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

yeah the extra jack is handy! a trolley jack is good, but if you dont have 2 of them, use the stock one, you can wind it by hand to get the height right to attach to the rest of the exhaust!

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

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
