I'm pretty sure they are what I've got except pained in black with added external gate port, as all the welding patterns are the same.

The goal is to supply a kit that keeps every customers at my test car's performance at a budget price. As mentioned earlier, I'm investing a fair amount in re-developing the current TDxx series of turbochargers, manifold and gate are crucial.

This is just a FYI for anyone going to buy a JJR 3inch dump pipe.

Did a paper gasket outlining the outlet of the SS2 turbo. Below is the difference in size:

I will be getting the dump pipe fixed up to make it flow better

Seeing as stao makes his based on the OEM gasket I'd say the JJR dumps have started slipping in quality. Usually the machinery needs to be renewed and replaced every so often to keep the standard the same. That sort of thing is a secondary priority to a cheap offshore supplier.

I have seen things that have holes etc punched end up under diameter as tooling wears etc, but profiled flanges be it water cut, laser cut, plasma cut etc etc wont generally have tolerance issues. More than likely the machined adaptor is a little out. Better too much meat that you can grind back then not enough material.

Just a question...doesnt tao machine the fark out of the flange on the turbo. So the dump wont match up..

Has anyone else with an SS serise done what Tony is doing?

Tony do u have a stock gasket around to compare to?

Here is a stock gasket on the SS2. pretty much perfect. Got jibbed on the JJR dump/front pipe

Good luck getting the bolts in with it like that though... :P

Thought some of the guys in here might be interested in this. Video I took earlier today of me in my R34 with ATR43 G3 (350rwhp) vs Jay-rod in his R34 with ATR43 G2.5 (340rwhp):

Mine was pretty well spot on but my jjr dump is 6 or 7 yrs old. Just gave it a quick clean up with a grinder and angled the inside edge of the flange.

Sounds like a dodgy one

Good to see some one actually done a trace. That dump pipe don't look good, I hope the actual pipe is welded outside of where the flange is, or there will be a big gap once die-grinded. Its going to make discharging of air more difficult, which its already hard getting enough out of the Nissan 6 bolt pattern. I would definitely get that exchanged/fixed before turbo installation. Just got to admit that if you want some thing done properly you must do it your self. I'll be making a Vband / two bolt type 4inch front/dump pipe for all ATR43 turbochargers replacing the current Nissan 6bolt dumps in very near future.

Made and trailed a Dual Ceramic roller SS2 today. (took me 3 hours to balance, with all the extra bearing collars)

The sample manifold looks not too bad and haven't cracked yet with 22psi. There is a just noticeable off boost response using the roller setup. I will make a few for those interested in evaluation at the normal price.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, I wish my car had been ready for this years Powercruise. I did finally get the engine installed today though! Lots more to do though :/

Yeah no money for that :/

Heard custom ones are really exy

The JJR one only cost $170

Nah PE in Ringwood would have made a good 3 inch bellmouth out of the standard dump flange for sweet fk all. My entire exhaust from them was $600 with me supplying a Varex!

Yes I've fitted the prototype manifold. It is awful, lots of dressing up work required and i'm certainly not impressed with the level of workmanship, the final product I will be selling will be a steam pipe manifold with every thing done to specifications. it will definitely flow much better then a stock Rb25det manifold.

How long before these are ready and how much? i've just snapped a manifold bolt and it's stinking the car out now.

Just wondering if i should re-bolt it or upgrade

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
