I think it's pretty stupid of Livo not to take up on a group buy. And wtf does flooding the market have to do with anything. Pathetic I say.

There's 1 bolt that's a real PITA to get to on the dump pipe. It's right at the top and you can only get to it from underneath.

Yeah the guy was a bit funny there eh. telling me he was going to flood the market with his dumps..

Does one of you guys work for Charleston? its in Blacktown right?

Its fair enough they will be doing a supply and fit, i dont see a problem with that, what are they charging for a full 3 inch and dump?

cant be any worse than a gtr dump eh? it looks like you can actually get your hands in there!

i'm going to do the high flow also, gotta call my mate at turbologic soon to get it done. will prob go the bb turbo tho.

Liverpool Exhaust can flood the market but I predict not many people will buy their piece of sh!te. :P especially Andy lol

None of us work for Charlestone, but it's run by a top bloke and he has a good name on a variety of car forums etc. Craig has had several cars fitted out by them. It's at Blacktown yes.

The factory turbo is bb, it doesn't look like a good choice to go bush (check the turbo thread if you havn't already).

I don't have a price on the full system yet, I'll wait until the dump pipe is ready to be produced and then I will get a price on the dump and the rest of the system. I'm hoping to keep my Nismo muffler and pipe (cat back) but I will have to see how the airflow goes.

No, none of us work there. Jetwreck speaks highly of them so I thought I would give them a call get a quote and see what they suggested.

It was a very easy decission in the end as they were by far, the best service, best advice (all other shops had a one solution to all problems) and the killer the price was by far the best.

A business with a good business ethic and customer service wins me every day.

I would also say the same of Fast Fit at Leichardt as there response to my inquiry about the tow bar was top notch. I will tell you about the craftmanship after Thursday.

I can not say the same of many other exhaust shop I have been to over the last couple of months.

Yee sweet met up with Craig tonite, and he gave me the spiel on charleston,

that stock dump looks like a nightmare! i will soon have a solution, i cant believe how much restriction these cars have now.. as far as performance gains go with exhausts/dumps there is clearly a huge difference in any direction you take.

i'll get my car up on the hoist soon to see what kind of clearance we have and make a nice smooth bend out of the flange.

we're only going to make a dump that replaces the stock item. that way front pipes/catback selection is up to you.

p.s. Nice car Craig :) and good to meet you too!

Ill be following this as well!

keen as a bean for a dump

Go to the loo then man :P

Hi Ben

The dump Andrew is getting made up is for a M35 Stagea not the C34.

Cheers

Andy

I think you will find Benny may have just upgraded to an M35 :D

yeh dumb ass 1(andy) and 2(steve)!!!! :)

Andrew and I will keep you up to date Ben.

Why am I a dumb ass? :P

I was pointing out to Andy that Benny had upgraded!!

Sheesh!!

The jig has been made up,

all we have now is to check out under the car to see how smooth a bend we can get coming out of the turbo flange :P

hopefully will get a good look tomorrow arvo otherwise i'll be down the snow for the weekend..

Ok so the Jig is up!! hehe

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
