust things, spray a little WD40 or Inox on the bolts/nuts before removing them, and you may need to replace a gasket or two.

+1 on an easy job. and yeah let the car cool down for a few hours AT LEAST after you have driven it.

just make sure you line everything up before you completely tighten the bolt/nuts up because youll just have to go loosen it again when it doesnt quite line up :P

Its easy. Need an allen key for bellmouth bolts and an extra jack to hold the cat back section up. I could not get one of the allen head bolts in. It needed a bit ground off the head. It took about three hours, with stops for liquid sustenence.

I managed to do mine with one car ramp - drove the car up on the front passenger side wheel, chocked up the rears and worked from there. Safer than using a jack with stands. :laugh:

Bellmouth dumps are a snore to install, just make sure you've got plenty of arm stamina, a good ratchet set, grease, WD40 and good eyesight for lining everything up. When I was mating the dump to the cat I used bricks to take the weight of the cat-back section. :D

Did you get all the bolts in?

Just did a split-dump install on my series 2. I found it easiest to unbolt the dump pipe flange at the cat' and remove the turbo and dump as one unit... but that was because I was changing the turbo at the same time :) It was then pretty easy to bolt the dump to the turbo out of the car, and carefully re-insert the turbo & dump assembly from the engine bay.

Cat ended up angled down ever so SLIGHTLY and wouldn't quite mate with the first flange on the cat-back exhaust (at least not without putting more force on the dump to keep it straight than I was comfortable with). So I had an exhaust place make up a mild 3" cat-back system with mandrel bends and magnaflow oval mufflers :down: Very nice but very drony... loudest at 2k then it gets quieter???!

i did mine yesterday..... made me a little angry by the end of it but it was ok... start by getting rid of the heat sheild and drowning the bolts in inox... while there soaking take the cat out/off from the dump... slowly crack the bolts on the turbo... i was told to be carful as there obviously guna be fairly heat f**ked from there hard life.... i had trouble getting the 2 middle bolts in... theres like a rectangle shape that forms the bell mouth... and the 2 middle ones didnt go in very far on mine.. all in all i didnt notice alot of difference from having the 3" decat back, to adding the dump but ahwell

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.
